Detailed explanation-1: -Shi Huangdi also built the Great Wall of China, roughly 1, 500 miles long and guarded by a massive army, to protect the nation against northern invaders. The Qin Dynasty collapsed after only 15 years. There was a brief period of chaos until the Han Dynasty was established.
Detailed explanation-2: -Around 220 B.C.E., Qin Shi Huang, also called the First Emperor, united China. He masterminded the process of uniting the existing walls into one. At that time, rammed earth and wood made up most of the wall.
Detailed explanation-3: -Perhaps the most recognizable symbol of China and its long and vivid history, the Great Wall was originally conceived by Emperor Qin Shi Huang in the third century B.C. as a means of preventing incursions from barbarian nomads.
Detailed explanation-4: -Qin Shi Huangdi, the first Qin Emperor, was a brutal ruler who unified ancient China and laid the foundation for the Great Wall. China already had a long history by the time its states were unified under its first emperor.
