The Atlantic And The Indian Oceans

The Caribbean Sea in located off the coast of North, Central, and South Americas. This sea spans about two million, seven hundred and fifty-three thousand square kilometers. There are also many islands found in the midst of the Caribbean Sea. While these islands are a great place for a vacation, the populations of people on the islands can affect life. Many different factors influence life in the Caribbean Sea. These factors are divided into two categories; abiotic factors and biotic factors. These types of factors can influence biodiversity in a certain area. A change in a single population results in a huge change in an ecosystem that was previously well-balanced and diverse. Populations change in size all as a result of these factors.

In this week’s chapter The Atlantic World which introduces the history from prehistory through 1566, there were two themes that stand out for me which are: The Big “C”s, Conquest, Commerce, Colonization, & Conversion and Race. The history resembles on the European expansion and the discovery of the Americas by Christopher Columbus. Christopher Columbus was the first person to discover the American continent. The New World was another name given to America. The American territory differed in social, economically and politically. America was divided by three societies: Aztecs, Mayan and Incan which belonged to urban societies. Colonization was a breakthrough for both continents. They adaptation was about to begin, there were new things that one continent had

Commerce in the Indian Ocean region was transformed between the years 650 CE and 1750 CE. Multiple changes, as well as continuities shaped the Indian Ocean commercial trade, including the continued use of overseas trade routes, which were constantly affected by the monsoon winds during transit. In addition, certain key changes throughout the time period, involve the rise and fall of the major powerful empires, such as the Delhi`, Sultanate, Tang, Song, Ming, and the Mongolian, which all played significant roles in facilitating inter-regional trade. Not to mention, the increase of maritime trade technology, which reshaped the way merchants traveled. All together, the Indian Ocean trade network underwent numerous changes, as well as continuities, which improved the commerce during this era.

West Indian planters were very wealthy and translated their wealth into political power, controlling the colonial assemblies and even gaining a number of seats in the British Parliament.

With the years of development of trades between Silk Roads and the Indian Ocean, both went through some changes along with being tied to each other. For the silk roads, Roman and Egyptian Jews would travel through the silk roads as they were the most common traders. Although for the Indian ocean Muslim traders had dominated the sea. The world's shipping lanes was the Indian ocean during the years 1100-1500 A.D, as Arab sailors soon were masters of the sea trade in the ocean. When northern groups had taken over parts of silk routes, sea trades were taken as they were alternate paths.This resulted in Chinese becoming masters of ship building and merchants creating new trade routes and a new credit system. When the Song dynasty came, silk roads were becoming less common in use of trade as sea trades were becoming more common as they were much cheaper and safer. Trades in the Indian Ocean was not only becoming more common just because of the conditions, but also because of the hajj where Muslims were supposed to travel at least once in their lifetime to

When considering the Atlantic World, we tend to think about the history of how it all began, the middle, or the passage of the slaves from the Old World to the New World, and lastly, how it all came to an end. But in between the beginning, middle, and end there is much more than what we believe it to be. We must gain a complete understanding of why these people came to the justification of their actions and how it molded the interpretation for centuries after the “beginners.” Throughout the migration of people from the Old World to the New World, a variety of historical perspectives were gained as well as lost. One in particular being that of human beings. We can then begin to question whether this is something that was gained or lost within the lines of migration.

The Russian areas of the empire, called the Golden Horde, were governed by the princes of Russia. According to Britannica, “The Russian princes fell to quarreling and to maneuvering for their own advantage in the Golden Horde politics, and tribes of the west paid little heed to the khans” (35). This shows that even though the Mongols tried to control them, the Russian princes and tribesmen were resistant to change. Because of this, the leaders of the Golden Horde could not stop the tribesmen from regaining control of Crimea, or stop the Russian princes from attempting to overpower each other in political power.

