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.
