Axum
On my second day, I have visited Axum, in Eastern Africa. A place that in the first century CE, became the wealthiest, most influential market city on the coast of Ethiopia, it finally became a kingdom in the third century CE. I also learned from the locals there that in fourth century CE, missionaries had introduced Christianity to the city of Axum and King Ezana became the first known Christian king in all of Africa, and finally in seventh century CE, Axum has come to a close end. Arabs eventually came and conquered Adulis and cut off Axum’s Red Sea trade route. Also, Axum became successful by trading gold, glass, ivory, metal and agricultural gods with African, Mediterranean and Asia trade networks, along with the Roman Empire, Egypt, Arabia and India.

World History in Context, written by David Christian (2003), questions the context of world history as well as the complexity of human history and the societies with which they live. In Christian’s article he argues that looking at world history in its global context, rather than one specific moment in history, is the way it is intended to be interpreted and allows historians to recognize reoccurring patterns and themes. World history is meant to be an unbiased account of only one specific species, humans (Christian 2003, 437-438). Historians often struggle with this challenging topic and tend to produce works extremely biased, usually towards stable ‘western civilizations’ and

When it comes to modernization, the paths taken by Japan and China were strikingly similar. Well, I say paths taken, however I would argue that it was more along the lines of them being forced upon paths out of necessity in order to survive in a world in which the Western powers of Europe and the United States were increasingly encroaching and interfering in East Asia. The paths I will be looking at for these two nations will both begin with the Tokugawa Shogunate in Japan and the Kangxi emperor in China, and several aspects of how these nations and forms of governance operated, as well as large changes in governance. I will look at how these two nations and the West interacted, and how their interactions began to change as time went on. From
1. Humans first appeared on Earth during the Paleolithic Era. The evidence of burial grounds, stone tools, and other items shows a general migration path of humans out of Africa, and support the theory that these groups were nomadic hunters and foragers. Early humans were mobile and could adapt to different geographical settings from savannah to Ice Age tundra. Anthropologists infer that these bands were relatively egalitarian.

Document A is the poem about Columbus’s journey from Spain to South America. The poem was written in a third person’s point of view, we know this because it speaks of the journey as if they were not there when it was occurring. The purpose of this poem is to teach young children about Columbus’s Journey. This poem was written in 1948 in which there was only one idea about Columbus, that being that he discovered and founded America. We today know that this is wrong, Columbus was not the person who discovered America because there were already people there. To conclude, Document A, the poem about Columbus’s fateful voyage, is written in a third person point of view and was written to teach children of Columbus’s
THESIS: I would like to tell you a little bit about myself by discussing what it was like to grow up in Hawaii and move here.
The two historical documents, Narrative of Lavinia Bell written by an anonymous author in the Montreal Gazette and the Letter to an English Abolitionist by James Henry Hammond, shared their strong opinions on the important issue of slavery. These documents were written in the 1800’s during an era of progressive changes. One can identify similarities and many differences in their opinions, motives, and goals for their writings. I believe Bell’s account was written to show the perspective of slaves’ brutal view, compared to Hammond’s letter justifying slavery and the rights of the slaveholders.
During the High Middle Ages, there were many events that occurred in both England and France that helped those two nations move from the Middle Ages towards the Modern Age and the formation of Modern States. Two events in particular that helped embark on this advancement are: the signing of the Magna Carta and the creation of the Estates-General.
In the sixth century B.C.E., the civilization of Aksum, which was located in what in now Ethiopia, was flourishing. One traveler wrote his thoughts about the trading processes that the Aksumites did. This piece of writing that he wrote can show a lot about how the Aksumites lived.
The kingdom of Axum consisted of many lands. It covered Eritrea, Ethiopia, Yemen, Djibouti, southern Egypt, southern Saudi Arabia, and northern sudan. It was a powerful, early trading kingdom and it dominated the trade in the region for about a 1000 years. The empire was abundant with gold and iron, also trading various animal skins and ivory.. Much salt was also harvested from the rich ground of Axum, making the land wealthy and prosperous. They even developed their own alphabet called Ge’ez. The people of Axum also adopted Christianity unlike many other trade kingdoms at that time and was able to keep peace with the numerous Muslim nations. Unfortunately, later on, the Islamic kingdoms took over the the red sea causing Axum to be isolated,
