Why did the Qin dynasty, which unified China under the First Emperor, crumble within just 15 years? Lucas and Luna explore the breakneck speed of unification, the harsh Legalist policies that fueled resentment, and the pivotal role of the First Emperor's sudden death. They examine the conspiracy between Li Si and Zhao Gao that placed the incompetent Qin Er Shi on the throne, the brutal suppression of dissent, and the uprisings that finally shattered the dynasty. From the burning of books to the building of the Great Wall, this episode uncovers how the very measures meant to secure the empire hastened its fall—and how the Han dynasty learned from its predecessor's mistakes. #QinDynasty #QinShiHuang #QinErShi #LiSi #ZhaoGao #Legalism #BookOfLordShang #FalunGong #GreatWall #TerracottaArmy #Xianyang #ChenSheng #WuGuang #XiangYu #LiuBang #MandateOfHeaven #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
