The Byzantine Empire
The Byzantine Empire preserved Roman and Greek culture after the fall of Rome. It blended these influences with Christianity and Middle Eastern styles. The empire reached its height under Justinian in the 6th century, when he reconquered territory and codified Roman laws. However, constant attacks weakened the Byzantines over time, and the empire ultimately fell to the Ottoman Turks in 1453. The Byzantines left a significant legacy in law, culture, art, and Eastern Orthodox Christianity.
Byzantine ppt 2013
The Byzantine Empire emerged after the fall of Rome, with its capital in Constantinople. It included parts of Europe, Asia, and Africa. Emperor Justinian expanded the empire through conquest but strained its resources. He also codified Roman law and built churches. The Orthodox Church worked closely with the government. Meanwhile, the prophet Muhammad spread Islam through the Middle East and North Africa. The Quran outlined the religion's beliefs and duties. As Islam expanded through trade and war, conquered lands adopted Islamic culture and governance. Non-Muslims faced restrictions and high taxes. Muslim advances in fields like banking, science, and navigation aided their expansion.
Classical Greece
Classical Greece flourished between 2000 BC and 300 BC. Key events included the Minoan and Mycenaean civilizations, the Trojan War, and the rise of Greek city-states like Athens and Sparta between 750 BC and 479 BC. Greece triumphed over Persia in the Persian Wars, and Athens became a cultural center under Pericles. However, years of war between Athens and Sparta weakened Greece, allowing Macedonia and Philip II to conquer it. His son Alexander the Great then built a vast empire through his conquests of Persia, Egypt, and lands as far as India.
Introduction to Ancient Greece powerpoint
The document provides background information on ancient Greece, including its geography, development of city-states, and rivalry between Athens and Sparta. The mountainous landscape of Greece encouraged the formation of independent city-states along the coasts but also isolated communities. Athens developed the world's first democracy while Sparta was known for its powerful warrior culture and discipline. The two city-states eventually went to war in the Peloponnesian War, during which a plague helped lead to Athens' defeat.
Cradle of civilization
Mesopotamia was located between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in the Fertile Crescent. The rivers' seasonal flooding deposited silt that nourished agriculture, allowing civilization to develop. The Sumerians built the first Mesopotamian cities like Ur and Uruk by 3000 BC and invented cuneiform writing and the wheel. Their theocratic city-states were later conquered by the Akkadians and Hammurabi's Babylonian Empire. Key developments included Hammurabi's Code of Laws and the Epic of Gilgamesh.
The Empire of Ghana
The Empire of Ghana existed from 300-1267 CE in West Africa. It grew wealthy by controlling gold trade from the southern rainforests and salt trade from the northern Sahara desert. Ghana's capital, Koumbi Saleh, was located at a strategic crossroads of major trade routes, allowing the kingdom to tax caravans and expand its wealth and borders into an empire. Islamic beliefs from northern traders influenced Ghana's upper class and government, though traditional beliefs were also maintained, contributing to a blending of cultures through trade. However, attacks from the Muslim Almoravids eventually weakened Ghana's trade network and led to its decline.
The Crusades
The document discusses the Crusades, a series of religious wars launched by the Catholic Church between the 11th and 13th centuries with the goal of regaining control of Christian holy sites in Jerusalem from Muslim rule. Pope Urban II initiated the First Crusade by calling on European Christians to fight to reclaim the Holy Land. While the Crusades succeeded in temporarily taking Jerusalem, they ultimately failed in permanently retaking and maintaining control of the Holy Land from Muslim powers like Saladin.
Napoleon
Napoleon Bonaparte rose to power in France during the French Revolution. He established himself as the Emperor of France and expanded French territory across Europe through military conquest. At the height of his power, Napoleon controlled a vast empire stretching from France to Russia. However, his invasion of Russia in 1812 proved disastrous and marked the beginning of his decline in power. After being defeated at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, Napoleon was exiled to St. Helena, where he died in 1821. His reign significantly influenced the development of nationalism and the modernization of legal codes across Europe.

