SHI HUANGDI, first emperor of Chin dynasty erected the largest
portion of The Great wall as a defense against raids by nomadic
peoples. Systematic work on the wall was begun about 221 B.C., after
Shi Huuangdi had united China under his rule, and it was finished
about 204 B.C. Small sections of the wall were already in existence,
he is supposed to have had some nearly 1,200 miles of the wall created
during his reign.
