Why did the
Chinese, unlike Europeans, withdraw
|
|
|
from overseas
expansion?
|
|
|
|
q |
The small
nation-states of Europe, aggressively competing
|
|
with their
neighbors, made more efficient use of their
|
|
|
resources.
|
|
|
|
q |
European
technological innovations gave them an
|
|
|
advantage in
animal and machine power that helped
|
|
|
overcome overall
Chinese superiority.
|
|
|
|
q |
One answer to
the differing approaches can be seen in the
|
|
attitudes of the
groups in each society favoring expansion.
|
|
|
|
q |
There was wide
support in general European society for
|
|
|
increasing
national and individual wealth through
|
|
|
successful
expansion.
|
|
|
|
