Western civilisation in china
This document provides an overview of the interaction between Western and Chinese cultures from the 13th to 18th centuries. It discusses early travelers like Marco Polo who introduced Western ideas to China. Jesuit missionaries like Matteo Ricci and Johann Adam Schall von Bell then spent decades in China, adapting Western culture and introducing Catholicism and science with the support of Chinese emperors. They made significant contributions such as mapping China, promoting Western architecture, and advising on projects like cannon building. The document examines some of the cultural exchanges and challenges that arose from the initial contacts between Western and Chinese civilizations.
Sub 4ef culture, geography, and government of china
Classical China was geographically isolated along the Huang He River valley. Migratory invaders from the north prompted Qin Shi Huangdi to build the Great Wall for defense. China was ruled by a succession of dynasties, with rulers holding the Mandate of Heaven to rule as long as their rule was just. The Silk Road connected China to other cultures as far as Rome, and China contributed innovations like paper, porcelain, silk, and the civil service examination system.
Koreajapan
This document summarizes the spread of Chinese civilization to Korea, Japan, and Vietnam during the medieval period. It discusses how Korea, Japan, and Vietnam all adopted Chinese writing systems, political structures like the bureaucracy, Confucianism, and Mahayana Buddhism. However, each country also retained elements of their own cultures and aristocracies remained powerful, preventing full domination by China. Korea and Japan in particular imitated aspects of Chinese Tang and Song dynasties but continued to have independent rulers. Vietnam absorbed some Chinese influences while Theravada Buddhism from India also took hold.
Islam & Islamic Empire intro

Islam & Islamic Civ - Spread and CCOT
The Islamic Empire expanded trade networks by establishing stability and low taxes along trading routes. It gained control over Mediterranean, Silk Road, and Indian Ocean trade. This spread of Islam influenced other cultures as Arabic culture was adopted, while Islamic cultures also borrowed from places like Persia. Core beliefs in Islam like the Quran, Five Pillars, and figure of the Caliph provided continuity, though a split emerged between Sunni and Shia views of leadership succession after Muhammad.
Three Classical Chinese Dynasties
The Zhou, Qin, and Han dynasties were three early dynasties in Chinese history. The Zhou dynasty established feudalism and saw technological advances like iron and silk production. It declined due to warring states fighting for power. The Qin dynasty united China under a centralized government with the first emperor, Qin Shihuangdi, who standardized laws and measurement. Notable constructions included the Great Wall and terracotta army. The Han dynasty expanded the empire through trade along the Silk Road and established a civil service system, but declined after the death of the emperor Wudi.

Review 1750 1900 2
This document summarizes the decline of three major empires - the Ottoman Empire, Qing Chinese Empire, and Japanese Empire - between 1750-1900 as well as the rise of European imperialism during this period. It discusses how the Ottoman and Qing Empires resisted economic change and underestimated European power, leading to their decline, while Japan modernized and industrialized without foreign debt to avoid this fate. It also outlines how Europeans colonized much of Africa and Asia in this era due to new technologies, ideologies of racial superiority, and pursuit of profits from new territories.
Imperialism 2014
Industrialized nations like European powers, the United States, Russia, and later Japan strengthened control over their colonies and established overseas empires in Asia, Africa, and the Pacific between the 18th-19th centuries. They did so to gain profits from trade, capture markets for factory goods, absorb excess population, and achieve national prestige. Imperialism involved exploiting weaker nations' resources and asserting the dominance of European races through the ideology of social Darwinism. Colonizers used military might, alliances with local elites, and economic coercion to partition and dominate Africa and Asia.
Imperialism second wave
The document summarizes the second wave of European colonial conquests from 1750-1900. It involved new European powers like Germany, Italy, Belgium, the US, and Japan expanding their colonies to South and Southeast Asia, Africa, and the Pacific Islands. The colonies were divided into "white colonies" like Canada, Australia and New Zealand that were settlements for Europeans, and "non-white colonies" in Asia and Africa that were ruled indirectly through local elites but controlled by European governments from abroad. By the late 1800s, European powers had partitioned most of Africa at the Berlin Conference and established control over 90% of the land by 1914.
Japan meiji 1700s-1900s
Under the Tokugawa shogunate in the early 1600s, Japan pursued a policy of isolationism, expelling foreigners and prohibiting the Japanese from leaving. However, in the 1800s-1900s, outside pressures from Western powers and a desire for change led Japan to transform itself from a closed, feudal society into a major industrial and military world power through adopting Western ideas and institutions while maintaining independence. The Meiji government oversaw Japan's rapid modernization through industrialization, building infrastructure like railroads, expanding the military, and sending students abroad to learn from Europe. By the early 1900s, Japan had become an imperialist power that gained control of territories like Korea, Taiwan, and Manchuria.
Ottoman & qing 1750 1900s
Between 1750 and 1900, the Ottoman Empire and Qing Dynasty of China experienced turbulent times as industrialized European nations extended their political and economic control overseas through imperialism. Both empires resisted economic changes and faced challenges like nationalist revolts and loss of territory to European powers. By the late 1800s, the Ottoman Empire was seen as weak and the Qing Dynasty struggled against European incursions including the Opium Wars, leading to their eventual collapse in the early 20th century.

Imperialism involved the political and economic domination of weaker nations by stronger industrialized countries through military force, cooperation with local elites, and the use of new technologies like guns and steam ships.
Industrial revolution changes
The Industrial Revolution transformed societies through industrialization in Western Europe, the United States, and later Japan during the 19th century. It introduced factories powered by new technologies like steam engines, which replaced human and animal labor. This led to massive social changes like urbanization, new divisions of social class, and changes in family structures. While industrialization provided economic growth and technological progress, it also had negative consequences for workers and the environment, including dangerous working conditions, pollution, low wages, and lack of regulations. Responses to these issues included government reforms and the rise of labor unions and radical groups advocating for workers' rights.
