The '''Qin dynasty''' (秦朝) was an imperial dynasty of [[China]] that ruled from 221 BCE to 206 BCE. Despite being the shortest major dynasty in Chinese history, the Qin became the starting point of the Chinese imperial system.<ref name="Wiki">{{WP|Qin dynasty}}</ref> 

==History==
In 221 BCE, the King of {{Wiki|Qin (state)|Qin}} conquered all of the other kingdoms, ending the {{Wiki|Warring States period}} and reuniting China for the first time in six centuries. With his victory, he inaugurated the first imperial dynasty of China, renaming himself [[Qin Shi Huang]].<ref name="Dynasty teaser">''[[Assassin's Creed: Dynasty]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Dynasty Chapter 0|Teaser]]</ref><ref name="ACCC">''[[Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China]]'' – [[Database: Great Wall of China]]</ref> During his reign, the [[Order of the Ancients]] assisted Qin Shi Huang with political and economic reforms, as well as his massive construction projects such as the [[Great Wall of China]].<ref name="Encyclopedia">''[[Assassin's Creed Encyclopedia]]''</ref>

Thanks to a failed [[assassination]] attempt by [[Jing Ke]], Qin Shi Huang became paranoid of further attempts.<ref name="Dynasty 34">''[[Assassin's Creed: Dynasty]]'' – [[The Hidden Ones (Part 2)]]</ref> He amassed all the nation's [[soldier]]s and weapons to himself to exterminate every last one of them,<ref name="Dynasty teaser" /> but it was to no avail. Determined to end his tyranny, the Assassin [[Wei Yu]] killed him in 210 BCE with a [[spear]] [[Jing Ke (spear)|named after]] the late Jing Ke during one of his eastern China tours.<ref name="Encyclopedia"/><ref name="AC2">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'' – [[Floating conversations]]: Unlocking Monteriggioni's Secrets</ref> Inner fighting among his court culminated in the death of the following emperor and the end of the dynasty.<ref name="Wiki"/>
