By 1225, Genghis Khan had united the Mongols and controlled Central Asia, using brutality to subdue his enemies. After his death in 1227, his successors expanded the Mongol Empire to include northern China, Korea, Russia, and territories reaching into Eastern Europe and the Middle East over the next 50 years. The Mongol Empire was eventually divided into four khanates that ruled different regions.

Total revenue is the total amount earned from sales and is calculated as price times quantity sold. Marginal revenue is the change in total revenue from selling one more unit. There are two types of costs - fixed costs that do not change with output like rent, and variable costs that do change like labor. Total cost is the sum of fixed and variable costs. Marginal cost is the change in total cost from producing one more unit. Businesses aim to produce at the quantity where marginal cost equals marginal revenue to maximize profit, which is total revenue minus total cost. E-commerce firms have lower fixed costs than traditional stores since they do not need physical retail space or large inventories.

The Seljuks confronted both the Crusaders and later the Mongols, with the Mongol conquest of Baghdad in 1258 marking the end of Seljuk rule.
6.5 rome and the roots of western civilization (1)
The Romans adopted aspects of Greek culture, resulting in Greco-Roman civilization. They developed skills in bas-relief sculptures, mosaics, painting frescoes, and the preserved art in Pompeii after the volcanic eruption in 79 AD. The Romans also borrowed Greek philosophy, literature, and the Latin language became the basis for romance languages like French, Spanish and Italian. They were master builders who pioneered the use of arches and concrete and built aqueducts to transport water. Roman principles of law also form the basis of modern legal systems and Rome strengthened Western culture by preserving Greek civilization.
8 Africa
Early civilizations emerged across Africa beginning around 4600 years ago. Nomadic groups migrated across the continent, spreading agriculture and ironworking. States developed in West Africa along trade routes for gold and salt, including the empires of Ghana and Mali. In East Africa, coastal city-states engaged in Indian Ocean trade, developing Swahili culture. Further south, stateless societies organized along family and clan lines, building monumental structures like Great Zimbabwe. Across the continent, African cultures developed rich artistic, musical, architectural and oral traditions.
6 1 the roman republic
Rome was founded between 1000-500 BC by Latins on seven hills along the Tiber River in central Italy due to its fertile soil and strategic location.

Rome expanded its power by conquering neighboring peoples and defeating rivals like Carthage in the Punic Wars, allowing Rome to control the entire Italian peninsula and become the dominant power in the Mediterranean by 146 BC.
13.3 the age of chivalry (1)
Knighthood became the most important part of medieval armies after 700 CE due to technological changes like stirrups. Knights fought for feudal lords and were rewarded with land. By 1100, knights followed a code of chivalry to protect the weak, serve their lord and lady. Boys began training as young as 7 and were usually knighted at 21 through experience in local wars and tournaments. Epic poems and love songs composed by troubadours helped glorify knights and their duties to their ladies.

5.3 democracy and greece’s golden age
During Greece's golden age in the 5th century BC, the Athenian leader Pericles strengthened Athenian democracy and cultural works. He commissioned projects like the Parthenon and hired leading artists and architects to beautify Athens. However, tensions grew between Athens and Sparta, leading to the Peloponnesian War from 431-404 BC. The war weakened Athens and led to a Spartan victory. After the war, Greek philosophers like Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle emerged and made lasting contributions to Western philosophy through questioning, logic, and the examination of ethics, politics, and knowledge.
5.4 alexander’s empire
Philip II of Macedon built a powerful professional army and used it to conquer the disunited city-states of Greece in the late 4th century BC. After defeating Athens and Sparta, Philip formed the Corinthian League to unite Greece and prepare to invade the Persian Empire. However, Philip was assassinated in 336 BC, allowing his son Alexander to become king of Macedonia and complete Philip's plans by conquering the entire Persian Empire between 334-323 BC, spreading Greek culture across Western Asia and into India.
4.2 The Assyrian Empire
The Assyrian Empire developed a powerful military machine that allowed it to conquer vast territories across Southwest Asia between 850 and 650 BC. Assyrian kings such as Sennacherib used brutal force and advanced weaponry to crush enemies and establish an empire with a highly organized administration and military. At its height, the Assyrian Empire encompassed modern day Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, and parts of Turkey. However, overextension and cruelty towards subjected peoples led to its decline, and the Assyrian Empire fell when its capital Nineveh was sacked in 612 BC.

