8. The Question of Periodization How should we understand the millennium that stretches from the end of the classical era to the beginning of modern world history?  200 and 850CE – classical states & civilizations disrupted, declined, or collapsed.  Columbus’s transatlantic voyages around 1500 mark a new departure in world history. The process or study of categorizing the past into blocks of time in order to make the study and analysis of history easier. STOP! Do you know the meanings of all the words on this page?

9. Periodization Hard to define a distinct identity for this period Postclassical? Medieval or Middle Ages? We are now in – Third-wave civilizations 1 st Wave: Egypt, Mesopotamia, China, Indus River 2 nd Wave: Rome, Greece, Persia, Han

11. Differing Trajectories Radical change Most expansive and influential 3rd wave civilization was Islam Defines the beginning of this period Political & economic system a tool of religion Usually the other way around Continuities Older civilizations persisted or reconstructed New civilizations were similar to earlier civilizations Byzantine Empire China India Niger River Valley

12. Differing Trajectories Continuities Western Europe Decentralized societies emerged Vandals, Visigoths, Franks, Huns, Saxons, Angles, Goths… Hybrid civilization of classical & Germanic elements emerges Development of highly competitive states after 1000 Changes Collapse of classical Maya civilization & Teotihuacán reshaped ancient civilization Aztecs emerge Inca form an empire out of various centers of Andean civilization

13. Trans-regional Interaction The theme is – the massive increase in interaction between the world’s regions, cultures, and peoples. Increasingly, change caused by contact with strangers and/or their ideas, armies, goods, or diseases Cosmopolitan regions emerged in a variety of places—“mini-globalizations”

14. Accelerating Pace of Interaction Trade Empire Interactions between the two

15. Key Thematic Elements Trade Growth of long-distance commerce Led to the establishment of many new states or empires Religious ideas, technologies, and germs moved along trade routes Empire Large empires, incorporating many distinct cultures under a single political system provided security for trade 3rd wave civilizations were larger (Arab, Mongol, & Inca) largest empires created by nomadic or pastoral peoples (Arabs, Turks, Mongols, Aztecs)

16. Trade and Empire Together Spread of ideas, technologies, crops, and germs Wide diffusion of religions Wide diffusion of technologies, many from China and India Devastating epidemic disease (e.g., Black Death) linked distant communities

17. Trade and Empire Together Focus on accelerating connections puts a spotlight on travelers rather than on those who stayed at home. A focus on interaction raises questions: How much choice did individuals or societies have in accepting new ideas or practices? How much choice did they have about how they made those decisions?
