The Great wall built closer the city Xianyang to protect the city from the north. The Great Wall was used to protect China from the northern mongols. The Qin dynasty was located on the eastern part of present day China right next to the east China sea and the Yellow sea. The Qin dynasty consisted of 36 smaller provinces within China. This was done to keep China more in control. This kept China in control because 1 emperor that rules all of China which might cause rebellions. If this happened the emperor would not know about it. Creating bureaucracy allowed Qin to elected 2 government officials to run each province rather than let the province run itself. With not as much experience the province would fall. Government officials keep the province on track. Xianyang was the capital of China during the Qin dynasty.
