WHAT IF… Chinese explorers had landed in the Americas first?
Centuries before Europe did, China had great technology. They had printing and gunpowder, compass, which meant they could navigate without relying on the position of the Moon. Furthermore, they were brilliant shipbuilders, which went hand in hand with their other talent: exploration.
In 1405, a Chinese explorer called Zheng He went on a journey. The idea of it was to create new trade routes for China. On his first trip he took 28,000 men in 62 ships.
Zheng He brought home from India many things that were new to the Chinese: plants, animals, even people. Zheng He made seven westward journeys. If he had continued to explore, he would probably have reached the Americas before Columbus and the Europeans. However, for political reasons, China stopped exploring. Its leaders believed that China did not need to trade with other nations, so the country became isolated.
Now, let’s imagine Zheng He had reached the Americas before others did. What would have happened? He would have seen the incredible size of the country and the treasures in the ground. He probably would have returned with more men and maybe have gone to war with Native Americans to steal their land. If the Chines had won, they would have become richer. The new Chinese colony would have expanded.
Would China have created the next great empire if their explorers had landed in the Americas before others? We will never know.
