The Impact Of Southernization And Westernization

The Antebellum period from 1800 to 1850 marked a time of sectionalism in American history. Furthermore, new territories gained during western expansion added to this conflict between different sections of America. Southern states wanted new slave territories, while the North wanted to contain the spread of slavery. While Western expansion contributed to growing sectional tensions between the North and South from 1800-1820, sectionalism intensified significantly from 1820-1850.

The process of southernization is one that had immense impacts for the entire world, including rapid developments in trade, knowledge, agriculture, technology, and culture within a couple millennium. It primarily took place in the Eastern Hemisphere, more specifically in India, the Middle East, and Asia; beginning in Southern Asia. Southernization was prominent in the south due to the suitable climates for many crops; it created a prosperous south that was constantly in contact and development, becoming more advanced and prominent in society.

In the time period from 1450-1750, Asia began to use multiple strategies to to build their empires. Many aspects of their culture including their government, religion, and education were refined and changed. During their time period, Europe began to move into Asia in order to gain influence. While the empires of Eastern Asia focused more on their governments and education, the Europeans came and attempt to spread their religious ideas, especially Catholic countries.

Immediately after the Classical Era of World History, the period that came along was the Postclassical Period. This period, within the year 500 CE and 1450 CE, was built up by “third-wave civilizations”. In other words, it was built up by large empires characterized by constant patterns of change, trade, and considerable changes in technologies. In 1492 CE these civilizations got global, meaning that the interactions among these different societies stopped being regional. Two empires who were very important during the Postclassical Period were the Byzantine Empire and China. Geographically these civilizations were far apart, but as they developed, they became two of the most influential empires of the time. Also, as they developed they

In the 17th century England and Spain were both in a race to settle the New World. After Christopher Columbus had reached this New World Spain almost immediately sent people over to explore and colonize. After the Treaty of Tordesillas secured their land, Spain’s empire quickly expanded across The Americas. England had a bit of a late start when it came to colonization. Even though their first few attempts such as Jamestown, and Roanoke were not very successful England kept at it. Eventually, England and Spain became the two most powerful nations in the Americas. Even though both nations had the same goal, their political, religious, and economic development were very different.

The three colonial empires of Portugal, Spain, and England were the most dominate in the fight for land in the Americas. While the motivations for these three colonial empires were similar and all of the Native Americans and/or Africans saw the Spanish Portuguese and English as one brutally similar people, economic differences between the three of them would ensure that their colonies would develop in dramatically unique ways.

The civilizations of America, Africa, and Europe each had their own political, economic, and religious systems that changed drastically when people from each continent encountered one another. In the Americas, the Native Americans had developed large and massive empires that would come to marvel the world. In Africa, there were are also large empires, home to millions of people. Western Europe on the other hand did not have any large empires or well organized societies. However, this would all change when the Europeans came in contact with the people in the Americas and Africa. It would be the Europeans that rose up while the other races fell.

Between the 1400s and 1800s, there were many religious, scientific, political, economic and military transformations that revolutionized the history of the world and how humans interacted with one another. This time period allowed for the globalization of the world that resulted from extended networks between continents and people. Every region of the world had become linked with one another, and these networks allowed for communication and exchange that connected individuals and societies. The world's population was increasing and more complex connections between individuals, continents and the world at large were being made. Specifically, the Columbian exchange, the Atlantic slave trade, the Protestant reformation, and the French revolution

The era from 1450 CE to 1900 CE encompasses two periods in history. The early modern period between 1450 and 1750 CE is characterized by the age of commercial revolution and the beginning of European dominance. The second period between 1750 and 1900 CE represents an era of Atlantic and Industrial Revolutions as well as the Age of Imperialism. During both these periods, British domination based on sea trade, colonization, and major land-based empires in Asia impacted long-distance trade and shaped economic conditions in North America and China.

During southernization lot of area start to make more advanced trade routes with one another. The first example of this was the silk road in China. This no only aloud they to share ideas with other areas about invention but also culture. The like the Roman who had not learned how to create silk yet now were able to wear silk clothing. People who had always had bland food were now able to get spices. People who wanted to learn about other religions were now about to do that. This was the time of learning from others. That in order to advance you must take what others have and adapt on them. A great example of this is what Japan did. They saw the Chinese culture and were shocked by it. They took the idea of Chinese bureaucracy and buddhism to create their own verizon called zen buddhism. Another good example is where korea took the idea of the Chinese alphabet. However, it was to advanced for them so they created their own language based on it.

The westward expansion of America involves many events that are important to history as a whole. It took place during the Age of Imperialism which began during the nineteenth and twentieth century. Westward expansion was a major event that took place throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. In the early half of the nineteenth century, the westward movement arose numerous issues involving social class, gender roles, and slavery by both political and social means.

Why was the West such a crucial divider between the North and South in this period?

This book is a "Short History," of western empires which explain how European civilization and includes chronology of key events are influenced by the empires that was formed in it, like the Roman empire. It starts with Alexander and his Greek army and ends with the EU. Major events between these two events are empires like the Roman Empire, Byzantine Empire, the Catholic Church as an Empire, the Spanish Empire, British Empire, and the European Colonial influence into the 20th Century.

Impacts of European expansion reached across the world and affected more than the expanding European powers and their colonies in the new world. Life in the world changed when these two cultures that were directly opposite of one another collided. Europe was filled with greed for resources and wealth, the Indigenous people living on these resources were living a simple sustainable life with next to no government or regulation. Once the new world was set up Europeans who ran these new territories called colonists today developed their own society and way of living and would end up revolting against the homeland.

The Portuguese explored vast regions in the Pacific World and conquered territories in South America. Both Portugal and Spain wanted control of territories of land in South America so in order to avoid war they agreed to the Treaty of Terdestilla, where Portugal got what is currently known as Brazil and the Spanish Empire got all the lands west of Brazil. In Brazil the Portuguese needed laborers to help them with their sugar plantations. At first they tried to enslave Native Americans but this was difficult because the Indian could flee into the land and many died from diseases that came from the Western World. The Portuguese solved this problem by enslaving Africans and bringing them to Brazil. In Brazil the Portuguese used their enslaved Africans to work on their sugar plantations and make them wealthy, “Africans constituted the overwhelming majority of the captive labor force that worked the sugar plantations of the Northeast, the region that was at that time the economic engine of the giant Portuguese colony” (Cotroll, 2011). The Portuguese’s brutally exploited these people for their economic benefit. Slaves usually had short lifespans because of how brutally they were treated. The Portuguese Empire’s ruthless conquest goes to show that the Pacific World was a brutal anarchic realm where the powerful ruled over the
