Marco Polo was born in 1254 in the Venetian Republic. At the time, Venice was
the centre of the VenetianRepublic. Marco Polo was only 17 years old when he,
his father, Niccolo and his uncle, Maffeo, decided to go to China. It was Pope
Gregory X who sent them to visit Kublai Khan who was the emperor of China at
that time. During their visit there, Marco Polo told Kublai Khan many stories about
different lands and the emperor liked them so much that he gave Marco a job,
sending him on different diplomatic missions. He was also made the governor of
Yangzhou, an important trading city. Later Marco Polo went back to the Venetian
Republic and he talked about his experience in China. Only few people truly
believed his stories. In 1298 he went to jail during a war between Genoa and
Venice and while being there, he dictated all his stories about his experiences in
China to another man in jail. The stories became a book, ‘The Travels of Marco
Polo’ and each chapter covered a specific region of China, telling about the
military, farming, religion and culture of that particular area. Marco Polo got out
of prison in 1299 and he went back to Venice to join his father and his uncle. In
1300 he got married and had three children. Marco Polo died in 1324 when he
