The document provides information on China and Korea during the Tang and Song dynasties in China. It summarizes that during this era, China was one of the most advanced civilizations in the world under the Tang dynasty which ruled for almost 300 years. It then discusses the Chinese bureaucracy and civil service examination system. In Korea, three kingdoms emerged during this period: Goguryeo, Baekje and Silla. The Silla kingdom eventually defeated the other two and unified Korea. The document then shifts to discussing the Song dynasty in China, noting its prosperity, advancements, and changes to society including the rise of a new upper class called the gentry. Trade and foreign relations expanded significantly under the Song. The Mong

Expansion and Isolationism in Eurasia
How did approaches to cultural interaction shape empires in Eurasia?
Introduction
In 1279, under the leadership of Kublai Khan, the Mongols ousted the Song dynasty
and completed their conquest of China. As they
took control, they established the Yuan dynasty,
with Kublai Khan serving as emperor. However,
Mongol rule over China was relatively short lived.
Within 100 years, the Yuan dynasty would be
forced out by Chinese rebels.
Under Mongol rule, the Chinese became
increasingly angered by policies that favored
Mongols and foreigners. This anger and resentment
eventually resulted in unrest. Around 1350, small
states in China began to emerge to fight the
Mongols. Chinese leaders turned to military force to
advance their interests and establish regional
power. Some leaders were members of the upper class, and others were religious
leaders or bandits supported by peasants. By the middle of the 1350s, these Chinese
powers were united in their campaign to get rid of Mongol rule.
The years of ongoing warfare spurred military innovation among the Chinese.
Although the Mongols had access to gunpowder weapons, they did not develop new
technologies. In contrast, the first large cannons in China were manufactured by the
Chinese rebels. While the term “Gunpowder Empire” is often associated with the
Ottoman Empire, the Safavid Empire, and the Mughal Empire, the Chinese
advancements in gunpowder weaponry has led some historians to regard Ming China
as the world’s first gunpowder empire.

Expansion and Isolationism in Eurasia
How did approaches to cultural interaction shape empires in Eurasia?
In this lesson, you will learn about three countries in Eurasia that used gunpowder
to expand and maintain their control: China, Japan, and Russia. You will consider the
rise and fall of the Ming and Qing dynasties in China. You will examine the unification of
Japan under the Tokugawa. Finally, you will explore the growth of the Russian Empire
during the Romanov dynasty.
Section 1. China Under the Ming and Qing
Between the 14th and the early 20th centuries,
two dynasties governed China: the Ming and the Qing.
Both dynasties took power during times of upheaval.
To restore order, they established strong, centralized
rule and revived traditional Chinese values, including
Confucian ideals.
The Ming Revival By the mid-1300s, China was in
turmoil. The Mongols’ hold on power had became
unstable. Disease and natural disasters had weakened
the Mongol grip. Additionally, feuds broke out within the government, leaving the
countryside unprotected against bandits and rebels.
As life became more dangerous and difficult, Chinese peasants grew increasingly
frustrated with the incompetence of their rulers. Led by Zhu Yuanzhang, a peasant
uprising successfully invaded the city of Nanjing. In 1368, aided by gunpowder
weapons, Zhu and his army capt ...
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. PROSPEROUS CHINA
During this era of the “European Middle
Ages”, China was arguably the most
advanced place on earth.
Despite a series of Wars and many dynasties
rising and falling, the Tang Dynasty was able to
bring together China and rule for almost 300
years. The Tang emperor who began these
achievements was Tang Taizong.
3. In the 600s the Chinese would expand their
influences by growing West, and also taking
control over what would be modern day Korea.
4. CHINESE BUREAUCRACY
One way the Chinese managed to keep a
large empire, and a large bureaucracy
efficient was through the civil service
examination system.
This exam was open to all men including the
commoner. However, it was only the
wealthy who had the educational resources to
prepare for these standardized tests.
5. DRAWING HISTORICAL
CONNECTIONS
This concept of exams leading towards
success is still a strong component in Eastern
Asia, where in nations like China, Japan and
South Korea a single exam can decide a
students’ Universities admission.
How do these Chinese,
Korean, Japanese College
Entrance Exams provide
unfair advantages?
6. Assignment: You are a college admissions persons for
KIS University.
You get to determine a student’s admission based
upon their:
GPA, SAT Score, Extra-curricular activities (including
sports), personal statement.
