• As in the previous chapter, this time period witnessed a tremendous growth in long-distance trade due to improvements in technology. Trade through the Silk Road, the Indian Ocean, the trans-Saharan trade route, and the Mediterranean Sea led to the spread of ideas, religions, and technology. During the period known as Pax Mongolia, when peace and order were established in Eurasia due to the vast Mongol Empire, trade and cultural interaction were at their height.…
The Silk Road is a series of trade routes that exchanged both goods and cultural influences in and around the Asian continent. Silk was the most important good that was traded in this route because of its rarity and beauty. In addition, cotton, paper making, textiles, gunpowder, and spices were important goods traded as well. Religion was the most important and influential cultural exchange in this trade route. The spread of Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all spread across Eurasia and were also tied to certain religious communities. In the Indian Ocean, the use of the Monsoons helped the Indian empires grow both economically and in their population size. Urbanization took place in Delhi and large port cities that developed them economically. Incense and horses were introduced from Arabia and Southwest Asia, while goods such as gold, ivory, and slaves came from East Asia. A change that…
While some differences between second wave empires and river valley societies are noticeable, the similarities are far more pronounced. In comparison to the initial civilizations discussed in chapter two, the second wave empires were much larger and significantly more powerful. However this is nothing special because through much of history, empires and political organizations grew continuously stronger and held more authority, parallel to the development and understanding of humans. In contrast, second wave empires maintained many of the traits of the initial such as the practice of monarchs, patriarchy,…
Buddhism and Confucianism were the main religious views in the Indian Ocean region. They both flourished initially keeping a stable ratio, but Buddhism began to diminish during the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty based their civil service exams on Confucianism, which as a result led to more focus on Confucianism and later to the downfall of Buddhism. Interactions between developing trade routes led to city popularity, wealth and success. Such cities include, Cairo, Quilon, and Melaka, which became major factors in Afro-Eurasian trade. Technology in the region also led to many different changes in the Indian Ocean region. The three-field crop rotation rapidly changed the rise of cities. Since they were now able to grow dissimilar crops in the same area, more food and trade products came about. As urbanization increased, simultaneously, rural areas increased system also played a big role. As cities grew, they began to prosper. Agriculture boomed and therefore more opportunities for merchants were available as trade was excellent in the area. Many significant transitions and alterations occurred in the Indian Ocean region, which encouraged, primarily, economics, religion, and city success.…
The rise of the West from the fifteenth and eighteenth centuries involved distant explorations and conquests resulting in a heightening and redefining of relationships among world societies. During the classical era, larger regional economies and culture zones had developed, as in the Chinese Middle Kingdom and the Mediterranean basin, but international exchanges were not of fundamental importance to the societies involved. During the postclassical period, contacts increased and were more significant. Missionary religions—Buddhism and Islam—and trade influenced important changes. The new world relationships after 1450 spelled a new period of world history. The Americas and other world areas were joined to the world network, while older regions had increased contacts. Trade became so significant that new relationships emerged among societies and prompted reconsideration of existing political and cultural traditions.…
Although the silk road and the Indian ocean trading network both diffused religions,technology,and the transfer of goods. However the silk road supported a strong state for defenses, primarily traded in luxury goods that did not benefit the common man, different religions diffused on each of the trade networks as well. The indian ocean network on the other hand dealt in the trade of bulk goods such as timber and spice’s. The indian ocean network was also never controlled by one large group. The Indian ocean network was often not considered a relay trade where one group gave the goods and the other side received them,but on the silk road the trade was continued one group gave goods to another and then they traded that for something else with…
One first point that Strayer makes is that the new and different third-wave civilizations interacted with one another much more extensively and those interactions held a greater value in the new era. This relates to Key Concept 3.1.VII: Expansion & Intensification of Communication & Exchange Networks in that the new different civilizations had new methods of interacting with other civilizations and each of those methods had everlasting results. One example of this is how Europe gained knowledge of pepper and other various spices from the use of seaborne trade between Rome and India. Without the extensive trade/communication network, Europe wouldn't have gained knowledge of pepper and other spices for a much longer period of time.…

The Progressive Movement was an effort to cure many of the ills of the American society that came during the industrial growth and in the last quarter of the 19 century. The era began in 1890s and ended in 1920s. In the 1890s, the belief that getting involved with other counties was not good was slowly dissolving. America became a major world power because of its fast economic and social growth. So when Cuban rebels began a violent revolution against Spanish rule in 1895, and a mysterious explosion sunk the U.S.S. Maine in the Havana harbor, the U.S. entered into what diplomat John Hay called "a splendid little war" with Spain. Although the Spanish-American War ended relatively soon, issues over ownership of Spain’s oversea empire also had to be resolved also many Americans took an important role during the time.…
