A Time of Change
1400-1600
The years 1400-1600 are were countries all around the world changed. In Asia, China was in their powerful Ming Dynasty period, under the ruler Yong Le. In Korea, the great King Sejong started to invent new things that brought Korea’s life today much more easier. In Europe, they had their renaissance, which is the rebirth of ancient Greek, and Rome.

After Zheng He had died, China got rid of all papers that had to do with his voyages; China had also banned people from making large ships. In my opinion, the world now would be way different if China continued the voyages, because China could have discovered new lands like the America.

One of the most important thing that he invented was The Hangul writing because before Korea had to use Chinese to write, and writing in Chinese is very hard, but with the new style of writing called Hangul, Koreans now can write much faster and it is way simpler than Chinese writing. Korea had also invited many other things like the...
