Posted by Matt in June 10th, 2008

The First World War: Global War [3 / 10]
In 1914, war for Europe meant war for the world. "Global War" tells the extraordinary story of how Germany tried to open the war up around the world, and how Britain might risk everything to protect her Empire - even victory on the Western Front. "Global War" is packed with untold stories of the glory days of maverick warfare. Admiral Graf von Spee of the East Asiatic squadron inflicted Britain's greatest naval defeat for 250 years: the Battle of Coronel.

But the war in Africa mercilessly exploited its black...

Chinese Civilization中华文明7-5Sui and Tang Dynasties厚德载物
Seaports and maritime trade Figurine of a foreign merchant of the Tang Dynasty, 7th century.Chinese envoys had been sailing through the Indian Ocean to India since the 2nd century BC,[64][65] yet it was during the Tang Dynasty that a strong Chinese maritime presence could be found in the Persian Gulf and Red Sea, into Persia, Mesopotamia (sailing up the Euphrates River in modern-day Iraq), Arabia, Egypt, Aksum (Ethiopia), and Somalia in East Africa.[66] From the same Quraysh tribe of Muhammad, Sa'd ibn Abi-Waqqas sailed from Ethiopia to China during the reign of Emperor Gaozu. He later traveled back to China with a copy of the Quran, establishing China's first mosque, the Mosque of Remembrance, during the reign of Emperor Gaozong.

Gigant der Meere p.5 - Admiral Zheng He (1371-1433)
Little did the famous Muslim geographer, Ibn Battuta know, that about 22 years after his historic visit to China, the Mongol Dynasty (called the Yuan Dynasty in China) would be overthrown. The Ming Dynasty (1368 - 1644) would begin. A Muslim boy would help a Chinese prince. That prince would become emperor and the boy would grow up to be the "Admiral of the Chinese Fleet." His name... Zheng He. The ships that he would sail throughout the Indian Ocean would retrace some of the same routes taken by Ibn Battuta, but he would be in huge boats called "junks". He would go to East Africa, Makkah, Persian Gulf, and throughout the Indian Ocean. Speak of the world's first navigators and the names Christopher Columbus or Vasco da Gama flash through a Western mind. Little known are the remarkable...
