The Inca civilization originated in Peru and grew to cover over 2,500 miles across western South America by the 15th century, comprising the largest empire in the pre-Columbian Americas with over 12 million subjects. Ruled by a divine king known as the Sapa Inca, the Inca engineered impressive infrastructure like a vast road system and developed innovative techniques for record keeping without writing. At its height, the Inca empire was a highly organized society that could relay messages across its territories faster than any system in the world at that time.
The document provides information about South American civilizations including the Inca and Maya civilizations. It describes the Inca's political history and vast empire stretching from Ecuador to Chile. It discusses the Inca's social organization with a strict hierarchy ruled by an emperor. It also covers the Maya's locations in southern Mexico and Central America, their political decline in the 9th century, and their complex architectural structures without advanced technologies.
The document summarizes aspects of ancient Chinese civilization during the Shang and Zhou dynasties, including:
1) The Shang and Zhou dynasties helped make China a powerful civilization, though they faced floods and isolation from other groups.
2) Family and ancestor worship were important, and kings consulted spirits through oracle bones. Society was patriarchal and literacy varied by class.
3) Crafts like bronze working and silk production advanced under the Zhou, who also introduced coinage and iron tools to boost trade and agriculture.
Chinese civilization began over 4,000 years ago and is recognized as one of the four great ancient civilizations of the world. China has a long history and large territory, with the Yellow River and Yangtze River being the major rivers. Ancient Chinese society was stratified, with the king and his family at the top, followed by scholars, farmers, craftsmen, merchants, and servants. Religions including Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism influenced Chinese culture. The Great Wall was built starting over 2,000 years ago to protect northern borders. Traditional Chinese architecture included pavilions, terraces, and storeyed buildings, as well as Taoist and Buddhist temples. Chinese culture is evidenced by
The Inca Empire spanned much of western South America from Colombia to central Chile. It was divided into four regions each governed by appointees who oversaw productive valleys, cities, and mines. Inca society was strictly stratified with the Sapa Inca as ruler and nobility, common people, and servants comprising other classes. The Incas developed advanced infrastructure including roads, architecture, agriculture, and education systems, but the empire disintegrated after the death of Huayna Capac due to a war between his two sons over succession to the throne.

The Han Dynasty ruled China from 206 BCE to 220 CE, divided into the Western Han and Eastern Han periods. It followed the Qin Dynasty and was a time of Chinese cultural and economic prosperity. The dynasty was founded by peasant-turned-general Liu Bang and established a centralized bureaucratic government with the capital at Chang'an. Emperor Wudi expanded the empire through military campaigns. The Han developed advanced technology, agriculture, trade, and a merit-based civil service system based on Confucian philosophy. However, inheritance laws concentrated wealth and the government overtaxed peasants, causing social inequality until the dynasty's eventual collapse.
The document provides an overview of human history from early hominids to the development of civilization. It discusses that the earliest hominids appeared in East Africa over 3 million years ago. During the Paleolithic Age, humans evolved and spread throughout the world as hunter-gatherers. The Neolithic Age saw the development of agriculture, which led to permanent settlements and the beginnings of private property and specialized labor, laying the foundations for civilization. Early civilizations emerged along major river valleys, where irrigation supported intensive agriculture. The Bronze Age followed the use of soft metals, while the Iron Age began around 1500 BC with the smelting of iron, advancing technology and warfare.
This document summarizes the main climate zones of the world. It divides the world into five climate zones: hot, warm, and cold. The hot zone includes equatorial, tropical, and desert climates. The warm zone includes oceanic, Mediterranean, and continental climates. The cold zone includes polar and mountain climates. Each climate is described in terms of average temperatures and precipitation patterns.
The Mayans were an ancient civilization that flourished in Mesoamerica between 2400 BC and 900 AD. They developed a complex society with distinct social classes and divisions of labor. The Mayans had many religious beliefs and practiced human sacrifice. They were also skilled farmers and builders, constructing ceremonial platforms, decorated palaces, and pyramids that played an important role in their culture and burial practices.

