I had this question on my test but I don’t remember lol but use Socratic
Portugal with arrival of Columbus in 1492
Possibly, though I can't really say.
The Song Dynasty practiced Buddhism whereas the Tang banned the religion and persecuted those who followed it during the later time of their ruling. The Tang Dynasty also had expanded their empire and even reformed civil service. The Tang expanded and conserved their power by establishing tributary states. They had a stronger more powerful military when compared to the Song. The Song Dynasty ruled a smaller empire during their time that primarily relied on sea power. Their military power was weaker than what the Tang Dynasty’s was.
