For years now the 7 different states of Chu,Han,Qin,Wei,Zhao,Qi, and Yan have been fighting viciously and violently. And all for what?Its quiet simple actually,Power. And as a result of the desperate need for power the Zhou dynasty lost it, and now they are no more. It's true, the worlds longest thriving dynasty finally came to the end of its journey, all for the greedy need of power. It all started in 475 BC when the development of new strong weapons, iron, and extreme tactics,the states of the eastern Zhou made sure to take advantage of it. It can all be simply explained in a simple equation.Weapons+need of power=WAR.That's what triggered one of the biggest most important period in Chinese history.
But was it worth ending a thriving dynasty all for power? Did the warring states know that this would trigger the end of a great dynasty? Could this tragedy have possibly been avoided? All of these question that will probably remain unanswered for years on end, but there is one other thing that these question have in common. the rulers that made the great warring period happen did not think of these question before creating such a dent in Chinese history. Clearly if they had though of these question before making such catastrophe, this tragic warring state may not have happened.

If those rulers would have though if these question they may have learned that they should have built rather than destroy. They should have comprised and make peace with other states. unfortunately they did, and now we are witnessing the outcome of this tragedy. Now what remains of the warring period is a new dynasty, one that shall prosper and thrive, but whether it would as great as the Zhou,is not known yet, but the Zhou dynasty had its chance and is now gone.
