Zheng He DBQ Documents
More than 60 years before the voyages of Christopher Columbus, a Chinese admiral by the name of Zheng He ("jeng-heh") sailed the western seas from China to the east coast of Africa and other points in the Indian Ocean. The size of his treasure ships and the number of boats in his fleet were breathtaking. The distances he sailed were greater than any recorded before that time. Despite this, the voyages of Zheng He were barely known to the world until recent years. This DBQ asks if he deserves better.
