Ch. 5 Sec. 3 Expansion of Europe
The document discusses the Crusades from the 11th-13th centuries. It provides details on:
- Pope Urban II's call for the Crusades in 1095 in response to the Seljuk Turks cutting off access to Jerusalem. The first Crusade regained control of Jerusalem but other Crusades were unsuccessful.
- The motives for the Crusades included expanding the Roman Church's influence, and gaining wealth and land for nobles and merchants.
- The results of the Crusades included thousands of deaths, the Holy Land eventually being lost again to Muslims, and the spread of knowledge and technology from Muslims and the Byzantine Empire to Europe.
Anglo Saxon 3a
This document summarizes the history of England from pre-Roman times through the Norman Conquest in three main periods. It first discusses the pre-Roman Celtic inhabitants including the Druids and their animist religion. It then outlines the Roman occupation from 55 BC to 410 AD, including the construction of Hadrian's Wall. Finally, it notes the Anglo-Saxon period following the Roman withdrawal, Christianization beginning with St. Augustine, and continuing until the Norman Conquest in 1066.
KKK
The Ku Klux Klan was a white supremacist group that targeted African Americans, Jews, Catholics and other minorities in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. They believed these groups were un-American and sought to eliminate them through violent acts like lynchings, cross burnings and shootings. At their peak, the KKK had millions of members and used intimidation tactics and public gatherings to spread their message of hate.
Voyages of discovery
The document discusses the reasons for and key figures in early voyages of discovery eastwards. Muslims controlled trade routes like the Silk Road and taxed goods heavily, creating demand for alternative routes. Technological advances in navigation, ship designs, and weapons enabled explorers like Prince Henry the Navigator, Bartolomeu Dias, and Vasco da Gama to seek new trade routes by sea for reasons of profit, religion, and exploration. Dias was the first to sail around the southern tip of Africa, named Cape of Good Hope, while Da Gama established the first direct ocean route from Europe to India.
European contact with africa
The Portuguese were the first Europeans to extensively explore and establish trade relationships along the west coast of Africa between the 15th and 16th centuries. They sought to circumvent Arab control of trade routes and gain access to gold and other resources. Key events included establishing coastal forts and trading posts, Diaz rounding the Cape of Good Hope in 1488, and da Gama's voyage connecting Europe and India around the Cape in 1497-1499. The Dutch later supplanted Portuguese control over sea trade and began regularly rounding the Cape of Good Hope in the 16th century to establish resupply stations for trade with Asia.
Netherland Exploration PPT
The Dutch became wealthy through trade in the late 1500s and sought to maintain their wealth by colonizing new lands. They supported exploration through companies like the Dutch East India Company and Dutch West India Company. Explorers went to areas like the Caribbean and South America between the 1600s-1700s. Voyages were financed by the government, merchants, and companies. The Dutch made claims to territories and viewed indigenous people as inferior to Europeans, enslaving Africans. The companies later declined due to issues like corruption and environmental changes. The Dutch benefited economically and politically from increased trade and removing power from rivals.
Modern age
The document summarizes key developments during the Modern Age from 1492 to 1848. It describes how kingdoms joined into nations with kings, ministers, and nobility during this period. There was significant exploration and colonization which led to new trade goods from places like America. Banking was established. The social structure remained stratified but tensions grew between social classes. Significant scientific advancements were also made through inventions. The document then focuses on specific events like the failed Gunpowder Plot by Guy Fawkes in 1605 to blow up the English Parliament.

California
This document provides a summary of the history of California as told in Brandon Richards' book "California: A History". It discusses early myths about California being ruled by Queen Calafia and a race of black Amazons. It also summarizes key aspects of California's geography, Native American history, technological innovations, diversity, and challenges with immigration. The document is divided into multiple chapters that each provide context and details on different eras and aspects of California's development.
California - Brandon Richards Hist. 141
California has a long history dating back to myths of Queen Calafia and the indigenous Californians who rode griffins and fought with gold weapons. Over 25 generations of native peoples inhabited California prior to European contact. California has been at the forefront of technological innovation in fields like aviation, computing, and biotechnology. The state is known for its diversity but has also experienced periods of discrimination, such as anti-Chinese and anti-Japanese sentiments in the late 19th century and racial tensions in the 1960s and 1990s. Current debates include policies around illegal immigration and language education.

