Chinese Isoltionism (mar 9, 1425 – may 11, 1434)

Description:

After Zheng He's voyages in the 15th century, the foreign policy of the Ming dynasty in China became increasingly isolationist. In Ming China, 1434, a proclamation was issued that forbade foreign trade. This ban included the stop of all building and repairing of Chinese junks. They banned foreign trade and they entered a period called Isolationism, which is a policy of avoiding contact with other countries. In the end, this isolationism had great consequences for China; in 1644 the Ming Dynasty was overthrown. 3,500 Naval ships were destroyed in the process.