Provide an exact % for each of these categories
(your total should be 100%).
KIS JEJU
We will come back to this later.
8. BIG CITY BIG STATE
Census’s show that
Chang’an (todays Xian) the
capital was the largest city
at the time. Furthermore, it
showed that the state of
50-80 million people was
the largest state at the time
as well.
Comparable
to today
9. Fall of Economy
Anti-Foreign sentiments
During the late Tang period the economy was doing poorly.
The emperor Wu-tsung, a devout Taoist, attempted to
eliminate Buddhism from 843 to 845 by closing thousands of
temples.
The decline of Buddhism and conflicts between the Chinese
and foreign traders marked the beginning of a change in
Chinese attitudes. After hundreds of years of
cultural exchange, by 836 C.E. no foreigners
would be welcome in China.
http://www.ushistory.org/civ/9d.asp
10. THE FALL OF THE TANG
After imposing taxes that were too
high internal dissent began.
At the same period, from the West, Arab
forces begun to chip at the Tang Dynasty.
Unable to recuperate, the Tang would fall
in 907 when their capital was raided, and
their emperor (Ch’ang-an) is murdered.
12. THE SONG
Small is beautiful: The empire of the Song
was not as large as the Tang, however, it was
stable, powerful and prosperous.
They managed to keep out northern rebels by buying
them out with silver, silk and tea.
The capital was Hangzhou.
During the same period the Manchurian people took
over the Northern parts of China.
13.
14. SONG PROSPERITY
During this period China had…
-At least 10 cities with over 1 million people.
-A population of over 100 million.
Countries: # of cities with
+1 million in 2017
USA: 10, S. Korea: 9, Germany: 4
15. ADVANCEMENTS
Agriculture: improvement on cultivating rice.
Using the silk road, trade flourished. Also, advanced
sailing technology helped the Chinese trade via ocean/
sea.
16. Successful Trade
Unlike the Tang, foreign
relations and trade were
critical for growth.
The dynasty set up major
harbors at Quanzhou,
Guangzhou and Xiamen.
The government built a
major navy to protect
merchant shipping.
17. CHANGES IN SOCIETY
Greater roads and advanced sailing created a far
more mobile population.
A new upper class was called the gentry, a group that
attained their status through education and civil service
positions rather than land ownership.
Women were already deemed lower than men in status,
but during the Tang and Song Dynasties it became
worse. One symbol of this change was the custom of
“foot binding”.
18.
19. Women in the 21st century and “feet”
Are high heels the “foot-binding of the 21st
century”? Why yes or why no?
20. Chinese consistency
What partly attributed towards the
constant growth in arts, invention
and culture of the Chinese is their
consistency in ancient texts.
Starting as early as 1045BC, the
Chinese had a common language
for 2000 years.
23. Of all the inventions listed on the
previous page, which one do you think
had the most long lasting impact? Why?
What are some modern inventions that
you believe will still have an impact
1,000 years from now?
24. The Song were attacked by the Mongols
led by Kublai Khan. After several
decades of fighting their capital was
taken, and the empire ended in 1279.
26. INTRODUCTION
The physical geography of where the
Mongols lived played a major role in shaping
their society.
Where they lived, temperatures would
range from negative 50 degrees up to
35 degrees in the summer.
This meant that they had to move West or
South to find better land to survive.
27.
28. NOMADIC
The Mongols were Nomadic people who
domesticated animals and took them
everywhere they went in order to feed them.
This led towards battles amongst the
Mongols for right to fields and water.
29. GENGHIS KHAN
Born as Temujin, he unites all the Mongol tribes.
He accepts the title Genghis Khan, meaning
“Universal Ruler”.
For 21 years, he would go on to lead his united
group of Nomads conquering various parts of
Asia, establishing one of the largest Empires in history
He first invaded the Jin Empire in 1211, followed
by the Western lands where Muslims lived in
Central Asia.
32. Genghis Khans
Success in 3 Pts
1. Organization: He was able to gather his military
in brigades and companies/units.
2. Strategist: He would use tricks like luring enemies
in with a smaller military than ambushing from the
sides.
3. Cruelty: He would terrify enemies into surrender.
33. Superb on horse.
Able to travel up to 120 miles a day.
Incredibly tough. If they lacked food, they
would create a small gash in the horses neck
and drink horse blood for sustenance.
MONGOL SOLDIERS
Pax Mongolica (Mongol Peace) 1200-1300
34.
