The Ming Dynasty expanded primarily through military conquests and maritime exploration. Under emperors like Yongle, the dynasty launched campaigns to reclaim territories lost to the Mongols and to secure borders, particularly in the north and west. Additionally, the famous voyages of Admiral Zheng He between 1405 and 1433 established Chinese presence and influence in Southeast Asia, South Asia, and East Africa, promoting trade and diplomacy. This combination of military strength and maritime activity helped to extend Ming influence and secure its position in regional geopolitics.