The Byzantine Empire flourished after the split of the Roman Empire into Eastern and Western halves in 395 CE. Under the emperor Justinian in the 6th century, the Byzantine Empire reconquered much of the former Roman territory and Justinian codified the empire's laws. However, the Byzantine Empire faced attacks from many groups and fell to the Ottoman Turks in 1453, bringing an end to the Byzantine Empire. Linguistic, theological, and political differences grew over time between the Eastern Orthodox and Western Catholic churches, culminating in their official split in 1054 with the mutual excommunication of their leaders.

Encarta Historical Essays reflect the knowledge and insight of leading historians. This collection of essays
is assembled to support the National Standards for World History. In this essay, Craig Lockard of the
University of Wisconsin at Green Bay examines the influence throughout Asia of China under the great
Tang Dynasty. Tang China, he demonstrates, maintained a superpower status that only a few nations have
equaled.
Tang Civilization and the Chinese
Centuries
By Craig Lockard
In every era, one or two countries have existed that can be called superpowers because
of their influence in world military, economic, political, and cultural affairs.
Superpowers even developed in ancient times, as the ancient Persian Empire and the
conquests of Alexander the Great set the stage for Rome, Maurya India, and Han China
to dominate the western, southern, and eastern regions, respectively, of Eurasia. Over
the centuries that followed, the Arabs, Mongols, Portuguese, Spanish, and Dutch,
successively, achieved powerful positions in a widening world, followed by the British
in the 18th and 19th centuries. In the 20th century, the dominant nation has been the
United States. Indeed, the decades since 1945 have sometimes been called “the
American Century” because U.S. power and influence have been so great around the
world. Transregional dominance is difficult to maintain, however, as other civilizations
eventually catch up and forge ahead. The influence of the United States will have to
prove enduring to match the longevity of China’s status as a superpower, which began in
the middle of the first millennium AD.
The period from 300 to 1000 was a time of intensive exchange and interaction across
Eurasia. Several civilizations stand out as major influences. Gupta India, Byzantium,
and the Islamic caliphates of the Middle East were remarkable powerhouses. Some
world historians view the years from about 600 to 1500 as the Chinese Millennium, with
China as the largest, strongest, and most populous civilization in Eurasia. China's
success beginning under the great Tang dynasty (618-907) would prove to be the longest
lasting period of success in world history. Indeed, the Tang dynasty is regarded by many
historians as the most glorious period of China's long history.
The years during which the Tang empire experienced its greatest power established a
pattern for China that would continue throughout the Song and Ming dynasties into early
modern times. Tang rule set a standard mark on many facets of Chinese life, including
literature and the arts. For this reason, Tang China was admired and copied by many
other peoples. During Tang rule, China had its greatest influence on eastern Asia and, at
the same time, carried out active trade with peoples across Eurasia. For more than 100
years, the Tang empire stretched deep into Central Asia, and various aspects of Chinese
culture spread to Korea and Japan. Buddhism flourished, linking China to ...