35. KUBLAI KHAN
The grandson of Genghis Khan
who took over from 1260.
He starts off by overwhelming the
Chinese military in 1279.
He then takes over as China’s
new emperor and founds the
Yuan Dynasty, uniting China.
36. MONGOLS IN CHINA
Restored the Grand Canal.
Built a paved highway.
Foreign trade increased (Due to
the Mongols creating safe travel
routes).
Kublai invited foreign merchants to
further increase trade, the most famous
among them being, Marco Polo.
37. MARCO POLO 1254?-1324
Fluent in Asian languages and serves in
Kublai Khan’s court for 17 years.
Marco Polo’s information was introduced to
Europeans in a rather unorthodox
way. When he was captured and
imprisoned during a war, he
told his fellow prisoners his stories
about China. There, one of the
prisoners kept notes of what Polo
said, and wrote a book on based on
his stories.
38. THE MONGOL DEMISE
Outside: The Mongols were waging wars on southeast
Asia and Japan, which were unsuccessful.
Domestic: High taxes were angering the Chinese.
Khan’s death: led towards a power struggle in 1294,
which did not help keep down the riots that occurred
throughout China during that time.
1368, the Mongols are overthrown by the Chinese,
around the same time the rest of the Mongol Empire
began to disintegrate.
39. MONGOL LEGACY
1. Mongols reinvigorated Eurasian trade.
2. Created the Yam System (delivery).
3. Tolerant of different religions. They didn’t ask
people they conquered to convert.
4. Incredibly brutal. Often destroying entire cities, the
numbers they killed could have exceeded 1 million.
5. Not interested in architecture (therefore very little
Mongol architecture is left today).
Crash Course History
40. Too Big to Administer
Upon the death of Genghis Khan, his
empire was left for his three sons.
Different areas of the empire were
administered by different sons. The areas
were administered separately, and each
territory would last a different amount of
itme, but by the 1600s, they would all
disspear, with the Chaghatai Dynasty
being the last to fall.
41. Mongolia Today
Capital: Ulan Bator (Coldest capital city
in the world!)
HUGE Country: You could fit the South
Korea into Mongolia over fifteen times!
Buddhism: is the dominate religion
Economy: Average GDP per Capita is not
very high at $4,056 a year, roughly equal to
nations such as Vietnam, Ghana and Laos.
http://www.mongolia-travel-guide.com/mongolia-facts.html
43. JAPANS GEOGRAPHY
500 miles from China meant that Japan
received various cultural influences, yet
was distant enough to avoid invasion.
The country had rainfall, but only 12%
of the land was suitable for farming.
There were numerous earthquakes and
tidal waves, and many natural disasters.
44.
45. EARLY PHASES
The main religion was Shinto.
The nation was not united, instead various
tribes and local lords had control over their
own areas.
However, by the 7th century the Yamato clan
claim to be the descendants of the sun god
Amateras, and call themselves the emperors of
the nation.
46. The Capital Moves
Capital moves to what is today
known as Kyoto.
Kyoto will remain
the capital for
Japan until 1868, when the
government relocates the
capital to Tokyo.
47. CULTURE
Buddhism: Brought in by Korean travelers.
Due to the similarity with Shintoism, many people
blended various practices of the two together.
Writing: The Japanese adopted the Chinese system of
writing.
Government: The Japanese attempted to model the
Tang rulers who had a civil-service system, but this fails.
Control remained in the hands a few families.
48.
49. Large land owners begun to set up
private militaries. They would have
numerous Samurai, body guards
who would be loyal and follow their
masters orders.
50. The samurai code was called Bushido.
During the late 1100s, the two strongest clans in
Japan fought, the Minamoto leader won, and he was
given the title, shogun, or “supreme general”.
Japan was able to fight off two naval invasions sent
by Kublai Khan in 1274 and 1281.
51. -Chivalry
-Shields and spear
-Iron
-Large groups
-Pledged loyalty to lord.
-Code of honors
-Swords
-Publicly, below lords, but
above peasants/merchants.
-Bushido
-Bow and arrow, katana
-Steel
-Sandals
Medieval Warfare Today
52. Samurai Domination
The Samurai would go on to dominate
politics in Japan until the Meiji restoration
in the late 1800s.
The introduction of Western weapons,
and the government opened up by the
West led to a final showdown between the
government and the Samurai.
