How successful were china's walling projects in the north?

Very successful, it only failed because corrupt leaders were elected.

moderately, unless competent and loyal troops manned the walls they were pretty much useless. Often chinese troops there were neither.

The cost of keeping professional solders in the far north were great, so they would use local garrisons

Well, do you see any barbarians in China?

walls are fucking useless

they cost huge amounts to keep working (costs of guards are excessive) and all it takes is 1 ladder at night when someone isn't paying attention to bring the whole thing down
in the modern era they're even more pathetic
I'm surprised people actually think you can keep out drug cartels who have ruined entire countries just by putting up a shitty fence

Except it literally did you idiot. Israel had the balls to build that and it's a much safer country than it was before.

Not very well

I'm not biting on that one, no sir.

Unless the conditions favor the wall, it'll be shit at actually defending an area. For example, hadrians wall worked because it was in a choke point. Of course, both sides of the water too would need to be defended.

But more than anything, walls help to regulate commerce.

>>1973056
Well, no actually. Terrorism and illegal immigration in Israel is drastically down since the days before the wall.
