The Movement Of The Indian Ocean

West Africa experienced social impact of Islam and its own inner progress delivered incredible creative achievements. Capable state, such a Mali and Songhay, depended more on military power and dynastic partnerships than on ethnic or social solidarity. There was the advancement of city-states, with strong merchant communities in west Africa and the Indian Ocean shoreline of east Africa that demonstrated likenesses to urban improvements of Italy and Germany in this period. Be that as it may, there were abberations between the advancements and belief systems of European and Africans and contrasts in the ways their social orders created. Northern Africa and the east African drift were somewhat fused into the Arab Muslim world. New focuses of human progress and political power emerged in sub-Saharan Africa, showing the geographic dispersion of development. Bantu relocation and the development of substantial states in the western Sudan

As you can see the Aksum empire was the best and biggest trading empire because of where they were and the geography around them. Ancient Egypt was a smart empire and learn the way the geography around them worked and what it did, so they can plan around it and be successful. Lastly, Ancient Greece was affected and they weren’t able to move and be able to life with a very successful empire where they were. This shows that geography was a huge part of the way the people in the empires lived and if they were successful or

During the years of 3500 BC to 2500 BC, the geography of a land often impacted a civilizations development in great measures. Depending on the resources available or the detriments present due to certain topographical characteristics like rivers or deserts, a civilization could flourish or collapse. By studying the geographic features of growing societies like the Nile, Euphrates, and Tigris Rivers as well as the Mediterranean Sea of Egypt and Mesopotamia, the link between developing cultures and geography will be examined through sources, including Egypt: Ancient Culture, Modern Land edited by Jaromir Malek and Babylon: Mesopotamia and the Birth of Civilization by Paul Kriwaczek. To determine the extent

Areas would have to keep up with the competition or they would be taken out by neighboring nomads like the mongols. Asia realized that they had the geological advantage and used this to grow crops that other areas were not able to. It was so much of an advantage that Europeans went all the way to America or the new world to grow crops like sugarcane so they could make money and sell it were they came from were it was hard to make. It happened because if you could not keep up with the neighboring areas you taken over or you would be paying tribute to others until you ran out of things to give

civilization in the region at the time. They had developed political, religious, and social systems

There was a huge demand for luxury Asian goods in India, that would lead Europeans to trade along the Indian Ocean for Indian spices and goods. Because of this, an economy was revolved around trading, known as a mercantilist economy, where European nations would have rivalries in order to obtain silver in the Americas. This would then lead to European countries trying to thrive in the Indian Ocean with joint stock companies and trading posts in order to control the area and help out their economy.

This linkage gave a rise to mutually dependent and unity around the globe.  One of the long-term effects of European linking Afro-Eurasia with the America introduces the wide diffusion of technology (Bentley 376).  These technologies was an advantage to because most of the technology affect to warfare worldwide. Another thing that was considered as a long term effect was the technology of transportation. During the time, the widespread diffusion of technology enriched the animal and maritime transportation. In which, induced both more trade and industry integration through long distances as well as more financial growth. (Bentley 377). These technologies was an enormous plus to because some of the technology pertain to warfare and the economic growth and transportation that help increase military power and

4. Agriculture was also a big part of this, business and cities grow in largey such in a small amount of time, during this time period. By having their lands being expanded. Since many people were able to stay in this land, they were able to make prohibit through this.

There were many changes and continuities in the Indian ocean trade routes from the classical to the post classic time period. The trade along the Indian Ocean spread culture, religion, technology, crops, and other goods. This diffusion of goods, technology, and religion along the Indian Ocean trade routes was very similar to the diffusion of European and Native American goods, technology, and religion during the 15th-17th centuries in the Americas, often known as the age of exploration. This is because along the India indian ocean during the post classical period, buddhism and hinduism spread to Africa and China and Islam spread into India. From India, many goods including cotton, spices, black pepper, ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, nutmeg,

Major continuities during this time period are their belief in something/someone (gods), the geological location, and the advancements due to agriculture. All civilizations during this time period have gods to which they dedicate time and sacred spaces such as temples or shrines. They let the gods set their lifestyle and government. All the civilizations in this time period also had similar geological location, they were all settled near a river. Civilizations in this period had many advancements technologically and others that derived from the shift to agriculture. The diversion to agriculture inspired people to be more creative. They had to come up with ways to make their labor less complicated and more effortless.

The commercial life in the Indian Ocean region during 650 C.E to 1750 C.E was altered, mainly so after the fall of the Mongol Empire in the 14th century. The fall ultimately led to a number of changes, such as The Columbian Exchange which affected what they traded, and competition for control between Portuguese and Arabs over who would control the trade region. Although changes occurred, the trade routes stayed the same during the region.

The drying climate led to grasslands. Animals were kept in flocks and domesticated into livestock such as sheep. A shift to agriculture led to a larger food supply and an increased concentration in population; moving dispersed populations to concentrated ones. Organization of agriculture tied people together making social and political control possible and simpler. Agriculture increased need for social cooperation, structure, and differentiation. Also, agriculture pushed development within civilizations

Agriculture has always been an important factor in the development of civilizations and was the primary cause of success for some of the world’s leading powers: the USA, China, and, at the time, Mesopotamia. Without agriculture, none of these countries would have been able to sustain large populations of people, which means their civilizations would not have developed nearly as well as they did. In Mesopotamia, the fertile land was greatly beneficial to the development of the region into a powerful society at that time. The United States was greatly impacted by the farming systems that had been developed by the settlers and some that were taught by the Native Americans. Similarly, China’s agricultural systems aided the country in efficiently providing

For example, agriculture, often on a larger scale, has always played a role in the basis of each civilization’s economy. And with economy always comes a social structure of classes, frequently separating the wealthy from the poor. Plus, in all societies, they were shaped and either joined or separated based on the geography. Each civilization also attempted to record their history in different forms of writing. Nonetheless, these common elements were also the reason behind many of their problems; for example, basing the economy off of mainly agriculture put them at risk of weakening individuals in other fields, such as industry, intellect, and the arts. The social classes that followed after the creation of the economy caused strife between the wealthy and the poor. In addition, like in Greece and Mesopotamia, geography had the potential of shaping a civilization for the worse: in Greece, the hills separating them made them fiercely independent and caused wars; in Mesopotamia, the unpredictable and powerful flooding of the Euphrates and Tigris Rivers made the people fear the gods and feel as if they were doing wrong. Lastly, the writing in different forms and lack of a written history until ancient Greece caused many problems as well -- different civilizations were unable to efficiently and correctly communicate with one another for peace

The ability to produce iron, especially made an extremely large impact in the Mesopotamian area. If not for that invention, the nation of Babylon may have not been able to enlarge their borders to the extent that they did. I especially liked how you mentioned technology to communicate in that region, because that helped the spread of new technologies and the ongoing process to help nations in those areas to increase in technologies to help their citizens.
