Dropped literally everything I was doing to watch this.

That was fascinating - particularly the details of the ships, routes sailed and at 4:48 about the Galle Trilingual Inscription (cf. the Rosetta Stone). Very clear to follow and nicely presented with the map (one nit-pick: the caption reads "dynasy"). Sad that the archives were destroyed or lost but other documentary sources must survive. How much of the story told here is speculation? Great history channel: keep up the good work :)

Also, romans only got to Sub-Saharan Africa indirectly with expeditions from their presence in North Africa. In that sense, is totally different than the chinese exploration by Sea. What Chinese exploration? They had a +3500 vessels fleet at its peak, with some vessels having 120m in length. For comparison, Columbus vessels were of 19m long.

As a Chinese, I think there are two reasons why China did not become a colonialist like Britain or Spain. First, at that time, China as a whole was richer and had more resources, so it did not expect to try to gain more benefits by colonial means. Secondly, China was an agrarian civilization, which was characterized by a lack of adventurous spirit and a desire to live by the sky, so it lacked the spirit of pioneering. And Zheng He's voyage to the West was just a coincidence, the purpose was to promote trade, not colonization. In the West, on the contrary, Magellan, who was almost a hundred years behind China, changed the world, not China.

@@xggong8261 The whole "richer and had more resources" its really a weak argument since to colonize u actually need to have resources, manpower, money in general. Scotland couldnt afford their colonies for example so the whole "Europe conquered the world because it was poor" is a very false statement. By the 15th century (1400s forward) Western Europe ,in my opinion and other historians opinions, became the most advanced region in the world. China couldnt make full plate armor they just didnt have the skills to do it, China couldnt produce the masterpiece arts of the Norther Italians Republics (I very much doubt that the average chinese lived better than the average Venetian in the 1400s for example) and Cathedrals with more than 100 meters in height(way more taller and impressive buildings than others in the East)