While chaos continued to spread across the country, Russia began to eye the territory of Crimea, one if Ukraine’s most southwestern territories and an area that used to belong to Russia until it was transferred to Ukraine in 1954. By the end of February, masked Russian troops without insignias took over the Supreme Council of Crimea and several strategic sites across Crimea. This event led to the installation of the pro-Russian Aksyonov government in Crimea and the declaration of Crimea 's independence. This spurred the Ukraine’s provisional government to request an emergency meeting with the U.N. Security Council in which they called on Russia to stop all military action in Crimea. By Mach 1st, Russia’s parliament approves President Putin 's request to use force

Atlantic croaker (Micropogonias undulatus [Linnaeus, 1766]), have a distribution ranging in the Western Atlantic from the Gulf of Maine to the northern Gulf of Mexico (GOM). In addition, their range may potentially extend into the southern GOM, the Lesser Antilles and southern Caribbean, and from Brazil through southern Argentina (Smith, 1997). Atlantic croaker stock status is unknown (NMFS, 2012), although it is expected to be below the maximum sustainable yield. The amount of Atlantic croaker harvested commercially has been cyclic, ranging from 1,100 metric tons (t) to over 15,000 t per year, with recently estimated levels at approximately 9,000 t, with a value of approximately eight million US dollars (NMFS, 2012). These fluctuations

Beginning in the 15th century, European explorers crossed the Atlantic Ocean and conquered almost all of the New World. Mexico, the Caribbean islands, and South America all became part of a vast area of European colonies known as Latin America. The British, French, Dutch, and Portuguese all had territory in this region, but the most notable conquistadors were the Spanish. New Spain included most of the Caribbean islands, Mexico, almost all of Central America, and the entire western coast of South America. Throughout all of these colonies, Spanish society was controlled by a strict social system. At the top of the social hierarchy were the peninsulares, European-born colonists who dominated the government. The peninsulares were

The Indian Ocean Region’s commerce and countries were vastly connected with the Indian Ocean Trade Network. During the time period of 650 C.E. to 1750 C.E., the Indian Ocean Region’s commerce experienced continuities in the people and regions involved in the Indian Ocean Trade Network, the use of monsoon winds to facilitate commerce, and the intermarrying of people. The Indian Ocean region, during this same time period, experienced changes in commerce, such as new and improved technologies, the trading of new goods, and the involvement of new people.

In the early 20th century, the movement known as Progressivism, which promoted advancements in research, technology, and economic growth, worked to improve American society and to bring awareness to the destruction of the environment. Many reform activities concerned with the conservation of resources and protection of land areas were widely promoted. The 1920s, also known as the “roaring twenties”, gave way to an increase in economic growth and prosperity, resulting in part from the rise of the automobile industry. Americans were infatuated with this device, and the boom of the automobile industry coinciding with the invention of countless other devices such as the lawn mover, caused the steady decline of global awareness. The term “postindustrial

All throughout the blue currents of the Indian Ocean, in which this body of water, over time filled with migrating people such as sailors, religious leaders, and traders. The movement of people infused the area with differing beliefs, ideas, and goods by contributing to the expansion of Eurasia and Africa. As the level of trade, innovations, and division of labor grew so did the level of globalization took place in this area of the world. The ways in which this land mass became so integrated with the level of interconnectivity, was the rate in which services and goods traveled. All these different aspects especially economically, help expand Africa and Eurasia to become a world power. The fundamental part of becoming a world power comes

The Indian Ocean Basin trade was the most significant trade after the collapse of the Mongols and the Silk Road. During the period circa 600 to 1450 CE the Indian Ocean Basin trade developed into the most important exchange of products and ideas in the world. During the period the area had numerous technological and religious developments, however the trade itself didn’t change during this time as far as geography and policies of trade.

Central Theme: The business world is composed of two types of spaces, these are called red oceans and blue oceans. Red oceans are the representation of all industries that have already been established and are in existence to this day, such as the automobile industry. Within the red ocean space boundaries have been set up and established throughout the industry, companies accept them and understand the competitive nature and rules. Companies within the red ocean industries, try to compete for the existing demand from the consumers by outperforming their competitors. Nevertheless, when the ocean becomes overcrowded the profitability of the industry diminishes due to many producers of the product and/or service, often leading to price wars;
