Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The Great Wall of China was built over centuries by China’s emperors to protect their territory.
Detailed explanation-2: -Because invading armies often used cavalry, a wall provided a fairly solid impediment that was difficult to get horses across. It could also be used tactically, as in 1428, when a Chinese general was able to pin a group of invading Mongols against a section of the wall and defeat them.
Detailed explanation-3: -The emperor’s most ambitious project was the building of the Great Wall along China’s northern border. The purpose of the wall was to protect the north China border from invasion. The Emperor of Qin set about building the wall like a general trying to win a war.
