An Emperor, a Ruler, . . . a Tyrant? The first emperor of China. Was feared by enemies. Had an iron fist policy. The not so nice military genius. Ch’in Shih Huang Ti, the first emperor of China, ran the country, but wasn’t China’s favorite. Of course, since he made China so much bigger, was powerful and so cruel, he had many enemies.
