When was the Great Wall of China built?

Answer 1

The Great Wall of China was built from the 3rd century B.C.E to the 17th century AD, in order to prevent the Mongols from entering and invading China.

The Great Wall is a series of stone and earthen fortifications in China, built, rebuilt, and maintained between the 5th century BC and the 16th century to protect the northern borders of the Chinese Empire during the rule of successive dynasties. Several walls, referred to as the Great Wall of China, were built since the 5th century BC. The most famous is the wall built between 200 BC - 220 BC by the first Emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang; little of it remains; it was much farther north than the current wall, which was built during the Ming Dynasty.

Walls were being built in order to protect the Chinese empire as early as the 7th century BC. However, the collection of walls which have become known as The Great Wall of China were mainly built from 220 to 206 BC.

Answer 4

The great wall of china was built in 1874. More info: Construction of the Great Wall of China was begun during the third century B.C. by Emperor Shih Huang-ti (c. 259-210 B.C.) of the Ch'in dynasty (family of rulers). The immense structure was built as a protective barricade against invasion and was expanded over many centuries. The wall now stretches 1,500 miles, ranging in heights between 20 and 50 feet (6.1 and 15 meters), and is 15 to 25 feet (4.6 to 7.6 meters) thick. Guard stations and watchtowers are placed at regular intervals, but successive invasions of China from the north have proved the wall to be fairly ineffectual. Since 1949 a section of the wall in North Peking has been reconstructed and opened to visitors.
