Final answer:
It is false that Imperial China lasted for 2100 years until the Republican Revolution of 1911 because there were significant periods of disunity and fragmentation in Chinese history, and the Qing Dynasty, China's last, lasted nearly 300 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
After the Qin unification, it is false that Imperial China lasted for 2100 years, until the Republican Revolution of 1911. The Qin Dynasty, which established China's first imperial dynasty, lasted from 221 BCE to 206 BCE, for only 15 years. Various dynasties succeeded Qin, notably the Han, Tang, Song, Ming, and finally the Qing Dynasty which ended in 1911. If we examine the periods of political unity and divide, it's evident that China was not always under unified imperial rule, with significant periods of disunity and fragmentation.
Detailed historical records show that the actual period of imperial control as we understand it today spans less than the 2100 years from Qin's unification to the fall of the Qing Dynasty in 1911. The Qing Dynasty itself lasted nearly 300 years from its start in 1636 and ended in 1911, which disqualifies the 2100-year claim. Over the centuries, China experienced a succession of dynasties with varying degrees of control and significant internal strife, including major rebellions that challenged the notion of long-lasting imperial unity.
