The main purpose of the Great Wall of China was to keep out nomadic tribes, specifically the Mongols, from the north. It served as a defensive structure to protect Chinese territories from invasions and raids. The wall was not built to standardize Chinese roads or to make trade and transportation easier, although it did provide some control over trade routes passing through specific gateways along the wall.
