Great Wall of China, fortifications, c.1,500 mi (2,400 km) long, winding across N China from Gansu prov. to Hebei prov. on the Yellow Sea. The wall, running mostly along the southern edge of the Mongolian plain, was erected to protect China from northern nomads. It is an amalgamation of many walls built in ancient times; the first unified wall was built in the 3d cent. B.C. by the Ch'in dynasty. Laborers were conscripted from all over China to build it, and many of them died during the project. The wall's present form dates substantially from the Ming dynasty (1368–1644). It averages 25 ft (7.6 m) in height and is 15 to 30 ft (4.6–9.1 m) thick at the base, sloping to 12 ft (3.7 m) at the top. Guard stations and watchtowers are placed at regular intervals. The eastern part of the wall is earth and stone faced with brick, but in the west it is merely an earth mound. Successive invasions of China from the north demonstrated that the Great Wall had little military utility. Since 1949 two sections N of Beijing have been reconstructed and are open to visitors.

Old history, but if the Chinese was not challenged in Korea, you would be living the a very communistic world.  Of course since democracy stood up and faced communism, now even communism has almost disappeared and replaced by capitalism.

China (simplified Chinese: 中国, Traditional Chinese: 中國, pinyin: Zhōngguó; listen (help·info)) is a geographical region in East Asia and Central Asia. With over one-fifth of the world's population, the majority of China exists today as a state known as the People's Republic of China, but it also refers to a long-standing civilization comprising successive states and cultures dating back more than 4,000 years.\n\nWith one of the world's longest periods of mostly uninterrupted civilization and the world's longest continuously used written language system, China's history has been largely characterized by repeated divisions and reunifications amid alternating periods of peace and war, and violent imperial dynastic change. The country's territorial extent expanded outwards from a core area in the North China Plain, and varied according to its changing fortunes to include multiple regions of East, Northeast, and Central Asia. (The term "China proper" is used by some observers and historians to describe the core territory historically home to the majority Han Chinese, as opposed to lands associated later with China such as what is now Xinjiang.) For centuries, Imperial China was also one of the world's most technologically advanced civilizations, and East Asia's dominant cultural influence, with an impact lasting to the present day.\n\nBy the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, however, China's political, economic, and military influence declined relative to the growing regional power of Japan and the influence of Western powers. The imperial system in China ended with the establishment of the Republic of China (ROC) under Sun Yat-sen in 1912; however, the next four decades of ROC rule were marred by warlord control, the Second Sino-Japanese War during which the Empire of Japan occupied large parts of China, and the Chinese Civil War which pitted Chinese Nationalists against the Communist forces.\n\nAfter its victory in the Chinese Civil War, the Communist Party of China under Mao Zedong established the People's Republic of China (PRC) in 1949, forcing the Nationalists to retreat and relocate the ROC government to the island of Taiwan, which it had governed since the end of World War II. Since then, the ROC has maintained administrative control over Taiwan, the Pescadores Islands, several islands off the coast of Fujian province including Kinmen and the Matsu Islands, and some islands in the South China Sea.\nShanghai, China's largest city\nEnlarge\nShanghai, China's largest city\nMount Tai in Shandong province\nEnlarge\nMount Tai in Shandong province\nContents\n[hide]\n\n    * 1 Terminology\n          o 1.1 "Zhongguo"--The Central Kingdom\n          o 1.2 "China"\n          o 1.3 "Cathay"\n    * 2 History\n    * 3 Chinese Pre-history\n    * 4 Political history\n    * 5 Territory\n          o 5.1 Historical overview\n          o 5.2 Historical political divisions\n          o 5.3 Geography and climate\n    * 6 Economy\n    * 7 Society\n          o 7.1 Demographics\n          o 7.2 Culture\n          o 7.3 Religion\n          o 7.4 Arts, scholarship, and literature\n          o 7.5 Science and technology\n    * 8 Miscellaneous topics\n    * 9 See also\n\n[edit]\n\nTerminology\n\n    Main article: Names of China\n\n[edit]\n\n"Zhongguo"--The Central Kingdom\nGeography of China and geographic region labels\nEnlarge\nGeography of China and geographic region labels\n\nChina is called zhong guo in Mandarin Chinese (Simplified: 中国, Traditional: 中國; also romanized as Jhongguo or Chung-kuo), which is usually translated as "Middle Kingdom."

THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA was built from the 3rd century BC until the beginning of the 17th century, in order to protect the various dynasties from raids by Hunnic, (Huns) Mongol, Turkic, and other nomadic tribes coming from areas in modern-day Mongolia and Manchuria. \n\nThese tribes were seen as invaders, not immigrants.\n\nThe difference between the Chinese and Mexican walls is very simple.  The immigrants illegally coming into the United States are not invaders.  They are coming in search of jobs.  They are not coming in armed with the purpose of invading and taking over the U.S. militarily.\n\nThe Chinese were faced with an entirely different situation.  The tribes mentioned above were trying to enter China for the purpose of invading the country militarily and taking it over.  They were not coming in search of jobs.

YOU NEED TO DO YOUR OWN HOMEWORK, but I'll do you a small favor....\n\nIn 1750, the world was known to be round.  In 1450, the world was widely and officially considered flat.\n\nNow, think of what historical incident brought about this change of thought.  You got it?  Good - now think about the fortunes of various peoples and nations WORLDWIDE that accrued from the historical incident you figured out.\n\nYou now have the makings of a brainstorm that will lead you to a theme, an outline, and an essay.
