THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA
The Great Wall started as earth works thrown up for protection by different States The individual sections weren’t connected until the Quin dynasty (221-206 B.C) Quin Shihuangdi, First Emperor of Quin began conscripting peasants, enemies, and anyone else who wasn’t tied to the land to go to work on the Wall He garrisoned armies at the Wall to stand guard over the workers as well as to defend the northern boundaries The tradition lasted for centuries, and each dynasty added up to the height, breath, length, and elaborated the design mostly through forced labor
It was during the Ming dynasty (1368-1644) that the Wall took on its present form The brick and granite work was enlarged and sophisticated designs were added The watch towers were redesigned and modern canon were mounted in strategic areas The Portuguese had found a ready market for guns and canon in China, one of the few items of trade that China didn’t already have in abundance The Ming Emperors, having overthrown the Hun dominance and expelled Mongol rulers of the North devoted large portions of available material and manpower to making sure that they didn’t return
The Wall served well Only when a dynasty had weakened from within were invaders from the north able
to advance and conquer Both the Mongols (Yuan Dynasty, 1271-1368) and the Manchurians (Qing Danasty 1644-1911) were able to take power, not because of weakness in the Wall but because of weakness in the government and the poverty of the people They took advantage of rebellion from within and stepped into the void of power without extended wars