53. Perry &
Takamori
Perry first arrived to Japan
in 1853, intimidating the
Japanese with a powerful
fleet with cannons. He
returned in 1854, and
ordered the Japanese
ports to open for trade.
Japan, completely out
gunned reluctantly opened
ports up to the USA.
Takamori is often cited
as the “Last Samurai”,
given his last stand
against the Japanese
government in 1877
(The Satsuma
Rebellion).
54. Meiji Reformation (Grade 10)
Refers to the large reformation made by the
Japanese government under Emperor Meiji in
the late1800’s.
Took place in Japan after being forced to open
ports by General Perry and the US navy.
Japan sought to catch up to Europe through
modernizing their governments, military,
politics, food and clothing through following
various Western models.

56. Concept to Consider
What did Japan gain through
Westernization / modernization?
What did Japan lose through

59. GEOGRAPHY
Warm, humid and occasional monsoons.
On the mainland, five great rivers flow from the
North and cut valleys to the seas.
The key to power in southeast Asia is control
of the harbors.
60. INDIA AND CHINA
This area of the world has been influenced by these
two areas.
Hindu and Buddhist missionaries have
spread their faiths, while India in many ways
shaped the region’s culture, language, and art.
Chinese politically influenced the areas in
southeast Asia.
61. KHMER
EMPIRE
The Khmer Empire would span across what
would be today’s Cambodia, Thailand, Laos and
Southern Vietnam.
The empire peaked around 1200.
The Khmer’s capital was Angkor, within he
capital elaborate and extensive city temples were
built, the most famous one being Angkor Wat.
66. Reason for Collapse?
Is unclear. But several theories exist.
1. War with neighboring states.
2. Over-population
3. Lengthy drought.
http://archaeology.about.com/od/medieval/qt/Collapse-Of-Angkor.htm
Lack of documentation
from the 14-15th century.
68. MYTHICAL BEGINNINGS
According to legends, the first Korean state
was founded by hero Tan’gun, whose father
was a god and mother was a bear.
Adopted many aspects of Chinese culture.
69. GEOGRAPHY
Much of the land is mountainous and only a
limited portion of the land is good for farming.
A mountain barrier exists between Korea and
Manchuria, which created a type of isolation.
70.
71. EARLY HISTORY
In 108BC the Han Dynasty took over Korea,
where they established a military government.
Through the Chinese, ideas such as centralized
government, Confucianism, Buddhism and
writing were passed on.
In the mid-600s, the Silla Kingdom was able to
defeat other Korean Kingdoms and drive the
Han Dynasty out of Korea.
73. GYEONGJU
It was the capital for the Silla Kingdom
and is the home for many Buddhist
monuments and UNESCO heritage sites.
74.
75.
76. Under the Silla, there were various
Buddhist monasteries that were built
and a new type of writing system, one that
was suitable for writing Korean
phonetically through still using Chinese
characters.
Led by the rebel Wang Kon, the rebels
took over Silla Kingdoms in 935AD.
He would go on to name this new
Kingdom as the Koryu Dynasty.
77.
78. KORYU DYNASTY
The Koryu attempted to create a civil
service model like the Chinese had.
However, this failed, and the sons
of nobles continued to receive the best
positions.
Between 1231-1392 the Koryu were
occupied by the Mongolians.
79. The Koryu Rule
During the Koryu period, the people who
lived there had generally positive relations
with China and adopted various aspects of
Chinese culture and political systems.
The downfall of the Empire would derive
from its military. The military was not treated
well by the empire and as result, the military
would stage a coup d’etat and rule the final
years of the Koryu as a military regime.
80. Yi and Hanyang
Founded by Taejo Yi
Seong-gye.
The capital was set
to Hanyang (Which
would later on
become Seoul).
http://www.britannica.com/topic/Choson-dynasty
In theory, any person could
become Yangban by passing
81. Yi (Choson) Dynasty.
The Chosen Dynasty or Yi Dynasty begins
from 1392 and lasts until the 20th century,
despite numerous periods of occupation/war
(Japan 1592-98, Manchu 1627-, 1910-1945 Japan).
The capital of the Kingdom was established at
Hanyang (todays Seoul).
It was during this period that Hangul was
invented.
82. The Yangban
A new class called Yangban would
emerge during this period.
Unlike previous dynasties, land was not
limited to high ranking bureaucrats, but
were also redistributed towards along
scholar-officials, known as Yangban.
