1. The major empires (or dynasties) of China.  The Qin dynasty (221-206 BC) was founded by Prince Zheng who conquered all the Chinese states and unified the country; built roads, canals, and irrigation, as well as the earliest construction of the Great Wall.

4.  What I think is the most inovative discovery in this lecture is when the Chinese invented gunpowder.  You completely breezed over this amazing feat in the lecture and I am not sure why.  This discovery was a pivotal point in the Chinese warfare! When they first started using the gunpowder their enemies were so startled that at times they would often retreat immedietly! Gunpowder is also a huge thing because it was
