china sends huge fleets
italy's renaissance is strong
Aztecs build their civilizations in the middle of a lake
ottomans conquered Constantinople and call the Mediterranean their own
over 300 ships and 28k men
each voyage lasted 2 years, visiting 30 countries around the rim of the indian ocean
they reached as far as mecca, Zanzibar in the west, southern ocean in Australia (crazy)
Zheng He was the admiral / led the voyages, who was a Muslim / outsider
junks were giants compared to other ships, largest wooden ships ever built
over 40 ft long, 180 ft wide, powered by bamboo sails on 9 masts that could be set to any angle of the wind
compass room, admiral's quarters, and galley, cargo and animals resided under the crew
Checked latitude by measuring the angle of the sun and the stars
Zheng He's voyages marked the beginning and the end of china's voyages
1430 officials convinced emperor to abandon the voyage
His records were destroyed
combined this with gunpowder and sink proof sections of the ship, they were 500 years ahead (titanic)
overall at this time, the Chinese were advanced in instruments, tools, and tools (?) very related to sea trade
In other places, like India, Chinese, nets still hang (showing their influence)
