What was the Warring States Period of Chinese History?
From 434 BC to around 403 BC the various independent states of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty sat tight and consolidated their resources. What would follow over the next two centuries would be a near-constant state of war.
The seven states that would come to make up the Warring States Period in Chinese history fought one another relentlessly, often shifting alliances in any way that would suit them at the moment. Many of the smaller states that existed at the beginning of the period were wiped out or absorbed into the larger states. By the time the dust had settled only one state remained, one that many had considered to be the weakest when the period began.
It was a revolutionary time in what would become China, not only militarily, but architecturally, philosophically, and religiously as well. I'm glad you've decided to experience it in these exciting fictional accounts that mirror real-life events!
