Xiang Yu splits the former Qin Empire…

213 BCE to 202 BCE

Xiang Yu splits the former Qin Empire into the so-called Eighteen Kingdoms following the collapse of the dynasty in 206 BCE.

Two prominent contending powers, Western Chu and Han, emerge from these principalities and engage in a struggle for supremacy over China.

Western Chu is led by Xiang Yu, while the Han leader is Liu Bang.

During this period of time, several minor kings from the Eighteen Kingdoms also fight battles against each other.

These battles are independent of the main conflict between Chu and Han.

The war ends with total victory for Han, after which Liu Bang proclaims himself "Emperor of China" and, as Emperor Gaozu of Han, establishes the Han Dynasty in 202 BCE.
