I attempted to answer margin question 4 (How would you define the achievements of Ming dynasty China?), which I interpreted as listing out some notable achievements mentioned in the chapter, but I'm not sure if that's correct, so tell me what you think

(for North America, we got rid of "Agriculture spread through European settlers," so ignore that.)

This is really a great study result. Think about it, it gives you a nice neat list to learn.

I agree with your differences, though it may seem like there are too few. However, we took our list of similarities from Strayer's initial statement in "European Comparisons: State Building and Cultural Renewal". Strayer mentions demographic recovery, political consolidation, cultural renewal, and overseas expansion. Would you agree?

I definitely agree! I think I included that in there with a more vague category, but the specificity is definitely important!

I like this BPQ. In what ways did European maritime voyaging in the fifteenth century differ from that of China? What accounts for these differences?

BTW, this is BPQ4: Looking Back: What would surprise a knowledgeable observer from 500 or 1000 C.E., were he or she to make a global tour in the fifteenth century? What features of that earlier world might still be recognizable? (compare/contrast world of 500-1000 C.E. to that of 1400 C.E.)

BPQ1: Assume for the moment that the Chinese had not ended their maritime voyages in 1433. How might the subsequent development of world history have been different? What value is there in asking this kind of “what if” or counterfactual question?

BinghamWelcome class of 2019. Some years students collaborate in this space effectively, some years not so much. One thing I know, collaboration significantly enhances learning. If you want access to my thoughts, this is the collaboration space to use. Most people propose an answer to margin questions, big picture question, or anything else related to managing Strayer. Other people can then comment leading to a stronger answer. I'll keep an eye on these pages, and pop in when I think you need me. Archives
