Mongols and in West Africa, Japan, and Southeast Asia.
C. New forms of coerced labor appeared, including serfdom in Europe and Japan and the elaboration of the mit’a in the Inca Empire. Free peasants resisted attempts to raise dues and taxes by staging revolts. The demand for slaves for both military and domestic purposes increased, particularly in central Eurasia, parts of Africa, and the eastern Mediterranean.
Teach one illustrative example of regions where free peasants revolted, either from the list below or an example of your choice:
• China
• The Byzantine Empire
D. The diffusion of Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, and Neoconfucianism often led to significant changes in gender relations and family structure.

Communication and Exchange
The interconnection of the Eastern and Western hemispheres made possible by transoceanic voyaging marked a key transformation of this period. Technological innovations helped to make transoceanic connections possible. Changing patterns of long-distance trade included the global circulation of some commodities and the formation of new regional markets and financial centers. Increased transregional and global trade networks facilitated the spread of religion and other elements of culture as well as the migration of large numbers of people. Germs carried

    The peasants suffered from numerous economic injustices. In Twelve Articles of the Swabian Peasants, peasant leaders bemoaned that the lords forced them to preform services without compensation (Doc2). From any perspective, many would conclude this practice to be forceful slavery, which strips the peasants from what little freedom they already possessed. Also, in the Articles of Peasants of Memmingen, the peasants indict the nobles of turning them into serfs (Doc 3). Serfdom restricts the peasants’ freedom to travel and settle where they so choose. Also, it exchanges a stable income for free housing and protection, as long as the individual remains on the noble’s property and works for free, which would be the antithesis to a peasants ideal life. Given that peasant leaders wrote both documents 2 and 3, it can be assumed that these articles were created with passion and are biased to bolster the extent of oppression delivered by their leaders (Pov 1 and 2). The peasants had a reason to feel exploited. In fact, they were forced to pay feudal dues, church…

    Spain acquired her America through many motives and events. The Treaty of Tordesillas was the key one, it was the agreement of anything west of Brazil was to Spain and east was to the Portuguese. They exhausted this treaty with imaginary north and south lines that explained spheres of importance. Successions of individual dominance took place rather than one big attack. Francisco Vazquez de Coronado led a voyage into what is now the United States in search of gold and Pedro de Valdivia dominated the Araucanian Indians of Chile and founded the city of Santiago.…

    1. Long-distance commerce acted as a motor of change in pre-modern world history by altering consumption and daily life. Essential food and useful tools such as salt were traded from the Sahara desert all the way to West Africa and salt was used as a food preserver. Some incenses essential to religious ceremonies were traded across the world because there was a huge demand for them. Trade diminished economic self-sufficiency by creating a reliance on traded goods and encouraged people to specialize and trade a particular skill. Trade motivated the creation of a state due to the wealth accumulated from controlling and taxing trade. Trade posed the problem of if the government or private companies should control it. Trade spread religious ideas, technology, plants and animals and diseases.…

    Jean Froissart’s accounts of the peasant uprisings of the fourteenth century in France and England greatly challenged the mindset of Medieval Christendom. The Jacquerie and The English Peasant Revolt of 1831 both extremely contradicted the way of living set by the great chain of being and the three pillars that supported Medieval Christendom, since the peasants attempted to rise above the estate they were bound to and equalize themselves with those in the aristocracy by using violent revolt. Though it didn’t work, it put a dent in the pillars that supported Christendom at the time and tested how strong the great chain of being actually was.…
