Question

question 8 of 23 which of the following statements best describes the approach of chinas emperors to international exchange during the early years of the ming dynasty? a. they built up a massive military to influence governments around the world. b. they created huge amounts of wealth by building relationships with american empires. c. they spread the philosophy of neo - confucianism by sending missionaries to europe. d. they isolated themselves from the influence of and exchange with other nations.

Explanation:

In the early - Ming dynasty, China under Zheng He's voyages actively engaged in international exchange, not isolation. There was no significant military - building to influence world governments, no relations with American empires as the Americas were not a major factor in Ming international affairs, and no sending of Neo - Confucian missionaries to Europe. The Ming emperors promoted trade and cultural exchange through grand maritime expeditions.

Answer:

None of the above options are correct. But if we had to choose the least incorrect among them, none truly fit the historical reality. However, the Ming did not isolate themselves as stated in D, did not build a military for world - influence as in A, there were no relations with American empires as in B, and no missionary efforts to Europe for Neo - Confucianism as in C.
