How Did The Ming Voyage
Third Quarter Project: Ming Voyages Research Paper
The voyages of the Ming dynasty have gone down in history as one of the single largest naval expeditions ever assembled. Throughout history, and even today, effects of the voyages have had an impact on the world. Whether it be revolutionary technology, or a never before seen level of determination, the Ming's voyages would alter the course of history forever and begin to supplant the importance of naval dominance. Over a period of 28 years, Ming commander Zheng He led a series of conquests that would be crucial in expanding China’s borders and revolutionizing maritime trade and exploration until the days of Christopher Columbus.

And since post-WW2 America would not tolerate the rise of communist expansion, they naturally sided with the south. Now, two powers with opposing ideology had their hands in a conflict, and the tension between China and the United States is present today. Also, Chinese expeditions to Japan left a bad taste in the mouth in the Japanese. The tension between those two nations is also present
