Fall+of+the+Qin+Dynasty

The Qin Dynasty only lasted for a short period of time. As cruel as his father was, Shi Huangdi's son proved less able of emperor. Peasants rebelled just 3 years after the second Qin emperor took office. A leader from the land of Han marched his troops into the capital city. By 202 B.C., the harsh Qin dynasty gave way to the Han Dynasty, on of the longest in Chinese History.
