When the Great Wall of China was built, particularly during the Qin Dynasty (221-206 BCE) and later dynasties, the primary threats perceived by the Chinese were nomadic tribes from the north, especially the Xiongnu. These tribes were known for their skilled horsemanship and raids into Chinese territory, prompting the construction of defensive fortifications. The Great Wall served as a barrier against invasions and a means to control trade and migration along the Silk Road. Over time, various other groups, including the Mongols, also posed significant threats.
