RE: ADSactly World - Runnin' The Border

in #travel7 years ago

It would be cool if you could get some drone footage of the wall so we could really see the extent of its size. I'm sure the Chinese were torn about the wall too, they just didn't have social media to complain and argue about it on a mass scale. Plus im sure it created plenty of work/jobs for them at the time, not that im sure it was paid for labour

Sort:  

The wall was built by slaves, and it's estimated that millions died to build it.

The Chinese were using the wall to fend off the Great Mongol Empire. China was the smaller empire. Eventually, it was incorporated into the Mongol empire, which extended from eastern Europe to the Korean peninsula.

If Mexico had a wall to prevent invasion by the US, it would be serving a similar purpose.

However, the US already has a lot of control over Mexico. Many of the presidents were educated in the US, or worked for American corporations.