European exploration
The Columbian Exchange resulted in the widespread exchange of plants, animals, and diseases between the Eastern and Western Hemispheres following the voyages of Christopher Columbus in 1492. This large-scale biological and cultural exchange included crops, livestock, commodities, technologies, cultures, languages and peoples between the Americas and the Old World.
Age of Exploration Power Point
The Age of Exploration was a time period when Europeans began extensively exploring the world through advances in shipbuilding, navigation, and sailing technology. Countries like Portugal and Spain led this exploration, with Portugal finding routes around Africa to India and Spain's Christopher Columbus accidentally discovering the Americas while seeking a western route to Asia. This exploration led to massive exchanges of plants, animals, technologies, and diseases between the Old World and New World, as well as the rise of the transatlantic slave trade through the "Triangular Trade" system between Europe, Africa, and the Americas.
The Mongols
The Mongols originated as nomadic tribes from Central Asia. They were united under Genghis Khan, who conquered vast territories across Asia and Eastern Europe using advanced horseback tactics and weaponry like bows and arrows. At its peak, the Mongol Empire stretched from Korea to Eastern Europe and was subdivided and ruled by other powerful Mongol leaders, such as Batu Khan who controlled the Golden Horde in Russia, Tamerlane who ruled over Persia and India, and Kublai Khan who established the Yuan Dynasty in China and ruled over large parts of Asia. Though the Mongols brought periods of stability and promoted trade along the Silk Road, their empire declined after the deaths of strong leaders as it was too
Ancient african civilization
Ancient African Civilizations such as Kush, Axum, Ghana, Mali, Songhai and the Bantu peoples flourished between 750 BCE to 1500CE. They developed complex societies, economies and trade networks across diverse geographical zones in Africa.

Countries sponsored voyages of explorers like Christopher Columbus, Vasco da Gama, and Ferdinand Magellan to circumnavigate the globe and map the Americas and Asia. These explorations established new trade networks for resources like spices, gold, and slaves, and led to the Columbian Exchange of plants, animals, technologies, and diseases between the Old World and New World.
Byzantine Empire
The Byzantine Empire lasted from approximately 500 AD to 1453 AD, overlapping with and continuing the Eastern Roman Empire after the fall of the Western Roman Empire. Some key events included Constantine moving the capital to Constantinople in 330 AD, Justinian recapturing land in the 530s AD but the Empire weakening after his death due to plague and invasions. Religious disputes also weakened the Empire, and over time the aggressive Arab Muslims absorbed more territory until the Ottoman Empire conquered Constantinople in 1453, marking the fall of the Byzantine Empire.
European expansion
European powers expanded their global influence between 1450-1750 due to a desire for trade, resources, and spreading Christianity. Portugal pioneered exploration down the coast of Africa in search of routes to Asia following Marco Polo's accounts of the East. Christopher Columbus' voyages for Spain in 1492 opened up European settlement and colonization of the Americas, though indigenous peoples had long inhabited the lands. Spain and Portugal raced to establish colonial empires in the Americas and Asia, while other powers like England, France, and the Netherlands soon followed to establish North American colonies focused on fur trading and other economic activities. By the 1600s, European colonial holdings had been established across large parts of Africa, Asia, North America, and South America
Ancient greek civilization
Ancient Greece was located in southeastern Europe surrounded by water and mountains. Its climate was moderated by the Mediterranean Sea, resulting in hot, dry summers and mild, rainy winters. Greek civilization began around 2000 BC and was organized into independent city-states like Athens and Sparta. Notable periods included the Golden Age in Athens from 477-431 BC and the Hellenistic Age after Alexander the Great's conquest in 334 BC. Daily life centered around agriculture of crops like olives, grapes, and barley. Society was patriarchal and divided between aristocrats, farmers, and slaves. Religion involved worship of many gods through animal sacrifices.
