    DBQ-Mongols,Spanish,India

    Until the 12th and 13th centuries, cross-cultural interactions were unprolonged and less in number when compared to later centuries. However, the assimilation of much of the Eurasian landmass into the Mongol empire as well as the later European exploration of the Americas contributed to the creation of prolonged global connections in which the world’s major continents were connected. Two of the most notable developments include the caravel, which aided European explorers in their conquest of the Americas, and the stirrup and composite bow, which the Mongols used to conquer Eurasia and eventually led to the Pax Mongolica. These technological developments had major effects on both societies.…

    Han dynasty and Mauryan/Gupta empires developed in roughly the same time frame and overlapped in the years 320 B.C.E. - 220 C.E. developing in different parts of the globes with their own unique geographies.

    Han China and Gupta India

    Han China differed from Gupta India politically, developing a strong bureaucratic system while India allowed local rulers to stay in control, but the Guptas focused more on trade and made more intellectual achievements than China, especially in mathematics. They established empires that were successful, but also distinct in their own ways.

    Ottomans v. Safavids v. Mughals Comparative Essay

    The Safavid, Mughal, and Ottoman empires all depended in some way on the allegiance of non-Muslims to the empire. The Ottoman emperors were kinder on their conquered people, and the main separation between Muslims and non-Muslims in the empire was the tax on the dhimmis (non-Muslims). The Safavid leaders were more forceful in this regard. They imposed on subjects to convert to Islam unless they were an asset in trading with Europe. However, the leaders of the Mughal Empire, starting with Akbar, were far more just and understanding toward conquered people (mainly the Hindu population) in northern India.…

    What Effect, If Any, Has the Obama Administration Had on Geographies of International Relations and Politics with Regards to the ‘Arab Spring’ Uprising?

    Socially, the Arab Spring was very significant in publicizing the extent of civil unrest against an oppressive regime, that stretched beyond that of solely political action (Dabashi 2012). The revolutions that occurred in the spring of 2011 saw a new ‘liberation geography’ emerge in the Middle East and North Africa in an attempt to break away from tyrannical dictatorships, yet also the all-encompassing and ever-present stigma of Orientalism (Said 1977). The protestation that came out of Egypt carried the chant “al-Sha’b Yurid Isqat al-Nizam” (Dabashi…

    How Significant Was the Presence of Foreign Powers as an Influence on the Nature and Growth of Arab Nationalism in the Years 1900-2001?

    In the years before 1900, nationalism had always been an underlying movement in the Middle East. Martin Kramer demonstrates this view of Arab nationalism; ‘Awake, O Arabs, and arise’. By selecting this phrase from an Arab poem Kramer shows that the Arab desire for an uprising is trying to be stirred. However, he goes on to voice the opinion of, ‘...many Arabs have suspended their belief in the Arab nation, and now openly doubt whether there is a collective Arab mission’. This has led to a triumph of the nation states, whereby Arabs prefer to be seen as Syrian, Egyptian etc. This was the result of the retreat of Arab nationalism. In the 19th century, the Ottoman Empire tried to combat the growth of European power and influence. Borrowing money to develop their infrastructure, and modernise industry. However, modernisation saw them fall even more under the control of the Europeans, who provided…

    The Ottomans and the Mughals Empire

    The Ottomans and the Mughals are two of the greatest and most powerful civilizations of the modern period. Their moments of glory in the sixteenth century represent high points in human creativity and art. They built empires, which were the largest and most influential of the Muslim empires of the modern period, and their culture and military influence extended into Europe. Most of the triumphant moments of the two empires came during the reigns of Suleyman I the Magnificent in Ottoman Empire and Akbar the great Mughal. Just as the reigns of these two leaders marked highpoints in the growth of their empires, their deaths marked starting points for the decline of their great empires.…
