Yanball

Yanball was an Ancient Chinese state that lived in the Spring-Autumn and Warring States period. Its name means "swallow". It was one of the seven most powerful states of the Warring States period.
==History==
Yanball was established in 1044 BC. It is called "Yan" because its clay was around the Yan Mountains at first. Originally, its capital was at Liuliheball. When the Western Zhouball collapsed, it was surrounded by various states. Yanball conquered Jiball soon after and moved its capital there. It annexed a Shanrong stateball called Tuheball in 664 BC. It conquered Guzhuball and Lingzhiball with Qiball in 660 BC so it had a friendship with Qiball. It formed a rivalry with Gija Joseonball and they fought multiple times and took clay from it (although Yanball never fully conquered it).
It survived well into the warring states period. One of its cities, Wuyangball, became the biggest city for a hundred years. Yanball proclaimed itself a kingdom in 323 BC. 
In 320 BC, The Rebellion of Zizhi broke out. Qiball and Zhongshanball took some clay from Yanball, so Yanball hated Qiball very much. In 286 BC, Qiball conquered Songball, making many countryballs shocked. Yanball took this opportunity and started a war towards Qiball. Yanball, Qinball, Hanball, Zhaoball and Weiball came together and conquered more than 70 cities and sacked Qiball's Capital Linziball. Chuball also attacked Qiball from the south. Qiball only had two cities after the war, but it retook all of the cities which occupied by Yanball after a few years. Yanball attacked Donghuball and its border advanced more than two thousand li eastward. Yanball also built the oldest portions of the Great Wall to protect itself from barbarians, such as the Donghuball and Xiongnuball.
In 227 BC, Yanball attempted to assassinate the king of Qinball, but failed. Subsequently, Qinball launched a war and seized most of Yanball's clay, including its capital Jiball. Yanball fled to the Liaodong Peninsula.
When Qinball went to war with it, they put up a fight, but Yanball was annexed by Qinball in 222 BC. Someone established another countryball which was also called Yanball after Qinball collapsed in BC 206. Yanball's clay was remerged into Hanball at last.
