Polo was the 17 year old son of an Italian merchant who went to China with his father and uncle. It took them 4 years to get there and he stayed 25 before returning to Venice. He wrote a book about his adventures that influenced explorers 200 years later. When he came home he brought back silks, perfumes, spices, and gunpowder. The gunpowder will change the shape of war and the balance of power.
Why did the sons of liberty destroy the tea party?
They destroyed the tea in protest of the Tea Act. This act required the colonists to exclusively purchase tea from the British West Indies Company. This angered the colonists because they could not purchase tea from other countries for better quality or price.
What goods did Marco polo find in China?
He was his advisor in china....did things for Kublai KhanBy contrast, the Mongol empire presented for a brief time in the thirteenth century a model of unity. A loose federation of separate nomadic tribes in most times, the Mongols were a rough, horseback riding, yurt-dwelling barbarian group that had carried a dream of greatness until consolidation under Genghis (Chinggis) Khan. The word khan means ruler, so the name meant Ruler Genghis. Under his leadership the Mongols forged a new empire, which reached from the Pacific to the Mediterranean, the Arctic to the Persian Gulf. Genghis died in 1227 before he could realize his dream of conquest of the world. If it had not been for the death of his successor in 1241, the Mongols would probably have conquered Europe, and the history of western civilization would have been very different.By the time of Kubilai a significant change had occurred in the Mongol leaders. Each successor to Genghis had been influenced by the regions he controlled. To the west, the ruler of Persia resembled the Persian shah; in the north, the ruler was Russian; in the east, Kubilai was under the sway of the great civilization he long had battled, the Chinese of the Sung. Chung kuo, the "Middle Kingdom" or China, was the most splendid civilization of its time, outshining even Persia and the Ottoman Empire, and certainly outdistancing poor, divided Europe. Kubilai had moved his capital from the ancient tribal headquarters of Karakorum in the Gobi Desert to the Chinese city of Peking (Marco Polo's Cambulac or Khan Bhalik, meaning "The City of the Emperor"). This change signified the increasing Chinese influence over the khan, for by this time Kubilai regarded himself not as a nomadic barbarian but as a civilized, elegant Chinese gentleman. True, he still had a hunting tent like Genghis Khan's made of leopard skin, but its inside was trimmed with ermine and sable. Like Genghis he had a pleasure house which was also a tent, but its roof was made of gilded bamboo and its tent poles were painted with Chinese dragons. And his palace was magnificent, as Marco Polo described. The Chinese were famous for their ability to absorb their conquerors who tried, in ancient times, to emulate Chinese culture. Kubilai Khan was one example of this.Before Marco Polo returned and set down his memoirs, most Europeans were ignorant of the great civilizations to their east. The Chinese, for their part, called themselves the center of the earth, or chung-kuo. Other than establishing trade contacts and securing the defense of their borders, they had little interest in dealing with other peoples and scornfully labeled them all "barbarians."It was through the eyes of Marco Polo that many Europeans first learned about those civilizations to the east, and his book was popular in his own time and for centuries thereafter. Other explorers in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, the "age of exploration," all confessed that they were inspired by the great world Polo had described. Two hundred years after Marco Polo, another Italian seaman, Christopher Columbus, carried a well-worn copy of Polo's travels when he set out west for a new route to the fabled Indies. Let us now turn to the world Marco Polo saw, and let him tell us about the marvelous civilizations to which he journeyed.BIBLEOGRAPHY!answeres by me, and afe.easia.columbia.edu
