what dynasty completed the great wall of china?
qing
wall construction continued until the demise of the ming dynasty in 1644. in the decades that led to the fall of the ming dynasty, the ming court and the great wall itself had to deal with simultaneous internal rebellions and the manchu invasions. in addition to their conquest of liaodong, the manchus had raided across the great wall for the first time in 1629, and again in 1634, 1638, and 1642. meanwhile, the rebels led by warlord li zicheng had been gathering strength. in the early months of 1644, li zicheng declared himself the founder of the shun and marched towards the ming capital from shaanxi. his route roughly followed the line of the great wall, in order to neutralize its heavily fortified garrisons. the crucial defences of datong, xuanfu, and juyong pass all surrendered without a fight, and the chongzhen emperor hanged himself on 25 april as the shun army entered beijing. at this point, the largest remaining ming fighting force in north china was in shanhai pass, where the great wall meets the bohai sea. its defender wu sangui, wedged between the shun army within and the manchus without, decided to surrender to the manchus and opened the gates for them. the manchus, having thus entered through the great wall, defeated li zicheng at the battle of shanhai pass and seized beijing on june5. they eventually defeated both the rebel-founded shun dynasty and the remaining ming resistance, establishing their rule over all of china as the qing dynasty.
