7 an a half bloody mongolians. Just to keep the rabbits out!
yes. People were forced to work on the great wall.
farmers and mercharses were forced to work on the wall
They were forced too
The actual labor of building the Great Wall of China was done by soldiers, criminals, and common people. It took millions of labors to build the wall. Criminals were forced to build the wall as punishment and common people were forced at times to work on the wall, including children.
Farmers were forced to work. Some slaves or prisoners were used too.
The Great Wall was built mainly by forced labor under Imperial decree. When people were needed to build or man the Wall, they were usually conscripted by the Emperor from the local populace, in effect defending their own homes. However, many slaves were also forced to work in the construction many of them died. The great wall was built to prevent invasion.
The Great Wall was begun around 220BC by the Chinese Emperor Qin Shi Huang. Huange commanded local rulers to erect the wall which was maintained until the 16th century.
Yes, but the main people who built it were prisoners. They were forced to work and the peasants and warriors helped them.
Shi Huangdi forced commoners to work on government projects.This was because he had built the great wall.For example;If one rested on the Great Wall,they must be buried alive in it.Men also had to leave their families and was forced to work to build this Great Wall.This was very harsh.
Well, it actually killed a lot of people when it was under construction, many of the peasents who were forced to build it died from starvation, desease and over work. But it did protect many of the northern towns and villages from the invading monguls.
Shi Huangdi's decision to require peasants to work on the Great Wall can be seen as justified from the perspective of national security, as the wall was intended to protect the empire from invasions. However, the forced labor led to immense suffering and hardship for many peasants, raising ethical concerns about the means used to achieve this goal. Ultimately, while the wall served a practical purpose, the human cost and exploitation involved in its construction highlight the moral complexities of Shi Huangdi's policies.
