Did the Chinese Discover America?

Did the Chinese Discover America?

This is an interesting and controversial reading for many people because no everybody knows about this story.

Gavin Menzies who is a retired British submarine commander an amateur historian has written a book: The Year the Chinese Discover the World (2002) describing Zheng`s sixth voyage.

According to menzies, the chinese explored Australia 350 years before Captain Cook,circle the world and arrived on american shores 71 years before Christopher Columbus.

The commander of the imperial fleet was the remarkable Zheng He, he is described as a tall and , powerful with the stride of a tiger and a clear  vibrant voice.

Zheng  He was the person who made the expedition of trade and diplomacy to exchange goods different to Christopher Columbus who made journeys to discover new places.

I think if this story was true, the teachers in the school have to teach us it, but they dont do it, is for tha reason i don`t believe it I think  it is only a theory.
