the vikings went on 13 expeditions! :)
The Zheng He expeditions visited Southeast Asia, South Asia, the Middle East, and East Africa. These regions included countries such as Indonesia, India, Sri Lanka, Saudi Arabia, and Kenya. Zheng He's voyages were intended to establish diplomatic relations and expand Chinese influence.

Zheng He
zheng he
The expeditions of Zheng He were cut short due to a combination of factors, including the death of the Yongle Emperor who supported the voyages, shifting priorities of the Ming Dynasty towards land-based defense, and domestic political concerns such as the cost of the expeditions. These factors led to the discontinuation of the Treasure Fleet voyages and a shift in focus towards strengthening China internally.
China sponsored Zheng He's explorations. Zheng He was a Chinese admiral and diplomat who led seven naval expeditions in the 15th century to establish Chinese dominance and expand trade in the Indian Ocean region.
