Task 4: Color the Major Maritime Powers and Gunpowder Empire Empires in older civilization areas gained new strength from new technologies in weaponry. Basing their new power on "gunpowder," they still suffered from the old issues that had plagued land-based empires for centuries: defense of borders, communication within the empire, and maintenance of an army adequate to defend the large territory. By the end of the era, many were less powerful than the new sea-based kingdoms of Europe. Major Maritime and Gunpowder Empires in 1750

Eastern Hemisphere trade routes Task 5: Copy and Color the Trade Routes European trade routes

Task 6 Copy and Trace the following two exchanges between the Eastern Hemisphere and the Western Hemisphere Columbian Exchange. Atlantic System (Triangle Trade) Make sure to include items that were traded along these routes

Columbian Exchange European colonization of the Americas led to the transfer of foods and animals (for example: American potatoes & maize and African okra & rice) as well as the spread of diseases and the unintentional transfer of vermin, including mosquitos and rats. Populations in Afro-Eurasia benefited nutritionally from the increased diversity of American food crops. European colonization and the introduction of European agriculture and settlements practices in the Americas often affected the physical environment through deforestation and soil depletion.  

The Atlantic System is also known as The Triangle Trade The Middle Passage saw the transportation of millions of slaves across the Atlantic The Atlantic system involved the movements of goods, wealth, and free and unfree laborers and the mixing of African, American and European cultures and peoples. England facilitated the trade because they produced both textiles and manufactured goods which were not available in either North America or Africa which kept the need for Europe in the network.  The biggest section of the trade network was connected to Africa. This was to gain access to African slaves which were the most important product exchange between the three regions.

Answer the following Question: 1. What effects/impacts do you think exploration and trade had on the world? (you may answer on the back of your map)

EFFECTS: Exploration and trade led to the acquisition of colonies in North and South America that led to major changes in labor systems. After many Amerindians died from disease transmitted by contact with Europeans, a vigorous slave trade from Africa began and continued throughout most of the era. Slave labor became very important all over the Americas. Does your answer match up, add some more ideas if you need to?

2. Explain, how the World became smaller as our experiences increased 2. Explain, how the World became smaller as our experiences increased? What was the impact?

Impact of new interaction Religion: Islam spread to Afro-Eurasia Christianity spread around the world (40% of Catholics today live in Latin America) Buddhism continued to spread to Southeast and East Asia Money/Profits: How are these empires spending their extra money? Visual and performing arts Renaissance in Europe Protestant Reformation Miniatures in Persia New authors: Shakespeare Kabuki in Japan

How were most societies organized in the 1700s? Think back to the Gunpowder Empires, the Maritime Empires, and you vocabulary from 1500-1800’s: 3. How do you think they were organized? 4. Who do you think held the power? Why? 5. How do you think they got that power? 6. Who do you think owned the land? 7. How do you think people gained their wealth? 8. What do you think their social structure looked like?

How were most societies organized in the 1700s? Royal Family Political Birth (3-5%) Elite Military Owned land Religious Small middle class Farmers (90%) How were most societies organized in the 1700s?

United States Social Structure

How were most societies organized in the 1700s? (Example answer) The ruler was usually, but not always, a man who came from a dynasty, a family of rulers. Dynasties changed all the time, when kings were defeated and overthrown, but the winners would then set up a new dynasty under one leader. The tsar or sultan got his legitimacy from his birth into the royal family and the support of religious and political elites. Most emperors claimed that they had been chosen or blessed by divine power, and that they ruled on behalf of God to keep order and justice in the society. Besides the royal family, there were elite groups in that society who had political, military, or religious power, and owned wealth and land. These elite groups went by different names in each state or empire, such as nobles and scholar-officials, but they had privileges, that is, special rights that ordinary people did not have. Often elite status was based on birth. There weren’t many elites, either, as they were about three to five percent of the population. Below the elite groups, there was a small middle class. But the majority of people in the world worked as farmers and had very little wealth or material possessions, no education, and no political power. How were most societies organized in the 1700s?
