MQ#5 In what ways did European maritime voyaging in the fifteenth century differ from that of China? What accounts for these differences?
- european fleets were WAY smaller
- europeans voyaged for the wealth of Africa and Asia (gold,spices,silk)
- europeans also were motivaed by the chance to expand the crusade like conversion process
- China had no equivalent opposing power and neede no military allies
- chinese fleet didn't conquer or colonize, europeans did both violently
- China ended their maritime voyaging abruptly as Europe continued which led to Europe's future dominance
- Zheng He and the voyagers didnt have a lot of support in China (especially not after Emperor Yongle died), while Europe had a budding community of merchants that the populations supported
- China had a strong belief in their own superiority so much that they believed foreign states should bring things to them (tribute system)
- Europe wanted an advantage in the divide between Christianity and Islam
