24 Ming China (World History before 1500) |
|
In this section of the world history course, we've been focusing on medieval Asia c. 1200-1500 AD, with a special focus on the Mongols.
On the program today: the dynasty that toppled the Mongol rulers of China, the Ming (1368-1644), especially the founder of that dynasty (Hongwu) and the emperor who sponsored fantastic voyages of exploration (Yongle). (Contains brief references to eunuchs). |
