Who invented naval mines?

The Chinese. The earliest naval mines were described by the early Ming Dynasty Chinese artillery officer Jiao Yu, in his 14th century military treatise known as the Huolongjing. In the West, during the 18th century American David Bushnell developed a practical mine, for use against the British in the American War of Independence.

Why did Zheng He want to travel?

Because he wanted to find treasureAnswer:He was sent by Emperor Yong Le because he wanted to trade with other kingdoms, show off their power, and he wanted to demand the weaker kingdoms to pay tribute.- The 7 Voyages. Other than that, it was part of his job. At the age of 11 he was captured by Ming troops and was made a eunuch (A man that has been *castrated. [removal of testicles-man or ovaries-women]). From there he used education to forget about his hardship and later assisted Prince Zhu Di, with military missions, who later became Emperor Yong Le who renamed Zheng (he was originally known as Ma He and then to Zheng). And later since he used his education skills, Yong Le appointed him to lead the 7 Voyages. ***Basically he was forced to travel as a LEADER, which he probably didn't mind because of how much he helped China to grow and it's what he studied as a kid.***


Where was the land mine invented?

The land mine has had a long history of invention. Many historians speculate that the Chinese under the Ming dynasty dabbled with mine-like technology in the 14th century around the time fireworks were invented in East Asia. But since China closed their borders off from the West this technology was largely ignored for years. Meanwhile, back in Europe many amateur inventors attempted to build a land mine for use in many new wars that were waged in the Baroque and Victorian eras. Pedro Navarro of Spain and Samuel Zimmerman of Prussia tried and failed to build land mines in the 16th and 17th centuries, this pre-mine was called a fougasse (French for shell-bomb), but because these weapons were cheap and highly inefficient; they not readily used by any European military force. The modern land mine was conceived by Confederate Gen. Gabriel J. Rains when he used this new technology in 1862 in the Battle of Yorktown against Union soldiers. Rains had already experimented with this weapon in the Seminole Wars in Florida in the 1840s as booby traps and to save on standard war material. This invention was patented and was later sold to other nations for a profit. The German Empire, in 1914, took this new weapon and advanced it further for its imperial endeavours. It was even modified in the Battle of the Somme for the new invention of poison gas with abhorring causitiles. Some international treaties banned land mines with yields that are too explosive for wartime purposes. However, the Soviet Union illegally experimented with nuclear land mines until the 1980s. And the Ottawa Treaty is in effect to dig up any lost mines throughout the world and dismantle them to protect the safety of free peoples everywhere, but the U.S. has not ratifyed this treaty yet. Land mines are a central weapon in modern warfare and countinues to be advanced by the militaries of the world.
