Great article! I learned a lot about the Ming Dynasty from your article that I didn’t know before! It suprised me to learn that they had a weak army even through they were so stable and successful. Your article was well researched and a very interesting read. I also liked the images you put into your article. Thanks for the great article!

I can say their weak army was one of the ways this dynasty that seemed to know what it was doing chose wrong. Thank you for this enlightening piece.

I think you could branch off from this article to write an entirely different piece on what strategy China utilized in order to ensure they would not suffer nationwide epidemics. I wonder if other countries have used China, at that specific point in time, as a model on how to safeguard present day nations. I would be extremely interested in reading into this aspect of China’s history.

This was a good article. This was a topic that I had no prior knowledge of and I thought you did a good job of explaining what the Ming Dynasty was all about. After reading your article I feel like I have a good understanding of the topic so your article was successful in that sense. I thought the images you used could have been better, but overall a decent article.

I was always fascinated with the Ming Dynasty and I believe your article gave it justice. I loved that you went into detail on how and why the Ming Dynasty became the most successful. You also had a great time all throughout your article. I had no clue that they had a weak army which incredible to me and super shocking. Great job, I really enjoyed your article!

What stood out in the this article to me were the negative repercussions China faced by adopting an isolationist policy. I have previously researched Japan and found that they faced very similar consequences when their government closed off their borders. While learning that an island nation’s plan to close their borders backfired wasn’t shocking information to me, I was surprised to learn China dealt with similar problems. I did not expect the learn that the Ming Dynasty’s military faced food production problems, given the abundance of rivers and its access to the sea. Overall this article was very informative and an interesting read.

I had heard about the Ming dynasty but I did not know how big it actually was. It is amazing how advanced they were for their time. I especially thought that the tribute system was especially thought creative and innovative. It is sad that the dynasty ended due to not well thought out plans and a weak military. Though it ended it was part of one of the greatest eras.

Reading about this Chinese history is incredible as it is rich and interesting to compare it to how we think today. I do find it interesting about how the military struggled with food production given the geographical location of the place. It is little things like this that get often overshadowed in history so I think you did a great job of covering the highlights while also covering some other small topics. Great job!

This was a great article. I have never taken the time to really study Chinas different dynasties but our article has inspired me to look further into them. Even though the Ming dynasty was one of the most successful dynasties I find it strange they would have a stronger military especially since a strong military would help them establish hard power in the world.