East Asia is a region with high mountains, deserts, and rugged terrain created by tectonic plate collisions. This landscape has limited human movement and increased isolation. Major landforms include the Himalaya, Kunlun, and Qinling mountain ranges, the Gobi Desert, and rivers like the Yangtze and Yellow. The region includes China, Japan, both Koreas, Taiwan, and Mongolia. China has the longest continuous civilization dating back over 4,000 years and has been the dominant cultural influence through dynasties like the Shang, Zhou, Qin, and Han. Confucianism also spread ideals of social harmony. Japan emerged as an economic power in the 20th century after opening to
The Maya civilization flourished from 250 to 909 AD in parts of Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, El Salvador, and Honduras. They were skilled farmers who developed advanced calendars, numeric and writing systems, and constructed large stone temples and palaces. However, by 900 AD the Maya mysteriously abandoned their cities, which archaeologists have not been able to fully explain.
This document provides an overview of ancient Chinese civilization. It covers topics such as the major dynasties that ruled (Shang, Zhou, Qin, Han), geography (rivers, mountains), cities and architecture (Forbidden City, pagodas), art forms (calligraphy, silk, porcelain), inventions (paper, printing, gunpowder), and the economy (silk road trade). It also discusses the social hierarchy, religious beliefs, and the eventual decline of ancient Chinese civilization after the fall of the Han dynasty due to internal turmoil and external invasions.
The Aztecs lived in Tenochtitlan, which is now Mexico City, from 1330 to 1521 CE. They had a complex social hierarchy led by emperors, with nobles, priests, and warriors at the top and slaves at the bottom. The average Aztec home consisted of two sections, one for cooking/living and the other for bathing. Maize was a primary food source and was used to make tortillas and tamales. Children learned skills from their parents and faced punishments for misbehavior, though not as harsh as under Hammurabi's laws. Religion played a major role in Aztec society, with gods of war, rain, and agriculture central to their beliefs and rituals.
The Aztec civilization originated in Mexico and built the great city of Tenochtitlan in the Valley of Mexico. By the early 1500s, Tenochtitlan had grown to a large urban center and capital city of the powerful Aztec Empire, which controlled most of modern-day Mexico. However, the Aztec Empire began to decline due to factors such as disease, warfare and the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors in the early 16th century.
The document summarizes three major pre-Columbian civilizations: the Mayans, Aztecs, and Incas. It provides details on the location, religion, achievements, and possible reasons for decline for each civilization. The Mayans inhabited northern Central America and had a sophisticated writing system and calendar. The Aztecs ruled central Mexico from their capital of Tenochtitlan and practiced human sacrifice. The Incas built an extensive road system and impressive stone structures in the Andes Mountains. All three civilizations declined following the arrival of European explorers and colonizers like Hernan Cortes and Francisco Pizarro.
The document summarizes four ancient American civilizations - the Olmecs, Mayans, Aztecs, and Incas. It describes the key features of early civilizations, then provides details about the location, culture, social structure, religion, politics, achievements, and decline of each civilization.

It also describes some national and religious holidays and festivals celebrated in different Southern European countries and iconic culinary traditions and dishes from each region like paella in Spain and panettone in Italy.
South America was named after Amerigo Vespucci, an Italian explorer. It is the fourth largest continent located primarily in the southern hemisphere, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and Pacific Ocean. Some key features include the Andes Mountains, Amazon River, diverse climate and cultures influenced by European colonization. The continent has experienced rapid economic development in recent decades driven by industries like agriculture, mining, and manufacturing.
The Phoenicians were a Semitic-speaking people who settled in city-states along the coast of present-day Lebanon. They lacked natural resources so relied on seafaring trade, coming to dominate Mediterranean trade by 900 BC. They established colonies throughout the region and invented the first alphabet, which was adopted by the Greeks and forms the basis of modern alphabets. Their trade and colonies encouraged cultural diffusion in the ancient world.
The Shang Dynasty was China's first literate civilization and ruled from around 1600-1046 BCE. They developed advanced bronze-working, bureaucracy, and rammed earth walls. The Shang heartland was along the Yellow River and traditionally dates from 1766 BCE when it was founded by Cheng Tang until its defeat by the Zhou at the Battle of Muye in 1045 BCE. The Shang made significant cultural contributions such as developing writing, bronze-working, and leaving behind oracle bones used for divination.

