Part 1 Summarise and compare the evidence for the development of agriculture in South West Asia and North America. The two continents provide a very different insight into the development of agriculture. America with its slow alterations, for example the gathering that continued and the consistency of crops remaining in their natural habitat until much later for example the May grass. South West Asia reveals a different approach where although still gradual development the use of tools and
(a.1) One of David Kang’s most convincing arguments in “East Asia Before the West: Five Centuries of Trade and Tribute” is that the East Asia system was more effective in keeping peace as opposed to the system in Europe, a continent that saw many wars in the five centuries that Kang covers in his book. Kang quotes scholars saying “…there appeared to be one race, and the West had strung the tape at the finish line for others to break…” and “… many of our international-relations theories … see East
southern India. The people who used these routes were Buddhists, and their religion traveled with them to Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar, Bhutan, and many more countries in Asia. These countries became highly influenced by Buddhism and the majority of the people practice it to this day. Buddhism is mainly practiced in the continent Asia. Several countries practice BUddhism, but the two largest are in Thailand and China. Most of the people that practice Buddhism are in China, because of its large population
Beginning in the 15th century, European nations began to colonize many parts of Asia, and later, parts of Africa in the 19th century. The geographic regions of Southeast Asia and West Africa were heavily controlled by European nations. However, European countries have had to retreat their control of these regions, which allowed the nations in return to gain independence. The decolonization of West Africa and Southeast Asia are similar in that the two regions won independence from the same nations and

An analysis of four sources shows how the role of women in the west, central Asia, and China had many differences but also many similarities. The first source this paper analyzes is Gregory of Tours, on the Conversion of Clovis to Christianity (Companion Reader, 216-220). This story is a religious driven historical narrative
Ottoman relations with the West were fairly equal and constant during the 16th to the 18th centuries, as a result of regular trading and trade routes to Asia which went through the Ottoman Empire. European nations had been interested in exploring since the 15th century and had eventually begun exploring Asia in the 16th century. The Europeans who enjoyed the “luxury” goods of Asia, especially from China, began trading with them. Trade was a common occurrence because of high demand for the Asian products
Asia represents much more then a geographic identity. The idea of Asia has always been portrayal by a stereotyped eye. Asia and everything within it seems to be backwards and problematic to the west, but the truth about Asia is far from it. Asia is not simply a geographic identity, nor a cultural one. In face, there is no geographic or cultural absolute. It is merely a cultural myth; dating back to the Ancient Greeks and later the Medieval Europeans, Islamic and Christians used the team Asia Simply
hence half the century was spent under conflict and unsettled disputes. Later the Soviet Union broke down and divided into separate republics, giving freedom to the West. But this liberation led to uncertainties for the West’s future leadership. Many issues arose questioning whether the change will decrease the danger or will the West be able to maintain the position in world’s affairs during the millennium? Will the twenty-first century be more peaceful and have productive outcomes than the twentieth
was mainly a result of exploration, agricultural innovation, social adjustments, monetary development and religious reform. At the start of the 1500s, the majority of the world's wealth was not in Europe but in Asia in the middle east. Explorers like Christopher Columbus opened avenues to Asia and the Americans where Europeans could obtain a wide variety of products like silk, cotton fabrics, porcelains, coffee, tea, and spices(Altman 2014). Explorers, like Columbus, helped end the isolation of Europe
