The middle ages

The Ming Dynasty is founded in China.

1368 BCE

The Ming dynasty (1368–1644) arose following a series of natural disasters that hit China during the early and middle 1300s, adding to the misery of a people under the harsh rule of the Mongol Yuan dynasty (1279–1368). In 1368 rebel armies—led by Zhu Yuanzhang (1328–1398)—overthrew the Yuan, and Zhu established a dynasty he named Da Ming. The only emperor in China’s long history to have been born to a peasant family, Zhu had been orphaned early in life.