American Revolution with timeline.pptx
The document summarizes key events leading up to and during the American Revolution, including Britain passing taxes on the colonies without representation which angered colonists and led to protests. The Boston Tea Party and Intolerable Acts further increased tensions, leading to the first battles of the Revolutionary War at Lexington and Concord. After gaining independence, Americans faced challenges in governance under the Articles of Confederation and ultimately created a new Constitution with checks and balances and protections for individual rights in the form of the Bill of Rights.
American Revolution with timeline.pptx
The document summarizes key events leading up to and during the American Revolution. It describes Britain passing new taxes on the colonies through acts like the Stamp Act and Townshend Acts, sparking colonial protests over "no taxation without representation." This growing tension erupted into violence at the Boston Massacre and culminated in the Boston Tea Party. In response, Britain passed the Intolerable Acts, leading the colonies to form the Continental Congress. The Revolutionary War began with battles at Lexington and Concord in 1775. After declaring independence in 1776, the Americans defeated Britain with the help of Enlightenment ideas. They then established a new democratic republic with the Articles of Confederation and later the U.S. Constitution.
India (1).pptx
1. The document describes the early civilizations and geography of India, including the Indus River Valley cultures from around 7000 BCE. 2. It discusses the Indus Valley civilization, also called the Harappan civilization, which had advanced city planning with a grid system and plumbing. 3. Around 1500 BCE, Aryan groups migrated into northern India and their languages and cultural influences mixed with the local Harappan peoples, establishing social hierarchies and religious traditions that still influence Indian society today.
The renaissance
The Renaissance began in 14th century Italy as a period of cultural and intellectual revival following the Middle Ages. It spread across Europe in the 15th and 16th centuries. The Renaissance sought to revive ideas and values from classical antiquity, with a focus on human potential and achievements. Notable Renaissance artists like Michelangelo, Raphael, and Leonardo da Vinci developed new techniques like linear perspective and studied human anatomy to portray figures in unprecedented realism and detail. Their works, including Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel and David, and da Vinci's Mona Lisa and Last Supper, had a profound influence on Western art and culture.
A brief history, of the Tudors
The document provides a brief overview of the Plantagenet and Tudor dynasties in England. It describes the War of the Roses between the houses of Lancaster and York for control of the throne. Henry Tudor defeats Richard III at Bosworth Field, becoming King Henry VII and uniting the houses. His son, Henry VIII, breaks with the Catholic Church and establishes himself as head of the Church of England due to disputes over annulments of his marriages. Henry VIII had six wives, two of whom he divorced and two he had executed. His three children, Edward VI, Mary I, and Elizabeth I, each succeeded him as monarch and shaped the English Reformation and England's global expansion.
Feudalism in europe
Feudalism developed in medieval Europe due to instability following the fall of the Carolingian Empire. As the empire fragmented, kings were unable to defend their lands from invaders like the Vikings, Magyars, and Muslims. People turned to local lords for protection, leading to the rise of feudalism. Under feudalism, lords granted land to vassals in exchange for military service. Peasants were tied as serfs to manors, working the land in exchange for protection. Feudalism structured medieval European society around relationships of loyalty between lords and vassals and between lords and serfs.
6 fall of rome
The document discusses the decline and fall of the Western Roman Empire between the 2nd and 5th centuries AD. It identifies several key factors that contributed to Rome's decline, including economic troubles, political instability, social changes, and military weaknesses.

