Question 2 on the Great Wall of China
Who were the type of people that had been chosen to build the Great Wall of China and why were those people chosen? Luckily, experts have given us the most credible answer. Three groups of people built the wall: soldiers, common people and criminals, not the emperors of each dynasty including Qin Shihuang himself. During the Qin Dynasty (221 - 207 BC), 20% of the country’s population was forced to build it. Many people died during its construction, due to the heavy work, a short time deadline and difficult conditions. In 221 B.C the current and first emperor of China Qin Shi Huang ordered construction of the Great Wall around, he had chosen a large group of soldiers and convicts to start construction on the great wall. It is said that as many as 400,000 people died during the time of the great wall's construction. Many of these workers were buried within the wall itself and may still remain there up to this day.