HISTORY
SLIDE 5
Political situation of Zimbabwe was similar to that of India. It suffered from british colonialism, like we had gandhiji as the pioneer of independence , they had Robert mugabe as a national hero who played a vital role in makind Zimbabwe independent from the glitches of the britishers
SLIDE 6
The post independent story Zimbabwe consisted of Robert mugabe being assigned to the post of prime minister and after a rule of 7 years he gained the presidentship of Zimbabwe in 1987
SLIDE 7
POLITICAL UPHEAVAL: the basic political reasons that led to the degradation of politics in Zimbabwe
SLIDE 8
Project murambitswina was a major cause of resentment amongst the people as under this project , in the wake of cleaning Zimbabwe of poverty and diseases, he actually inflicted terror upon the people and tortured the local populace . this project was a major cause for fuelling the hatred amongst the Zimbabweans
SLIDE 9
Instead of advising mugabe to stop the violence on the population , the then south African prime minister Mbeki maintained a QUIET DIPLOMACY to not involve in the issues of Zimbabwe.
SLIDE 10
Due to the reasons mentioned there was an overall movement and people within and beyond Zimbabwe wanted mugabe to be removed from power
SLIDE 11
Due to the strong opposition of mugabe the internal politics of Zimbabwe grew active and more and more political groups started to form a strong anti mugabe political party to contest in the elections that were goin to be held
SLIDE 12
The main opposition party against mugabe was MDC . mugabe feared that he would loose power and started inflicting physical harm on the opposition leaders and party members.
SLIDE 13
In his last pathetic efforts to win the elections, he manipulated the election process by corrupting the election officers and thus finding an easy solution to his problems.
SLIDE 14
Despite the efforts laid by mugabe to gain dominance over Zimbabwe he lost the election as MDC won 105 seats while mugabe won 93 seatsโฆa clear indicator of the miserable defeat faced by ZANU P.F.
SLIDE 15
But due to the loss in the elections , mugabe was totally frustrated and didnโt want to leave the power over Zimbabwe so he declared the elections to be void and carried out in a corrupted manner and retained power
SLIDE 16
So we can definitely infer that mugabe became despotic and is dismantling the constitution thus indirectly pushing Zimbabwe into the slumber it experienced before independence
SLIDE 17
Till date mugabeโs dictatorial rule prevails in Zimbabwe. In world conferences he proudly talks about the prosperity of Zimbabweans but the prosperity that they actually experience will be realized only after we go through the economic position of Zimbabwe and the factors or decisions or shuld I say, blunders that contributed to its downfall

๏ก Freezing basic commodity prices
๏ก Nationalize sectors of economy without compensation
๏ก Black markets
๏ก Land expropriation, obviation of property rights, and unrealistic price control
SLIDE 20
๏ก Inconsistency of exchange rates
Black markets of currency exchange sold their currency at a very cheaper rate than the fixed rates by government and so the value of their currency reduced drastically as time passed by.

Songhai developed from the 15th to 16th century along the Niger River in West Africa. It began as a small kingdom centered in Gao that was founded in the early 800s AD by Sorko fishermen who established trading relations with local Muslims. Over time, Gao grew to become part of the larger Songhai empire.
The Incans were a pre-Columbian Andean civilization that flourished in South America from the early 15th century until the Spanish conquest in 1532. They ruled one of the largest empires in the world and built extensive road systems and developed sophisticated agricultural techniques, including terracing mountains and drying potatoes to save for long-term storage. The Inca Empire stretched from modern-day southern Colombia to central Chile and included large parts of western Bolivia, Peru and Ecuador.