Ultimately, the Western Empire disintegrated in 476 AD due to worsening internal problems and invasions by Germanic tribes like the Huns and Vandals.
1 greece geography &
The geography of Greece, consisting of a mountainous peninsula jutting into the Mediterranean Sea, helped shape Greek culture in several ways. The terrain led to the development of independent city-states rather than a unified empire, allowing Greek culture to flourish while politics and military affairs differed between cities. Early cultures like the Minoans, Mycenaeans, and Phoenicians influenced Greek architecture, religion, shipbuilding, and literature. The isolation of the city-states also drove the Greeks to become masters of seafaring.
2 Athenian golden age
During the period from 477 to 431 BC, Athens experienced a cultural and intellectual golden age under the leadership of Pericles. Pericles strengthened Athenian democracy and used the wealth of the Athenian Empire to fund magnificent architecture projects, such as the Parthenon. However, the Peloponnesian War between Athens and Sparta from 431 to 404 BC weakened Athens and ended the Golden Age. After the war, Athenian philosophers like Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle sought philosophical truths through logic and reason.
3 alexander the great
This document provides an overview of Alexander the Great and the spread of Hellenistic culture. It discusses how Philip II united Macedonia and conquered Greece, paving the way for his son Alexander to expand the empire. Alexander then conquered the Persian Empire and continued eastward until his army grew tired. When Alexander died at age 32, his empire broke into three territories between his generals. This resulted in the blending of Greek, Egyptian, Persian and other cultures into Hellenistic civilization.
5 rome becomes empire
Here are the key differences between the Roman Republic and Roman Empire:
- The Roman Republic (509 BC - 27 BC) had a senate and elected officials, while the Roman Empire (27 BC - 476 AD) was ruled by an emperor who had supreme autocratic power.
- The Roman Republic expanded through alliances and adding client kingdoms, while the Empire aggressively expanded its borders through military conquests.
- Socially, the Republic had a strong sense of civic duty and equality under the law for citizens. The Empire had more social stratification with emperors, aristocracy, merchants, freedmen, slaves.
- Economically, the Republic used conquests to gain wealth, resources and tribute.
4 early roman republic
1. The document provides an overview of the origins and early history of Rome, including its transition from kingdom to republic. It discusses the influence of the Latins, Greeks, and Etruscans on early Roman culture.
2. It then focuses on the Punic Wars between Rome and Carthage, in which the brilliant Carthaginian general Hannibal crossed the Alps into Italy but was ultimately defeated by Rome.
3. Rome went on to defeat Carthage in the Third Punic War, extending its power and territory across the Mediterranean and marking its emergence as an early empire that made significant contributions to architecture, democracy, philosophy, and other areas of culture around the world.
Hinduism and budhhism
This document provides an overview of Hinduism and Buddhism, two major religions that originated in ancient India. It discusses key concepts in Hinduism like reincarnation, karma, and dharma. It explains that Hinduism does not have a single founder and incorporates beliefs from various groups over 3,500 years. Buddhism is described as founded by Siddhartha Gautama, known as the Buddha, who taught that suffering can be eliminated by following the Noble Eightfold Path and achieving enlightenment through meditation. The document contrasts some differences between Hinduism and Buddhism and notes how Buddhism spread across Asia while declining in India over time.
Judaism
Judaism originated from the ancient Hebrews who lived in Canaan, now known as Palestine. According to the Torah, God chose Abraham and promised the land of Canaan to his descendants. Moses led the Hebrews out of slavery in Egypt in an event known as the Exodus. The Ten Commandments given to Moses by God on Mount Sinai formed the basis of Jewish religious law. The Kingdom of Israel was established but divided into the northern kingdom of Israel and southern kingdom of Judah. Both kingdoms were later conquered and the first temple was destroyed, though the Hebrews were allowed to return and rebuild the second temple under Persian rule.
Egypt
Ancient Egypt and Nubia were connected along the Nile River. Egypt was united into a kingdom around 3000 BC and entered its Old Kingdom period where many pyramids were built. Egyptian culture was centered around the pharaohs and polytheistic religions. Hieroglyphics developed for writing. The New Kingdom expanded Egypt's power and wealth along the Nile and into surrounding regions until invasions caused the empire to decline. Meanwhile, the Kushite kingdom in Nubia grew powerful, conquering Egypt at times and establishing the city of Meroe as a trade center until declining after 350 AD.
China
This document provides an overview of ancient Chinese civilization, including its geography, earliest dynasties, and cultural developments. It describes how China's isolation due to natural barriers like deserts and mountains allowed civilization to develop independently. The earliest dynasties, like the Xia and Shang, established many cultural traditions still present today, such as respect for ancestors and a unified writing system. The Zhou dynasty expanded on these foundations and established the concept of "Mandate of Heaven" to justify changes in ruling dynasties.
Mesopotamia
The document discusses the rise of civilization in Mesopotamia and Sumer. It describes how villages grew into cities as advances in technology allowed for larger harvests and populations. Civilization is defined as having five characteristics: advanced cities, specialized workers, complex institutions, record keeping, and advanced technology. The Sumerians exemplified these characteristics through their creation of city-states with temples, priests, ziggurats, social classes, and a writing system. Their cities like Ur flourished over 5,000 years ago and influenced later empires through cultural diffusion.
Human migration & beginning of agriculture
Early humans first evolved in Africa between 3-3.5 million years ago, as evidenced by fossils like "Lucy" and footprints found at Laetoli. Starting around 125,000 years ago, Homo sapiens began migrating out of Africa, eventually settling in locations around the world like Europe, Asia, Australia, and the Americas. Approximately 10,000 years ago, the Neolithic Revolution began, marking the start of agriculture. Permanent settlements developed as farming produced more food than hunting and gathering, eventually leading to the rise of early civilizations like Sumer in Mesopotamia.
Economic systems
This document discusses economic systems and the production possibilities frontier. It defines an economic system as the way a country decides to use its resources and production factors. There are three main types of economic systems - traditional, market, and command economies. A traditional economy relies on customs, while a market economy uses supply and demand and a command economy has the government control production. Most countries now use a mixed economy. The production possibilities frontier model shows the maximum combinations of two goods an economy can produce with full efficiency and available resources. Its shape is bowed out due to the law of increasing opportunity costs. The frontier can shift due to economic growth, changes in resources, capital, or technology.

