The Ming Dynasty: When the Dragon meets the Sea

Committee Description

In 1435, the world is astir: the Ming Dynasty’s mighty navy, undiminished, ventures into the Atlantic, challenging the European Age of Discovery with an audacious Eastern flair. The Iberian powers of Spain and Portugal, once unchallenged, now eye the dragon-emblazoned sails with wary respect. England’s emerging maritime force contemplates cunning alliances, as French ambitions in the New World face an unexpected player. Ming emissaries and Native American tribes exchange treasures and whispers of potential alliances, reshaping the North American frontier. The stage is set for an enthralling global dance of diplomacy, warfare, and exploration, where every move could rewrite history. In this thrilling alternate timeline, the oceans brim with possibility and the future is an uncharted map of wonder and intrigue.
