Great Wall of China

There are several reasons: * The Great Wall isn't an ordinary wall, just use to block the way, but a huge fortress. It has many watchtowers and barracks which can hold a lot of soldiers. * The Great Wall is large enough for soldiers to travel from one watchtower or barrack to another through it, so there no need to get down from it. In case of emergency, it save much time to deploy troops. * On the Great Wall, especially, on its watchtowers, there are lots of excellent points for observation. The larger the range of vision, the faster the reactions can be made. * The Great Wall is also use to communication between the army units in different barracks along it. When there comes the enemy, the observation post detect the situation first will light a signal fire to alert other observation posts. And signal fire will be lighted one by one on the nearest watchtower, until the whole garrison get the message. A soldier below the Great Wall cannot do this quickly. Hence, it is better for soldiers to garrison on the Great Wall than below it.

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.

One lasting impact of the Great Wall of China was that it brought fear to any one who would threaten China. The wall protected the people of China and helped them defend the country against an invasion by the Manchu in 1600.

In Chinese history, the Great Wall played an important role in preventing the central plain from nomadic invasions. From that standpoint, it also deserves the adjective 'great' in its name.

The Great Wall of China, one of the greatest wonders of the world, was listed as a World Heritage by UNESCO in 1987. Just like a gigantic dragon, the Great Wall winds up and down across deserts, grasslands, mountains and plateaus, stretching approximately 8,851.8 kilometers (5,500 miles) from east to west of China. With a history of more than 2000 years, some of the sections are now in ruins or have disappeared. However, it is still one of the most appealing attractions all around the world owing to its architectural grandeur and historical significance.

It made the world a smaller place. And made it bigger at the same time.

The answer is "The Great Wall of China impacted the world very slowly," since the verb impact really means "to run into something, or to hit it." Slow building, laying a few bricks at a time.

If you meant "How did the Wall affect the world?" the answer is "Only symbolically," as all such efforts do, being a sign to its enemies that the State was weak and a reminder to its people that the State was heartless.