Indigenous voyaging polynesian navigation1 overview§ portuguese
Indigenous peoples in the Pacific had sophisticated navigational knowledge and skills that allowed them to settle thousands of islands across the vast Pacific Ocean over thousands of years, long before European contact. They used celestial navigation, observing the positions of stars and constellations, to navigate the open ocean in large, oceangoing vessels. Archaeological, linguistic and genetic evidence shows their migration originated in Taiwan and dispersed south and east through Island Southeast Asia and the Pacific.
Age Of Discovery Essay
The Age of Exploration led to many discoveries and changes in Europe. Explorers from different European countries embarked on journeys seeking wealth from new trade routes to Asia and the Spice Islands. This led to the discovery of the New World and new opportunities for countries to establish colonies and trade goods. The influx of wealth from these new sources transformed Europe's economy and led to the Commercial Revolution with the establishment of new businesses and industries. However, contact and conquest of native peoples also led to devastating epidemics as diseases were unintentionally spread from Europe to populations lacking immunity.
Age Of Exploration
The document discusses how exploration has changed and stayed the same over time. It notes that while modes of transportation have changed from boats to space shuttles, the destinations have expanded from uncharted earth territories to outer space. A key continuity is that the reason for exploration - curiosity and seeking resources - remains the same. Extensive training is required for all explorers, whether Polynesian voyagers or astronauts.
Big History
This document summarizes several sources related to big history and the development of civilization. It discusses how early humans shared information through oral traditions and innovations like the printing press. It also summarizes Spencer Wells' work tracing human migration patterns out of Africa using genetic markers in DNA. The document then summarizes sources on natural disasters like the Krakatoa volcano eruption in 535 CE that caused global climate change and civilization collapses. Finally, it summarizes theories from Guns, Germs and Steel about how geographic factors contributed to European dominance and discussions of the role of trade, particularly the search for spices, in motivating European exploration like Columbus' voyages.

Source A.
The Aztecs believed they lived in the age of the Fifth Sun. Four times previously, they wrote, the earth and all the people who lived on it had been destroyed. They predicted their own world would end in earthquakes and hunger. In the Aztec year Thirteen Flint, volcanoes erupted, sickness and hunger spread, wild beasts attacked children, and an eclipse of the sun darkened the sky. Did some priest wonder whether the Fifth Sun was approaching its end? In time, the Aztecs learned that Europeans called the year Thirteen Flint 1492.

Technological advances and the growing strength of newly powerful national rulers made possible the European explorations of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Each country craved easy access to African and Asian goods—silk, dyes, perfumes, jewels, sugar, gold, and especially spices. Pepper, cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg were desirable not only for seasoning food but also because they were believed to have medicinal and magical properties. Their allure stemmed largely from their rarity, their extraordinary cost, and their mysterious origins. They passed through so many hands en route to London or Seville that no European knew exactly where they came from. (Nutmeg, for example, grew only on nine tiny islands in the Moluccas, now eastern Indonesia.) Avoiding intermediaries in Venice and Constantinople, and acquiring such valuable products directly, would improve a nation’s balance of trade and its standing relative to other countries, in addition to supplying its wealthy leaders with coveted luxury items.

