looking at the number of walls, I'd say that it was a way for those in power to keep control over their people, it was not so much about protection from outsiders, but to control trade, and punish the undesirables or those that fought the system in the country --to their deaths.this made an example of them and put the fear into the majority to follow the laws of the empire or else.oh I'm sure the people thought that it was to secure the land, but there was much more to it.

@paradoxcap now the chinese got nuke, no asshole would try or even think attacking it without being bombed.

Okay; now after 15 parts of the video, what do we learn? We Chinese love peace. Whoever invades into the land, it would be a long, long, long trip for him.

@acatisfinetoowut A culture that embraces peace and harmony and has not had anything that could be considered a rival for centuries is bound to become static. I don't see the recent events as a fall. Sure they faced humiliation at the hands of foreigners, but it's not like it hasn't happened before. I see the events at the end of the 19th century and early 20th century as a readjustment to a new world view - a slightly difficult adjustment maybe, but far from disastrous.

The Qing dynasty pretty much fucked everything up. The barbaric Manchu rulers did not allow for much technological or cultural developement, The Manchus put China into a dark age while the West went through a total renaissance. China's fall started with the fall of the Ming as foreigners(Manchu, British, Japanese, American) came and ruled.
