I don’t own American Dragon but here goes
The World According to Zheng
(Jake and his friends are in History class were there teacher Mr. Thompson is teaching about the Ming dynasty everyone in the class is however asleep and bored.)
Mr.Thompson: The Ming is famous for its great Arts and culture but the real fascinating thing the exploration they did. You see 80 years before Columbus discovered America there was a man by Chinese man by the name of Admiral Zheng
(Suddenly everyone in class is interested, expet for Jake and Spud.Me.Thompson shows them a slide show first showing European ships, Then Slide’s it to the Chinese Ships, which are Giants!)
Trixie: Dang that’s big!
Mr.Thompson:Indeed Compared with European ships at the day, China’s Largest Vessels
Treasure Junks were giants, over 400 feet long and 160 feet wide these Leviathans were powered by Bamboo sails on nine masts that could set to any angle of the wind. (The Students amazed even Trixie was impressed but still Jake and Spud were lazy) there expeditions went from Indonesia to the Coasts of Africa, it’s a really amazing thing they had the largest navy in the world. If they had the mind of Exploring they could have colonized America instead of Europe, heck perhaps conquer Europe.
Jake: Well what happened? (Finally paying attention)
Mr.Thompson: Well Jake the the philosophers told The Emperor that it would be foolish to waste money on a fleet and Trade with “Barbarian’ nations and thought it would also bring Chaos to there nation. So he had the fleet burned and that was that.
The Ming failed to appreciate that expansion can create power and wealth, not chaos. It’s amazing to wonder how things would have turned out which reminds me I’ve decide for today instead I want you to write a two paper of what you think would have happened if They continued there expeditions (Bell rings) well that all the time we have for today this is due tomorrow have a nice rest of the day. (The class left)
Part two is coming soon its when they enter into The Alternate World
