Winter Packet: Zheng He

Due at the end of

class

Eunuchs: Someone

who worked for the royal

familyMa He Zheng He has wealth

& power

-7 voyages; 25 years-Pacific & Indian Oceans-largest fleet of wooden shipsReason for voyages:1. explore new lands2. Trade relationships3. Show the world China’s greatness (brag)

Tribute: gifts

Emissaries: spokesperson

After Zheng He:

-took apart the fleet-destroyed the recordsVoyages were

a mistake:-China did not need to trade & interact with other peoples

Columbus discovers

America 60 years later

-European colonialism-Spanish armada undefeated-$$$

Based on the scale (size), skill, and significance, should we celebrate the

voyages of Zheng He?

Colonialism: getting

control of another country

Columbus = 1492

Voyages 1, 2, & 3 were back-to-back

4,600+ miles/year5,800+ miles/year6,300+ miles/year9,000 miles/year9,500 miles/year

Voyages became more efficient Longer distances in less time

Positive Legacy

Legacy: How are they

remembered?What are they remembered

for?

This was the question for #2. Were the voyages of Zheng He military expeditions, trade expeditions, or both? Use evidence from the document to support your argument.
