The primary reason the Chinese rebuilt the Great Wall in the 1400s was to keep out Mongolian invaders from the north. During this period, the Ming Dynasty recognized the continuing threat posed by Mongolian tribes and sought to strengthen defenses against potential invasions. The construction and reinforcement of the Great Wall were strategic responses to ensure the security of the Chinese heartland.
