Imperial China is traditionally considered to have started after The Qin conquered its neighbours . What'd happen if the Zhao or the Chu unified the nation? Would it be possible?
Well, the royal house of Han Dynasty (Liu) hailed from Chu. Nevertheless, a unified China under Chu leadership is indeed interesting.I personally find the Chu and the Wei to have the best shots at unifying China aside from the Qin.
The Chu was alienated due to it's size and cultural differences from the other kingdoms. However, given sheer size and population, the CHu unifying China is not impossible.
An interesting to be of note thing might be that much of the Qin royal family was of Chu origin, including Qin Shihuang who's (I think) grandmother and aunt were both Chu princesses married off to the Qin.Well, the royal house of Han Dynasty (Liu) hailed from Chu.

Oooohhhhh... I didn't knew that the First Chinese Emperor has a Chu blood flowing in his veins.An interesting to be of note thing might be that much of the Qin royal family was of Chu origin, including Qin Shihuang who's (I think) grandmother and aunt were both Chu princesses married off to the Qin.
