Synopsis
Describes the internal building and external explorations by the Ming dynasty after the recovery of China for the Chinese (1368 to 1644 A.D.). Maritime exploration reached its height with voyages as far east as the coast of Africa, but the period was a watershed, marking the beginning of China's decline and the rising vigor of the West. Manchus, invited into the country to help quell a rebellion, remained to establish the Ch'ing dynasty
