The Great Wall was constructed by the Ming dynasty to keep out the Mongols, who were a war-like race who had previously conquered China. Ironically, the Ming had to invite the Manchu's (who lived outside the wall) to come and help them defeat rebels. The Manchu's took-over China and ruled until 1912.
