UNIT 1: FOUNDATIONS c. 8000 B.C.E.–600 C.E.

Late Classical period 200 C.E.–600 C.E.

THE FALL OF EMPIRES Recall that all of the river-valley civilization areas experienced significant decline and/or conquest in the time period around 1200 BCE. A similar thing happened to the classical civilizations between about 200 and 600 CE, and because the empires were larger and more connected, their fall had an even more significant impact on the course of world history. Han China was the first to fall (around 220 CE), then the Western Roman Empire (476 CE), and finally the Gupta in 550 CE.

The Fall Similiarities Attacks from the Huns - The Huns were a nomadic people of Asia that began to migrate south and west during this time period. Their migration was probably caused by drought and lack of pasture, and the invention and use of the stirrup facilitated their attacks on all three established civilizations. Deterioration of political institutions - All three empires were riddled by political corruption during their latter days, and all three suffered under weak-willed rulers. Moral decay also characterized the years prior to their respective falls. Protection/maintenance of borders - All empires found that their borders had grown so large that their military had trouble guarding them. A primary example is the failure of the Great Wall to keep the Huns out of China. The Huns generally just went around it. Diseases that followed the trade routes - Plagues and epidemics may have killed off as much as half of the population of each empire.

Differences Even though the empires shared common reasons for their declines, some significant differences also may be seen. The Gupta's dependence on alliances with regional princes broke down, exhibiting the tendency toward political fragmentation on the Indian subcontinent. Rome's empire lasted much longer than did either of the other two. The Roman Empire also split in two, and the eastern half endured for another 1000 years after the west fell.

The fall of empire affected the three areas in different ways. The fall of the Gupta probably had the least impact, partly because political unity wasn't the rule anyway, and partly because the traditions of Hinduism and the caste system (the glue that held the area together) continued on after the empire fell. The fall of the Han Dynasty was problematic for China because strong centralized government was in place, and social disorder resulted from the loss of authority. However, dynastic cycles that followed the dictates of the Mandate of Heaven were well defined in China, and the Confucian traditions continued to give coherence to Chinese society. The most devastating fall of all occurred in Rome. Roman civilization depended almost exclusively on the ability of the government and the military to control territory. Even though Christianity emerged as a major religion, it appeared so late in the life of the empire that it provided little to unify people as Romans after the empire fell. Instead, the areas of the empire fragmented into small parts and developed unique characteristics, and the Western Roman Empire never united again

Common Consequences The fall of the three empires had some important consequences that represent major turning points in world history: Trade was disrupted but survived, keeping intact the trend toward increased long-distance contact. Trade on the Indian Ocean even increased as conflict and decline of political authority affected overland trade. The importance of religion increased as political authority decreased. In the west religion, particularly Christianity, was left to slowly develop authority in many areas of people's lives. Buddhism also spread quickly into China, presenting itself as competition to Confucian traditions. Political disunity in the Middle East forged the way for the appearance of a new religion in the 7th century. By 600 CE Islam was in the wings waiting to make its entrance onto the world stage.

Major Comparisons and Snapshots Comparisons of the major religious and philosophical systems including some underlying similarities in cementing a social hierarchy, e.g., Hinduism contrasted with Confucianism Role of women in different belief systems -- Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, and Hinduism Understanding of how and why the collapse of empire was more severe in western Europe than it was in the eastern Mediterranean or in China Compare the caste system to other systems of social inequality devised by early and classical civilizations, including slavery Compare societies and cultures that include cities with pastoral and nomadic societies Compare the development of traditions and institutions in major civilizations, e.g., Indian, Chinese, and Greek Describe interregional trading systems, e.g., the Indian Ocean trade

Examples of what you need to know Nature of the Neolithic revolution, but not characteristics of previous stone ages, e.g., Paleolithic and Mesolithic Economic and social results of the agricultural revolution, but not specific date of the introduction of agriculture to specific societies Nature of patriarchal systems, but not changes in family structure within a single region Nature of early civilizations, but not necessarily specific knowledge of more than two Importance of the introduction of bronze and iron, but not specific inventions or implements Political heritage of classical China (emperor, bureaucracy), but not specific knowledge of dynastic transitions, e.g., from Qin to Han Greek approaches to science and philosophy, including Aristotle, but not details about other specific philosophers Diffusion of major religious systems, but not the specific regional forms of Buddhism or Aryan or Nestorian Christianity
