221 Bc Emperor Qin's The Great Wall Of China

The Great Wall of China was built to protect China from invaders and to keep out raiding parties of nomadic tribes, such as the Mongol, Turic and Xiongnu, from modern-day Mongolia and Manchuria. The Mongols were a tribal group that would regularly raid China. The wall was successful in keeping the Mongols out of China for a while but eventually, the Mongols conquered China.

The Great Wall of China is one of the most beautiful and biggest ancient structure. In ancient times it was very well maintained and now it is sort of maintained because 30% of the wall is gone. The wall shows pride and culture to china even though 30% of the wall is gone and now there are laws in place to protect and maintain the wall. However most of the wall if gone is from human damage.

For thousands years, the Mongols have been a big threat to the Chinese civilization. The Great Wall of China took about 2000 years to build and finish. It has been measured to be over 5,488 miles long. Due to the many threats and enemies of Chinese, the wall was built. In my opinion, the benefits of building the wall do outweigh the costs for many reasons surrounding the topic.

The Great Wall of China is often regarded as one of the man-made wonders of the world. The Great Wall of China was constructed by two early Chinese dynasties; the Qin Dynasty (221 BCE-206 BCE) and the Han Dynasty (206 BCE-220 CE). Emperor Qin was considered to be cruel and brutal. Cruel rulers invite rebellion and in 206 BCE, his successors were overthrown by the Han Dynasty. Both dynasties shared a common concern, border security. The wall was constructed over a period of 2,500 years and stretch to be 5,488 miles long. The wall was built to increase security, impress visitors and enhance the glory of china. However the wall also required much sacrifice on the part of the Chinese people. Overall did the benefits outweigh the costs? There were both costs and benefits into building the Great Wall of China, but the benefits outweigh the cost. The great walls benefits outweighed the costs by providing protection, create new towns

The Great Wall was built by The Qin and the Han Dynasty. They built The Great Wall to keep out and protect China from the Mongols. The benefits of building The Great Wall of China did not outweigh the costs. In Document B, it showed that tribute was being paid by The Han. The Han was one of the the dynasties who first built The Great Wall. This shows that the benefits did not outweigh the costs because The Han still had tribute to pay to the Xiongnu Mongols and The Han dynasty still had to build and protect The Wall from the Mongols. In Document C, the text indicated that The Qin and The Han dynasties were peasants, and worked on The Great Wall while they got feed a little bit of food and suffered. The Qin and The Han were not treated well

When many think of the country China, the first thing that comes to mind for many is the Great Wall of China. Over the time period of the Qin and Han dynasty, the wall was began being built to protect the people from Xiongnu who lived on the Northern China border. This group of people was a major threat to the Chinese people. To fix this problem the wall seemed like the only probably choice and the enormous project of building the wall began. Though a great deal went into building the Great Wall of Ancient China, the benefits of the wall outweighed the costs.

◎ The Great Wall of China was started to be built by the Han and the Qin dynasty. They built the wall to keep the Xiongnu Mongols out of China. However the benefits of building the Great Wall of China did not outweigh the costs. According to Document B it showed the Chinese had to pay tribute in silk bales to the Xiongnu mongols. This showed that even though the Chinese had built a wall to keep out the Mongols the Chinese still had to pay them tribute. To add on, as the Chinese added to the wall and made it greater and more massive the tribute they had to pay started to increase as the years went by. Another reason why the benefits of The Great Wall of China did not outweigh the costs is The Great Wall caused many deaths. Another reason

 China’s people needed food as much as they needed protection, but hey had people who could help with starvation and protection, but they’re not the same people.  Peasants were farmers who could harvest food and feed china, soldiers are fighters that can protect China with their forces.   Therefore building the great wall wasn’t a good choice not only did they lose most of their workers but hey lost their supply of

The Great Wall is made out of a series of wall that “were built to increase security, impress visitors and enhance the glory of China” (Background Essay). People in the cities were always frightened by the idea of the Mongols invading China. However, the wall prevented this from happening due to the amount of people “selected to settle along the border areas permanently” (Document B). The people that were selected were to remain there incase of invasion. Due to the brilliant idea of the wall Chinese people were able to continue their lives in peace.

The Great Wall of China was built by the Qin and Han dynasties. The main reason they built this structure was to keep out the northern invaders, known as the Mongols.

Also, millions of soldiers and workers died from coldness, and hunger. This means that more lives were taken than actually saved, which isn't fair. It isn't fair because everyone was in the army risking their lives to build the wall for it to not be worth it. The wall wasn't worth it because according to Document B, Han still had to pay

The Great Wall of China was originally built during the Qin and Han Dynasties to protect China from the Xiongnu. It took the people of ancient China nearly 2,000 years to build and spans nearly 6,000 miles. However, building the wall was extremely costly in terms of men and supplies.

This is a result of the wall providing protection for merchants, the people within the wall and preventing the Xiongnu from invading.

The wall couldn’t stop Genghis Khan and the Mongols because they would go around the wall. They would also go under the wall. The wall still stands after all of the invasions and attacks. The great wall of China is the most known symbol in china.
