This document discusses three major trade routes between 500-1500 CE: the Silk Roads, Indian Ocean trade route, and Trans-Sahara trade route. It notes that trade along these routes moved goods like silk, spices, textiles, as well as ideas, cultures, diseases and technology between places. A key point of continuity is that trade along the routes often did not involve direct trade between countries, but instead used "relay" trade through intermediate places, and brought diversity between the cultures along the routes.

After World War 2, the civil war resumed until 1949 when the Communists declared the People's Republic of China. Under Mao's leadership, China underwent land redistribution, industrialization, and the consolidation of power by the Communist party through imprisoning dissidents. However, the Great Leap Forward failed and led to a famine causing over 20 million deaths.
Intro ussr communist 2014
Dynastic monarchies in Russia and China faced economic and social problems in the early 20th century, leading to revolutions. In Russia, the tsar was overthrown and a provisional democratic government formed, but it failed amid World War I losses. Radicals like the Bolsheviks gained power, and their leader Lenin seized control. A civil war ensued as anti-communist forces fought back, but the Bolsheviks prevailed. Lenin established communist rule, redistributing land and industrializing through five-year plans. In China, the Qing dynasty fell in 1912 and a provisional government took over, but problems continued and communists gained victory in 1949, establishing the People's Republic of China.
World wars compared
This document provides an overview comparison of World War I and World War II. It discusses the causes, warfare, and results of each war. For causes, it describes the alliances, nationalism, militarism, and imperialism that led to WWI, as well as the resentment over the Treaty of Versailles and global economic depression that contributed to WWII. The warfare of each war included new weapons and tactics. Results of both wars involved massive destruction, deaths, and redrawn maps, as well as long term impacts such as new governments, international organizations, and an emerging Cold War.
Global economic depression overview
The document provides an overview of the global economic depression known as the Great Depression that began in 1929 and lasted through World War II. It discusses several key causes, including overproduction in industry and agriculture which lowered prices and increased unemployment, the crash of the American stock market, and demands for international loan payments which destabilized European economies. The results were widespread bank failures around the world, plummeting agricultural and industrial production, high unemployment rates of 30% in some countries, and a major slowdown in global trade with exports dropping by 50% or more in many areas.

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 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 populations, and achieve national prestige. 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.

Industrial revolution intro 2015
The Industrial Revolution began in Great Britain in the late 18th century and spread to other parts of Western Europe, the United States, Japan, and Russia in the 19th century. It introduced new patterns of machine-powered mass production that transformed how goods were manufactured and consumed. While industrialization provided benefits like increased production, it also had negative consequences like poor working conditions, low wages, and lack of regulations regarding the environment and resource use. The revolution brought significant social and economic changes such as urbanization, new social classes, expanded government and industry influence, and new philosophies about politics and economics.
