The first emperor of China, called Qin Shi Huang Di, connected several pieces of smaller walls which had been built by the leaders of other "states" in China. When Qin Shi Huang Di unified China by beating the other states in wars, he joined the smaller sections into one larger wall. The walls were all built to keep out the Mongols. The wall was not built in a few years. The wall was built over several hundred years by different emperors. The construction of the wall, in a sense, continues today, as the Communist government of China has rebuilt several sections of the Wall.