Decline of Feudalism Summary
Feudalism developed as a political system based on local control by lords loyal to a monarch. It declined due to interactions with the Muslim world bringing new ideas and institutions to Europe. Key factors in its decline included the Magna Carta limiting monarch power, the Hundred Years War weakening nobility, the Peasants' Revolt increasing commoners' rights, influence from the Crusades and Muslim world, and the Black Plague decreasing population and changing the economy. The combined impact of these political, cultural, and social changes caused feudalism to be replaced with stronger centralized government and monarchy.

Greek Geography
The geography of Greece shaped Greek life. As a peninsula surrounded by water on three sides, Greece had many natural harbors. It was difficult to travel overland due to mountains, but the sea allowed Greeks to become skilled sailors and traders who established colonies around the Mediterranean. Two early civilizations, the Minoans and Mycenaeans, influenced Greek culture. The Minoans traded extensively by sea from their base on Crete, while the Mycenaeans built fortresses on the mainland and aggressively expanded their territory through attacks. Both civilizations declined around 1200 BC, plunging Greece into a dark age.
Greek civilisation
The ancient Greek civilizations of the Minoans and Mycenaeans developed trading cultures, with the Minoans controlling trade in the Aegean Sea from Crete and the Mycenaeans later dominating Mediterranean trade.

Lacking natural resources, the Greeks relied heavily on the sea for trade, colonization, and the spread of ideas throughout the Mediterranean region.

Ancient Greece was a civilization that developed in southern Europe, more precisely in the Balkans, extending to the Peloponnese and along the entire Mediterranean coast. This civilization developed from 1100 BC and its history continued until 146 BC when it was ruled by the Romans.
Ancient greece history of civilization
Ancient Greece began around 3000 BC with the Minoan civilization on the island of Crete, led by King Minos. Around 1100 BC, Greece entered a dark age after the fall of the Mycenean civilization. Greek civilization emerged again in the 800s BC as the Greeks explored by sea and established colonies. Ancient Greece consisted of independent city-states like Athens and Sparta that sometimes fought each other but also united against threats like the Persian Empire. Greek civilization made influential contributions to Western culture, including the development of democracy, Olympic games, and advances in science, art, and philosophy.
Ancient greeks the rise of city-states
The document summarizes aspects of ancient Greek civilization. It describes the geography of Greece, including the mountainous landscape divided by valleys that made farming difficult but ideal for raising sheep. It discusses early civilizations like the Minoans and Mycenaeans and a subsequent "Dark Age." It then covers the Trojan War and Homer's literary works that shaped Greek ideals. Finally, it explains how independent city-states or poleis emerged as the most important political units, each with their own government and where citizens participated directly in decision making.
The Origins of Ancient Greece
The document summarizes the geography and early history of classical Greece. It describes how the sea-surrounded landscape divided the land into regions and influenced the development of trade, naval strength, and an outdoor lifestyle. It discusses the Mycenaean civilization from 3000 BC and their dominance after fighting the Trojan War around 1200 BC. The Mycenaean culture declined around 1150 BC, leading to a 400 year "Greek Dark Age" until new tribes migrated in from the north and established city-states like Sparta and Athens between 1100-800 BC.
Ss greek civilization
The document discusses two ancient civilizations - Greece and Rome. It notes that Greece was centered around the seas, while Rome developed around the Tiber River. Greece is known for developing democracy and influencing Western culture through its art, literature, and emphasis on individual rights. Rome expanded through its powerful military organization and system of laws and government.
Greece pp
The geography of ancient Greece shaped Greek life. Greece is a peninsula surrounded by water on three sides, with a second peninsula called the Peloponnesus connected to the rest of Greece by an isthmus. Most of Greece's land was mountainous and unsuitable for farming, forcing many Greeks to establish colonies elsewhere or rely on the sea for trade and food. The earliest Greek civilization, the Mycenaeans, started around 2000 BC in the Peloponnesus and featured gold jewelry, bronze weapons, and fine pottery.
