Ancient & Medieval China (4)
Over the course of the unit, we will be going through different sections of the textbook in class. Whenever we start a reading, the questions will be due the next day and there will be a reading checkpoint made available after school for homework (unless there are other instructions). The attached Google Forms correspond to a specific topic/lesson in the textbook.
The Mongol and Ming Empires
Throughout its history, China has had to protect its borders from invaders, often tribal nomads. A nomad is a person who moves from place to place at different times of the year. These nomads sometimes raided Chinese cities or even formed armies to invade China. In the 1200s, one of these peoples, the Mongols, conquered China and many other lands.
