Türkiye, the Russian Empire, and Ming China
by Compiled By The National Geographic Society
About This Novel
After the decline of the Mongol Empire, the three great empires of the East began to rise. The Turkish Ottoman Empire was another chapter in the history of the Islamic world opened up by the conversion of Asians to Islam; the Russian Empire inherited both European and Asian political traditions; and the Ming Empire, whose authoritarian political system would determine many of the characteristics of modern China. This book uses a historical perspective that transcends Eurocentrism to conduct a horizontal comparison of these three empires from the 15th to the 17th century. They provide a grand comparative perspective under the governance model of multilingual and multiethnic countries, thereby exploring another dynamic force and variables that shape the modern world.
