In the following forum, discuss the reasons for and logistics of these voyages and engage in a bit of alternative History. What could the early modern world possibly have looked like if the Ming had not withdrawn back within the Chinese mainland?
There are two parts to this assignment. The first is to describe the Ming voyages. The second is to speculate on how the continuation of the voyages might have changed world development
