Answer 1

The primary purpose of the Great Wall was to keep out nomads to the north. While the wall also served various other functions over its history, such as marking borders and facilitating trade in certain contexts, its main goal was defensive, aimed at protecting Chinese states and empires from invasions and raids by nomadic groups.