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on Blockchain
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.

12.1 tang and song china
- 1. 12.1 Tang and Song China During the Tang and Song dynasties, China experiences an era of prosperity and technological innovation
- 2. The Tang Dynasty Expands China Brief Reign of the Sui Dynasty Sui Dynasty, established by Wendi, lasts from 581 to 618. Main accomplishment: completing the Grand Canal, which expands trade. Forced labor, high taxes, lead to revolt; Sui emperor is assassinated in 618.
- 3. Tang Rulers Create a Powerful Empire Tang Dynasty (618- 907) begun by brilliant emperor Tang Taizong.
- 4. Wu Zhao—only women in China to assume title of emperor. Tang rulers expand and unify the empire, and strengthen the government.
- 5. Scholar-Officials Tang rulers revive civil service examination system. Theoretically, exams are open to all men, even commoners. Practically, only rich can afford necessary education to take exam. Growth of bureaucracy cuts power of nobles.
- 6. The Tang Lose Power Tang rulers increase taxes in mid-700s, causing hardship. Attacks on empire increase; in 907 the last Tang emperor is killed.
- 7. Song Dynasty Restores China Turmoil Followed by Strong Rule In 960, Taizu reunites China, and proclaims Song Dynasty (960-1279). Song rulers unable to recapture lands lost in the west and north. In 1100s, Jurchen people arise in Manchuria and set up their own empire. In 1127, Song rulers are forced south; build new capital at Hangzhou. Southern Song empire lasts from 1127 to 1279.
- 8. An Era of Prosperity and Innovation Growth Population doubles during Tang and Song Dynasties to 100 million. China becomes the most populous country in the world.
- 9. Science and technology Chinese invent gunpowder, porcelain, mechanical clock, paper money. Movavable type—blocks of individual characters—makes printing easier. In mathematics, Chinese develop the use of negative numbers.
- 10. Su Song’s Astronomical Clock
- 11. Agriculture Advances in farming contribute to population growth. Main advance: new strain of rice that produces two crops a year (Champa rice).
- 12. Trade and Foreign Contacts In early Tang period, trade with the west was over the Silk Road. During Tang decline, Chinese depend more on ocean trade routes. Trade stretches from Japan to Southeast Asia, India, Africa. Trade helps Buddhism spread.
- 13. A Golden Age of Poetry and Art Tang period produces great poetry, including works by Li Bo, and Tu Fu. Song period known for brilliant painting.
- 15. Changes in Chinese Society Levels of Society Power of noble families fades. Wealthy scholar-officials form new upper class, called the gentry. Urban middle class below gentry in social structure
- 16. The Status of Women Status of women always lower than men in China. The status falls even lower during Tang and Song periods. Foot binding of upper-class girls becomes a new custom.
