It took more than 1 million people and more than 10 years to finish the Great Wall which first began during the warring period of 476 - 221 B.C. At first the walls were built at some strategic points by different kingdoms to protect their own territories. Emperor Qin Shihuang, who was the first  of the Qin Dynasty to unified China in 221 B.C, decided to join the walls together and create one Great Wall.
