notes for golden age of china

china has great agriculture due to two rivers that flooded

china felt it was center of world due to inventions (paper, gunpowder, etc.), didn't trade much

mongols were more mobile, ate meat, traded

Mongols defeated China, open China to trade (was know as golden age)

early 14th, when China becomes free, they send Zheng He to see if there is anything out in other countries to trade, in the end, they felt they had everything, keep to themselves

Other countries passes China, Britain goes to war with China, B wins due to better ideas

P.C for 4-12-13
