Read this passage. Then answer the question that follows

Some historians say that the Ming decision to end the voyages of Zheng He and destroy his fleet was a major turning point in world history. Zheng He had visited regions of the world long before European explorers ever dared to venture there. In fact, some historians suggest that had Zheng He’s journeys continued, he might have explored the Americas. China, not European nations such as Spain, Portugal, and Great Britain, might have been first to colonize and influence the New World.

Do you think Ming rulers should have ended the voyages of Zheng He? Write a 75- to 100-word paragraph to explain your opinion.

Answer 1

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The world-renowned sea voyages of the early Ming dynasty ceased entirely when they lost their purpose. Zheng He led seven large-scale voyages within a very short period because he had an additional political purpose: to search for the Jian Wen emperor, Zhu Yunjiu (1377-1402).How much benefit did the Ming receive from Zheng He's trips? The Yongle emperor sent Zheng He on voyages to impose imperial control over foreign trade with China. They also sent him to show foreign countries the power of the Ming Dynasty was. They created new trade with the new world and brought back foreign treasures.
