Well, depending upon your definition of biggest, if you mean longest, it might be the first time your researchers are in error. I thought it was commonly known that the dingo proof fence in Australia is the longest fence in the world. Admittedly, you might just be using the title as a'turn off phrase'. An equally relevant admission is that I don't have time to watch the video now, and you may have acknowledged in it that the great Wall is not the last fence in the world.

The Manchu's didn't just broke the wall per se lol. The general in charge of a section of the wall, Wu Sangui opened the gate for the Manchu because the Ming Dynasty at that point had lost the mandate of heaven. The rebels (not allied with the Manchu) broke into the capital city and the Emperor committed suicide. Wu Sangui at that time is faced with enemies from both sides so he chose to allied with the Manchu to get rid of the rebels. The wall serves some very strategic purposes. Since most nomads fight on horseback using hit and run tactics, the walls prevented them from raiding deeper into the settlements.

A few things about the wall: 1. The actual purpose of Ming wall is not blocking the raiders, rather it is meant to slow down the raiders. The wall in quite a few parts are not connected but rather built on some key gaps between mountain range. The real purpose of the wall was served as scout towers that can easily sending signals to other posts notifying them of incoming threats. Troops on the wall are not meant to defend against the raiders but rather to chase after them once they pass through the wall. 2. The current design of the wall has a prototype in Zhejiang province. General Qi experienced the wall building against Japanese pirates. 3. The west end of the wall gate's original design was a thing of genius but never built as planned due to the budget crisis of Ming. It was supposedly be a maze like gate which will force anyone in-and-out take extra long steps to get around it meanwhile giving time for guards setting up their defensive positions.

Fun fact- The Qing never managed to get through the Great Wall. The Ming already fell to Li Zicheng's Shun. The general guarding the section against the Manchus, Wu Sangui, was being attacked by Li Zicheng and had to ask the Manchus to help him. Prince regent Dorgon's Chinese advisors urged him to seize the opportunity to claim the Mandate and march to Beijing under pretext "to avenge the previous emperor". Wu Sangui allied with the Manchu and opened the gate into China proper. The Great wall did manage to repel both the Manchus and the rebel Shun. It just didn't save the Ming from internal collapse.

Xian was the western capital and that's also why Tokyo means eastern capital in Chinese. Also. Southerners don't like northerners largely because the north treated the south like barbarians who needed to be regularly suppressed. In response rebellions rose from the south. Sun Yat Sen being the most famous. He hailed from the southern city of Xiangshan which was later named Zhongshan in his honor. His rebellion laid the foundation of the republic of China but after the communist victory his party fled to Formosa now Taiwan and became the founding political party of thst Island nation, the Kuomintang

Another reason why emperor Qin decided to engage in the project was to send all the POWs and young able men from the other six states he'd just conquered to work, so they don't overthrow him (though it did not succeed). Its usefulness is wildly understated here though. In the pre-wall era, nomads (Xiongnu) from the north would come and go to pillage Chinese cities on their horsebacks as they wish. With a wall in their way, their routes would be limited and can be more efficiently defended. Even in the case the Xiongnu decide to take strenuous route around the wall, the watch towers would be able to warn the regional army command to mount an counter offensive. It's hard to tell how much bloodshed had actually been prevented due to the wall. Peace and prosperity the wall brought to the Chinese civilization is unimaginable.