The Songhai Empire was located in West Africa from the 1400s to 1500s and had several leaders called Askias who expanded the empire through military conquests, including Sunni Ali who conquered the cities of Timbuktu and Jenne in the 1400s. The Songhai economy was based on dry-land farming and trade conducted by merchants selling goods like clothing and food.
1) Hernan Cortes, a Spanish conquistador, arrived in Mexico in 1519 with a small force of 550 men but was able to defeat the vast Aztec Empire through tactical advantages like horses and guns, forming alliances with neighboring tribes, and unwittingly spreading deadly diseases that weakened the Aztecs.
2) Francisco Pizarro similarly conquered the large Inca Empire in Peru in the 1530s with just 160 men by ambushing the emperor Atahualpa and kidnapping him, then executing him despite the Incas meeting Pizarro's ransom demands.
3) Both conquests resulted in Spain gaining control of extensive new territories in the Americas and access to the natural resources and
Zimbabwe has a population of over 12 million people with a life expectancy of 49 years. It gained independence from the UK in 1965 and has a semi-presidential republic government led by President Robert Mugabe. Some key facts about Zimbabwe include Victoria Falls, English as the official language, 24.9% unemployment, 350 mammal species, and soccer as a popular sport. Current events include a measles outbreak killing children and farmers receiving a 7% pay increase.
Robert Mugabe has been president of Zimbabwe since 1980. Zimbabwe has a population of over 11 million people and a capital city of Harare with over 2 million residents. The country has struggled economically in recent years with very high rates of inflation, unemployment of 80%, and negative GDP growth. Agriculture, mining, and industries such as steel and chemicals are major parts of Zimbabwe's economy.
The Incas started as a small tribe in Peru but built a vast empire through strong central government and control of the population. The Sapa Inca was the all-powerful ruler who put relatives in positions of power. Common people had no freedom and were tightly controlled, paying taxes through required labor. Harsh laws and inspections kept people compliant with government demands over their lives and labor. The empire expanded due to geographical barriers like mountains and jungle that the Incas traversed using an extensive network of well-built roads connecting their realm.
The Iroquois Tribe lived in what is now New York, living in longhouses. The Iroquois were farmers who grew crops like corn, beans and squash and also hunted deer, fish and elk for food. Men hunted and traded while women farmed and took care of the family. The Iroquois worshipped the Great Spirit and played lacrosse and other games. Dogs were important work animals and women led the clans.
The document summarizes the rise and fall of the Mali Empire in West Africa between 1240-1500 CE. It describes how the Mali Empire emerged after the fall of the Ghana Empire and was founded by Sundiata who defeated Sumanguru in battle in 1235. Mansa Musa expanded the Mali Empire greatly during his rule from 1307-1332 through expanding trade routes and establishing Timbuktu as a center of learning. However, internal problems like weak rulers after Musa and rebellions, as well as external threats, contributed to the decline of the Mali Empire by 1500.
The document summarizes information about the Iroquois Confederacy. It discusses the five original nations that made up the Confederacy (Seneca, Cayuga, Onondaga, Oneida, Mohawk) and when it was founded in 1142. It also mentions the Tuscarora nation joined the Confederacy in 1702, making it six nations. The document outlines aspects of Iroquois social structure, government, and decision making processes, highlighting their use of clan mothers, longhouses, consensus-based decision making, and oral traditions like wampum belts.
This slide show aims to draw connections between the empire of Mali at the height of its power under Mansa Musa, and modern day Mali. There are several topics presented, and there is room from inquiry throughout the slide show. I used photos from my travels throughout Mali and to Timbuktu. The slides also correspond with the Mansa Musa Readers Theatre, but it is not essential for you to have this in order to find the slide show accessible.
The Inca civilization originated in Peru in the 13th century and grew into a large empire under the rule of Pachacuti in the 15th century. The Incas built an extensive network of roads and aqueducts, developed advanced agricultural techniques, and created impressive stone architecture. However, the smallpox virus and the Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro weakened and defeated the Inca in the 1530s. Pizarro captured and executed the Inca emperor Atahualpa, claiming control of the former Inca territory for Spain.
The document summarizes the history and culture of the Inca civilization in Peru from 4000 BC to 1572 AD. It describes the major time periods and cultures, the rise and expansion of the Inca Empire under Pachacuti, and aspects of Inca society such as government, religion, education, arts, and infrastructure. The Incas did not have writing but left behind impressive architectural achievements before being conquered by the Spanish in the 16th century.
The Inca Empire lived in the Andes Mountains from the 1400s CE until being conquered by the Spanish in 1532 CE. They developed an extensive empire covering 2,500 miles and used runners called chaquis to deliver messages across the empire, able to travel up to 250 miles per day by passing knots tied in strings between messengers. The Incas had no writing system, so these oral messages helped them govern and keep records. Their society was stratified with emperors and nobles at the top governing farmers at the bottom.
Inca Civilization: It's Socio-Political and Cultural AspectsSabikun Shethi

The Incas originated in Cuzco, Peru and began expanding their empire around 1400 CE. Within 100 years, the Inca Empire had expanded across modern day Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile and Argentina. The Incas developed an efficient centralized government and strong system of laws and taxation that helped their empire grow rapidly. Their civilization was based around agriculture in the Andes mountains, with staple crops like potatoes and corn. The Incas had no written language but used knotted strings called quipus to record information.
The Aztec civilization arose in central Mexico in the 13th century and built the magnificent city of Tenochtitlan on an island in Lake Texcoco, constructing floating islands. They later expanded their empire through conquest, extracting taxes from subjugated peoples. Aztec society had an emperor and nobility who were wealthy, while most people were farmers. Human sacrifice was an important part of Aztec religion, with sacrifices meant to honor gods like the sun god. The Inca empire also arose in the late 15th century in the Andes Mountains of South America, eventually spanning over 2,500 miles. The Inca were excellent farmers and builders, constructing elaborate agricultural terraces and roads. Like the Aztecs, the In
Machu picchu โ a presentation by debbie kmckenny

