I think that in that year, Qin Shi Huang annihilated the Six Kingdoms in one fell swoop through more than ten years of foreign annexation wars, and established the first great unified dynasty of China's ancient feudal society. For the history of our country, although this short-lived dynasty existed for a very short time, its impact on the history of our country cannot be described as profound.
It was precisely because of the establishment of this great unified dynasty that China became a veritable power in the world at that time. So when the Great Qin Empire dominated Asia, what were the rest of the world doing at the same time? Let's take a look at it together.
First, let's look at Europe, which at this time belonged to alexander the Great, and the glorious era of Europe was over, replaced by a new Roman regime. When the Great Qin Empire was founded, the Roman Empire was also in its golden age. That is to say, in Europe at that time, the Roman Empire was probably the only country with the strength to compete with the Great Qin Empire.
Secondly, let's look at Africa, because there is a long history of ancient Egyptian civilization, and Africa's historical background can be described as quite deep. However, under the washing of the tide of the times, Africa still has not escaped the fate of being invaded and conquered. At that time, ancient Egypt had long fallen apart under the conquest of the Persian Empire, Macedonia, ancient Babylon and other countries, and fell into an era of chaos. Although with the rise of Carthage, its strength gradually recovered, but because it was often at war with the Roman Empire, its strength was still far inferior to that of the Great Qin Empire.
Next, let's talk about the Americas, according to relevant records, there was no country on the American continent at that time, and the various regimes existed in the form of tribes. Compared with Europe, the United States and Africa, Asia at that time was quite lively. First of all, let's talk about India, before that, India was once invaded by Alexander's Empire, but when the Qin Empire rose, India not only successfully drove out the invaders of Alexander's Empire, but they also established the Peacock Dynasty, which was at its peak at that time.
Iran to the west also escaped the colonial rule of Alexander's empire and established its own imperial resting empire. As for the northeast, it was the territory of Miko Korea, but Korea was not completely unified at that time, because to its south there were three powerful tribes of Mahan, Tatsuhan, and Mouhan in a confrontational state.
Next, let's talk about the northern part of the Great Qin Empire, when the Great Qin Empire's old enemy, the Xiongnu, appeared a very powerful commander, who was called Touman Danyu. Under the leadership of a generation of male leaders Man Shan Yu, the Xiongnu tribes basically reached unification, but compared to the powerful Great Qin Empire, they were still not too dazzling roles. In the end, they were defeated by the 300,000 troops of the Qin Dynasty and could only live north of the Great Wall.
Finally, let's take a look at what our neighbor Japan was doing at that time, right?
It may be inconceivable that when China entered the era of feudal dynasties, Japan was still in the primitive tribal period of slash-and-burn farming. According to relevant historical records, Japan at that time coincided with the Yayoi period. That is to say, at that time, the Japanese were still relying on hunting and gathering for a living. I think that if it were not for the various advanced civilizations and farming techniques that the Central Plains people later brought with them, they would probably have taken a longer time to cross this period.
With the five-thousand-year history of China, there are indeed many things worth savoring and studying. The so-called reading of history can be wise, not only to make us take fewer detours, but also to understand the knowledge of history is particularly important for a person's growth.
In order to better cultivate children's interest in historical knowledge, a set of "Half-Hour Comics chinese History" invested by Zhang Quanling, a former CCTV sister, and written by Chen Lei, a webcomic master "two mixed children", has been published so far, and has sold more than 30 million copies, truly saving children from mobile phone games, even parents and adults love to watch, the content is witty and humorous, and the readability is extremely strong.

This set of books has 3 core features:
1. Witty humor has changed people's boring perception of history
In Chen Lei's pen, the Spring and Autumn Warring States are like a class, the Great Qin dynasty is addicted to death, the Three Kingdoms are the three major battles, the Wei and Jin dynasties are chaotic, the Southern and Northern Dynasties are rich in losers, and the Tang Dynasty is the most dazzling national style. Every piece of history, every change of dynasty, is firmly remembered in the light and humorous passages.
For example, the paragraph in the book that introduces Xiao He, before it was only known that "Success is also Xiao He, defeat is also Xiao He", but it is not what Xiao He is doing, this can be clear: Who is Xiao He? He is Liu Bang's "logistics minister" and "god-level otaku", no matter how Liu Bang fights over and over on the front line, no matter how badly he is beaten, there will always be substitutes and grain and grass delivered in time, and the next day the order will arrive, and the brothers on the road call him "Xiao Shunfeng".