Diseases carried west from Europe and Africa had a devastating impact on the Americas. Indians fell victim to microbes that had long infested the other continents and had repeatedly killed hundreds of thousands but had also often left survivors with some measure of immunity. The statistics from these virgin-soil epidemics are staggering. When Columbus landed on Hispaniola in 1492, approximately half a million people resided there. Fifty years later, that island had fewer than two thousand native inhabitants. Within thirty years of the first landfall at Guanahaní, not one Taíno survived in the Bahamas.
Although measles, typhus, influenza, malaria, and other illnesses severely afflicted the native peoples, the greatest killer was smallpox, spread primarily by direct human contact. Overall, historians estimate that the long-term effects of the alien microorganisms could have reduced the pre.
Essay On Age Of Exploration
The Age of Exploration from the 15th to 16th centuries led to major global impacts as explorers like Columbus, da Gama, and Magellan sought new trade routes to Asia but instead encountered unknown lands and peoples. Their voyages resulted in the exchange of goods, diseases, and the mixing of populations between the Old World and New World, permanently altering the course of world history.
Theme #19 For want of a nail . . . ~ how technology has affected.docx
Theme #19 "For want of a nail . . ." ~ how technology has affected history
Without Europe’s ability to create advanced technology they would have never been able to reach the New World. Advanced technologies such as better boats that allowed for sailors to sail farther, faster, and for longer periods of time. Once they had reached the shores of the New World they introduced many new things to the Natives, such as horses and weapons and certain items of clothing that these people have never seen before. These tools were so much farther advanced than anything that the natives owned or could create and that that was a big part of why the Natives fell to the power of the Europeans so quickly because the Europeans were so technology advanced and had been masters of war for decades before the Natives even knew that such a type of people or weapons could exist. “Their superior weapons, organizational skills, and determination brought them incredible success in their new environment,” (Duiker & Spielvogel, Mindtap 14-2c). In just a short amount of time because of their advanced technology the Europeans were able to conquer the Aztecs and the Inca Empires and were able to claim their land; that if it was not for their technology, this would have not happened thus greatly changing how history has played out and America today would look a lot differently.
#8. Race and History (Ethnicity and History) ~ “them versus us” scenarios
One major historical event that has affected so many people was the slave trade. This was going on before the European ships arrived off the coast of West Africa, but the slave trade really increased after they showed up. The slaves were treated horribly and were striped away of all their freedom and dignity. It was said that they were “thoroughly examined, even to the smallest member, and that naked too, both men and women, without the least distinction or modesty”(Slavery in Africa: A Firsthand Report, Mindtap, 14-4c). They were held in a prison where they were barely fed and then forced onto ships where they were separated by sex into two sides. The were striped of their clothing when boarding the ship and were ordered to stand as close together as possible which caused for extreme overcrowding. The slave trade became so widely popular for European merchants because it was a major source of income for them. It became a huge trading system and the book states that, “Europeans obtained their slaves by traditional means, purchasing them from local African merchants at the infamous slave markets in exchange for gold, guns, or other European manufactured goods such as textiles, copper, or iron utensils (Duiker and Spielvogel, Mindtap 14-4c). The slave merchants and the Europeans treated the slaves like property and it was an extremely difficult time for those whose race and ethnicity qualified them as slaves.

The document discusses the steps involved in requesting writing assistance from HelpWriting.net. It outlines 5 steps: 1) Create an account with a password and email. 2) Complete a 10-minute order form providing instructions, sources, and deadline. 3) Review bids from writers and choose one based on qualifications. 4) Review the completed paper and authorize payment if satisfied. 5) Request revisions to ensure needs are fully met, with a refund offered for plagiarized work.
Why did Europeans explore the World?
Europeans in the 15th century knew little about areas beyond Europe. The Atlantic Ocean was seen as too vast to cross and Africa was believed to be too large to sail around. Improvements in shipbuilding technology and navigation instruments eventually enabled explorers like Bartolomeu Dias and Vasco da Gama to explore the coast of Africa, hoping to find a trade route to India and spread Christianity. This led to Europe's age of discovery and greater geographical knowledge of the world.

The document discusses the rise and spread of English as a global language. It traces the history of English from its origins as Old English brought by Germanic tribes to England in the 5th century CE. Key events that contributed to English becoming a widespread language include the Norman invasion of 1066 which introduced French vocabulary, the printing press arriving in England in the 15th century, and the British Empire expanding globally between the 17th-20th centuries, establishing English as a major language in parts of North America, Africa, Asia, the Caribbean and Pacific. The widespread use of English today has roots in Britain's colonial legacy and continued cultural influence over the past few centuries.

Why did Europeans explore the World?
Europeans in the 15th century knew little about areas beyond Europe. The Atlantic Ocean was seen as too vast to cross and Africa was believed to be too large to sail around. Improvements in shipbuilding technology and navigation instruments eventually enabled explorers like Bartolomeu Dias and Vasco da Gama to explore the coast of Africa, hoping to find a trade route to India and spread Christianity. This led to Europe's age of discovery and greater geographical knowledge of the world.
13-Ling-122-01---The-History-of-English.ppt
The document discusses the rise and spread of English as a global language. It traces the history of English from its origins as Old English brought by Germanic tribes to England in the 5th century CE. Key events that contributed to English becoming a widespread language include the Norman invasion of 1066 which introduced French vocabulary, the printing press arriving in England in the 15th century, and the British Empire expanding globally between the 17th-20th centuries, establishing English as a major language in parts of North America, Africa, Asia, the Caribbean and Pacific. The widespread use of English today has roots in Britain's colonial legacy and continued cultural influence over the past few centuries.

Da Silva F
The navigator we call Columbus never used such a name in his life. On his sigla, on letters and documents written in his hand, he always used a different form, which Dr. da Silva will prove is in fact from Portugal. This fascinating and thorough presentation lays the groundwork for future presentations in which Dr. da Silva will prove that the Portuguese were early explorers to North America and that this is one way Columbus knew where he was going in 1492.

This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