His 2001 4
1. The geography of Greece, with its mountains and coastline, contributed to the development of independent city-states and a sense of liberty among the Greeks. It also pushed the growth of maritime trade and colonization.
2. Athens developed as a center of democracy in the 5th century BCE under Cleisthenes and Pericles. All male citizens could participate directly in the assembly and jury courts.
3. Alexander the Great conquered the Persian Empire and much of Asia from 336-323 BCE through his innovative military tactics. His conquests spread Greek culture and political models across his vast empire.
Erasmus+ presentation of Rhodes
This document provides an introduction and overview of Greece and the island of Rhodes. It discusses the location and geography of Greece, noting it has over 6,000 islands and a coastline of over 13,000 km. It then summarizes some key points in Greek history from ancient expeditions to the Byzantine Empire to gaining independence in the 19th century. The document also introduces Rhodes, the largest island in the Dodecanese, and provides a brief history of the ancient and medieval city of Rhodes when it was ruled by the Knights of St. John. It highlights some popular sites to visit on Rhodes such as Lindos, the Valley of Butterflies, and Filerimos monastery.
Geog greece
- Ancient Greece was not a united country but rather a collection of separate lands inhabited by Greek-speaking people, with the Minoans ruling Crete and Indo-Europeans settling mainland Greece.
- The sea was integral to Greek civilization as most Greeks lived around the sea and used it for transportation and trade to connect to other societies, important due to Greece's lack of natural resources.
- Rugged, mountainous terrain divided Greece into small regions and made overland travel difficult, influencing independent political communities and limiting arable land to about 20% of the total, restricting population size and basic subsistence farming.
Geography Of Ancient Greece
1. The document discusses the ancient Minoan and Mycenaean civilizations that arose on the island of Crete and Greek mainland respectively.
2. The Minoan civilization was a maritime culture that developed an egalitarian society and engaged in artistic pursuits like dancing and boxing. In contrast, the Mycenaeans had a hierarchical militaristic society.
3. Both civilizations flourished for many years but ultimately declined - the Minoans were invaded by the Mycenaeans who occupied Crete, and the Dorian Greeks later invaded ending Mycenaean rule. Elements of both cultures still influenced Classical Greek society.
How Did Geography Affect The Civilizations Of The
The geography of ancient civilizations greatly impacted their development. Along the Nile River, yearly floods provided fertile soil for agriculture but also required flood control structures like dikes. Settlements occurred within 10 miles of the river, and the desert boundaries limited Egypt's expansion. In Mesopotamia, the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers provided fertile soil and attracted other groups, leading to cultural exchange. Floods necessitated centralized government to manage irrigation. Overall, access to water and arable land through major rivers supported population growth and urbanization in these early civilizations.
Ancient Greece
Ancient Greece had a mountainous landscape that isolated different city-states and led to rivalry and warfare between them. Two of the most powerful city-states were Sparta and Athens, which battled for dominance over Greece in the Peloponnesian War beginning in 431 BCE. Early civilizations like the Minoans on Crete and the Mycenaeans on the Greek mainland influenced Greek culture and language.
Early Greece
Ancient Greece was shaped by its mountainous geography, which made overland travel and unification difficult. Many Greeks became sailors and traders. Notable early civilizations included the Minoans of Crete and the Mycenaeans on the mainland. After a Dark Age, city-states emerged in the 8th century BC as independent political units, each with their own government and laws. Athens and Sparta became dominant city-states with different forms of government. Greek culture was also influenced by its polytheistic religion and epic poems like the Iliad and Odyssey.
Ancient Greece. 1º Eso
The document provides an overview of ancient Greek geography, society, and history. It describes Greece as located on the Balkan Peninsula surrounded by seas and islands. Farming was difficult due to thin soil and a dry climate. The Minoan civilization on Crete had large palaces and towns. In 2000 BC, the Mycenaeans settled in Greece and were later known for the Trojan War described in Homer's writings. Greek city-states or poleis like Sparta and Athens were the basic political units, each centered around an acropolis and agora.
