Modern Day Connection Chapter 14- Zheng He
When Zheng He was sailing around the Indian Ocean, he shared informed other countries of China. This made more countries aware of China, potentially causing Marco Polos journey to explore China. Marco Polo went back and shared about the wonders of China, causing other people to try to sail there. Christopher Columbus tried to sail there, but accidentally found America which led to Pilgrims traveling there. If Zheng He had not traveled around, we might not have The America we have today. -

MDC- Chapter 16- Aztec canals

MDC-18- Magna Carta
When the Magna Carta was signed in 1215, it made the king follow a set of rules concerning his leadership. The Magna Carta said that people could not be thrown in jail without a fair trial, so many people who were falsely accused got out. This impacted today because there are many documents that restrict the leaders power and give the people certain rights. -
MDC-Chapter 21- Montesquieu
Charles-Louis Montesquieu came up with the idea of a government with 3 different branches, that all function to govern a country. This is the current type of gorvernment that America has. In Montesquieus government, the power is separated so one person in the government does not have as much power as he/she would have in a monarchy. Without Montesquieus ideas,America wouldn’t have the type of government they have today. -

MDC-19-Renaissance
The Renaissance allowed many famous artists to develop famous pieces of art that are still famous today. William Shakespeare created hundreds of plays and poems that can still be seen today. Without the Reanaisance, it would mean we would not have many pieces of art that we have today. -
MDC- Chapter 20- Galileo
Galileo was important during his time because he made experiments to test his theories. This way, he could find out if he was right or wrong, and correct humself. The other scientists of that time didn’t really use experiments to learn, so Galileo inspired other scientists to do the same. Scientists today use the Scientific Method to create and experiment to test things.
