Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ying Zheng is credited with uniting the various warring states in ancient China into a single nation, which he named Qin. He became the first emperor of a unified China and ruled from 221 to 210 BCE. While there were earlier dynasties, Ying Zheng's unification of China is considered the start of imperial China, a period that lasted until the early 20th century. The other options are incorrect, as Egypt was responsible for constructing the pyramids, national armies existed prior to Ying Zheng's reign, and there is no evidence that he mandated literacy.
