The Great Wall of China was created to keep out the Mongolians and Norads. After the first 200 years in the making, the Mongolians and the Norads were no more. Yet China is one of the most powerful countries in the world today. Although the Great Wall we see today looks old, the original Great Wall of China was only a fraction of the one we see today, it was created 180 years earlier. It also helped their military on invaders due to the height advantage, in which the defence could look further and destroy the enemy before they were a threat.
