Ming

Exploration

Emerging from the shadow of Mongol-dominated Yuan, the Ming turned inward, revitalizing Han traditions and fortifying Chinese infrastructure and economy. The Ming dynasty saw expansions and improvements to the Great Wall, the installation of a tributary system that bolstered defense and dependency, and Ming goods becoming the most desired commodities in the global market. But when silver sources collapsed, unpaid Ming vassals rebelled, leading to the rise of the Manchu-dominated Qing.
