Because he wanted the people who built it to be remembered
the emperor
Qin shihuangdi, the first emperor of china started it to protect china from invaders and it evolved into a building project on an unparallel scale.
The Meiji Restoration of 1868 was done in the name of the Emperor Meiji. Under this new government, Japan quickly modernized itself.
China itself is just a region. The countries are the People's Republic of China and, if you agree, the Republic of China (Taiwan).
The last emperor of China, emperor of record, being Han-Chinese, would be the Zhū Yóujiǎn or Emperor Chóngzhēn, who ruled China from 1627-1644. Manchurians (people from MANCHURIA) then conquered China and China's imperial court then went into hiding and continued their lineage and succession in view of foreign rule over the Han-Chinese people.
Many thousands of people were involved in the building of the wall. From records it appears that 300,000 soldiers and 500,000 common people were involved in constructing the original Great Wall under Emperor Qin. More than 1,000 people died while building the Great Wall of China!
Qin Shihuangdi was the first emperor of China that unified Chinese government & culutre. He executed hundreds of enemies, and his building project of the Great Wall killed thousands of his own people. Clearly, the Emperor of Qin was both a strong leader and a cruel one.
China's First Emperor was created in 2008.
