The Great Wall was built for many reasons such as for communication and to keep unwanted guests out but the biggest reason was to protect the emperor, Qin was a man of power he wanted to be protected in the best way possible
The Great Wall of China was built to keep the Mongolians out and protect the emperor Qin came up with the idea but after Qin died many other emperors had the same idea.
Qin started the construction of the wall but most of the wall was built during the Ming dynasty, Qin was building the wall out of compacted dirt but during the Ming dynasty they started to use bricks which made a difference, Qin got this idea from small villages which had their own wall/fence to protect their village.
It was also used for communication/ send a warning out that the Mongolians were invading.
FACT: When the great wall was being built it was going to be the biggest architecture of the century.
