These points will be discussed throughout the essay. The Great Wall of China expands more than 5,000 kilometers and took more than 2,000 years to build. The Great Wall of China was built to protect China. The protection was from its enemies and invaders from the North, especially from the Mongols. The Mongols were

The barbarian invaders left the Roman Empire fragmented, broken into small kingdoms ruled by separate leaders. Feudalism began to thrive as peasants needed protection from the common attacks of invaders. In exchange for protection, the peasants, known as serfs, worked the land and payed taxes to their lieges.

For all this time they have been multiplying in the soil, in the water, and in our bodies. They are in the mouth, on the skin, and even in important organs. But that is not always a bad thing, because humans could not live without germs. Some germs, or "microbes" help digest food, while others produce vitamins. Most of the time, people and germs coexist peacefully;