Machu Picchu is an Inca citadel set high in the Andes mountains in Peru, located 80km from Cuzco. It was built in the 15th century by the Inca ruler Pachacuti but was later abandoned and lost to history until its rediscovery in 1911 by American historian Hiram Bingham. The stone buildings and structures at Machu Picchu suggest it was a sacred site and religious retreat for the Incas, featuring finely cut stones and an Intihuatana stone used in sun worship ceremonies.
The Inca Empire experienced civil war following the death of the emperor Huayna Capac, weakening the empire just as Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro arrived in 1532. Pizarro, along with just 168 men, was able to defeat the Inca army and capture the Inca ruler Atahualpa, bringing much of the empire under Spanish control. A rebellion led by Manco Inca in 1536 failed to drive the Spanish out, resulting in the fall of the Inca Empire and 300 years of Spanish rule over Peru.

The Inca Empire flourished from 1200-1532 AD in the Andes Mountains of western South America. They were led by an emperor called the Sapa Inca who had absolute control over the large empire. The Incas developed advanced infrastructure including an extensive road system and terraced farming to support a large population. However, civil war over succession and disease weakened the empire, allowing the Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro to conquer the Incas in 1531 AD, ending Inca rule.
The Incas built a vast empire in western South America dominated from their capital of Cuzco. Under the Sapa Inca, who was considered divine, the Incas developed efficient government and communication networks, including an extensive road system and use of runners to relay messages. They also excelled at engineering, constructing buildings from enormous stone blocks without the use of mortar. The Incas had a highly organized society and economy focused on agriculture, and they respected religion and nature. However, civil war between the sons of the emperor Huayna Capac weakened the empire just before the Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro began his conquest in 1532, bringing the Incan civilization to an end.
The Inca civilization flourished in Peru from 1400 to 1534 CE and built the largest empire in the Americas, extending from modern-day Ecuador to Chile. The Incas developed an advanced civilization with sophisticated urban planning, agriculture, and architecture. However, a civil war combined with disease epidemics brought by the Spanish led to the fall of the Inca Empire in the 1530s and its conquest by the Spanish.
The Inca Empire expanded greatly between 1438 and the 16th century to include parts of modern-day Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Argentina, Chile and Colombia. The Inca developed an advanced civilization with distinct social hierarchies, impressive architecture, sophisticated agricultural techniques, and a system of knotted strings called quipus for record keeping. Their capital was Cusco, and their official language was Quechua, with the sun god Inti at the center of their religion.
This document provides an overview of early human history from mitochondrial Eve in Africa around 200,000 years ago to the development of early civilizations like Sumer and Egypt. It discusses key topics like the origin of humans, the development of agriculture which allowed for larger settlements and specialization of labor, early forms of government and religion in places like Mesopotamia and Egypt, and the rise of early empires and trade networks that helped spread culture and technology. The document also summarizes the development of Greek city-states and different forms of government like monarchy, aristocracy, and democracy that emerged in ancient Greece.
The Inca Empire was located in the Andes Mountains and Pacific coast of South America, with its capital at Cuzco in present-day Peru. The Inca had a polytheistic religion tied to nature and the sun god Inti. The Sapa Inca, or emperor, had absolute power as both political and religious leader. The Inca built an extensive road network and developed advanced agricultural techniques, but disease and military conflict with Spanish conquistadors led by Francisco Pizarro ultimately brought about the decline and fall of the Inca Empire in the 16th century.
The document provides information about the Inca civilization that ruled over parts of western South America prior to the Spanish conquest. It discusses:
- The geography of the Inca Empire, which stretched across the Andes mountains from modern-day Colombia to Chile and included the countries of Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia and Argentina.
- Aspects of Inca society such as the social hierarchy headed by the Sapa Inca emperor, the importance of agriculture using crops like potatoes and quinoa, and the Quechua language.
- Inca cultural and religious practices such as their polytheistic beliefs centered around gods like the sun god Inti, and their use of knotted strings called quipus to

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
ย
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
