THE MING VOYAGESTHE MING VOYAGES• Ming emperor Yongle sent out Zheng He on
voyages throughout the region on huge ships (junks)
• Then the Ming ended the explorations and destroyed the fleets; this prevented the Chinese from becoming a colonizing power and led to their isolationism (which will eventually lead to their being dominated by other powers)
![Page 9: AP TEST REVIEW Session 4 1450 – 1750 C.E](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5681321a550346895d98794c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
