China was formed by independent states before Qin Shihuang united them all; the "Son of Heaven" of Zhou dynasty was like today's Japanese emperor, they were titled as the monarch of China, but they only had very limited power and held a very small territory. Different states ruled their own people by their own laws. Make it simpler, China was like a confederation, so it was never united until Qin dynasty

What happened with nobles began to reject the Zhou kings authority?
As the Zhou dynasty progressed, many nobles began to reject the authority of the Zhou kings, leading to a fragmentation of power. This decline in central authority resulted in the rise of local warlords and the establishment of independent states, ultimately contributing to the Warring States period. The nobles sought greater autonomy and control over their territories, undermining the Zhou king's ability to maintain a unified rule. This shift marked a significant transition in Chinese political structure, leading to increased instability and conflict.

How did the actions of the Zhou kings lead to powerful the warlords?
The Zhou kings, originally powerful, gradually weakened their control over regional territories by granting land to nobles and warlords in exchange for loyalty and military support. As the central authority diminished, these warlords gained autonomy, building their own armies and asserting local power. Over time, the lack of strong central governance allowed these warlords to compete for dominance, leading to the fragmentation of the Zhou dynasty and the rise of individual states during the Warring States period. This shift ultimately eroded the kings' influence and led to a more decentralized political structure.
