Question

During the 200s B.C.E., a Chinese emperor ordered his people to connect walls built by earlier rulers. The completed project, the Great Wall of China, extended along the northern border of China. It was meant to protect the Chinese from invasions that came from the north. Why do you think the emperor was more concerned about attacks from this direction than any other?

Answer 1

I think the emperor was more concerned about the attacks from the north than any other direction because they were protected greatly from the ocean in the east, the mountains in the west, and the ocean in the south. They were kind of protected in the North, by the sand, but not much.
