Umayyad and abbasid caliphates

The Umayyad clan was initially opposed to Muhammad but later embraced Islam and became a powerful Muslim family. After Muhammad's death, the Umayyads led the majority Sunni Muslims while some broke away to form the Shiite minority who believed leadership should remain within Muhammad's family. The Umayyads rapidly conquered territories across North Africa, the Middle East, and parts of Europe until being halted at the Battle of Tours in 732. Their rule ended when the Abbasid family revolted in 750 and established their capital in Baghdad, moving the empire's center away from Syria.

The Abbasids ruled from 751-983 AD and established their capital in Baghdad. During their Golden Age from 775-861 AD, Baghdad became a global center for science, philosophy, medicine and education under rulers like Al-Mansour and Harun Al-Rashid. The House of Wisdom gathered knowledge from many cultures and advanced fields like algebra, geometry, astronomy, and the introduction of paper and the number zero. However, as the empire grew too large to govern effectively and rulers became distant from the people, rebellions emerged and the Abbasid Caliph became merely a religious figurehead by 930 AD, leading to their eventual decline.

Muslim Rule in Spain

Rehan Shaikh

1. Muslims ruled Spain for about eight centuries beginning in 714 AD, converting it into the most civilized and charming land in the world. 2. The long Muslim rule can be divided into three phases - a first phase of confusion, a golden era of power and progress from 756-1036 AD, and a final phase of anarchy and annihilation as petty states emerged and clashed. 3. In 1086 AD, Yusuf ibn Tashfin of Morocco invaded Spain and defeated the Christians at the Battle of Zallaqa, restoring Muslim power temporarily before infighting resumed after his death.

The Mongols originated as nomadic tribes living on the steppes of Central Asia. Under Genghis Khan in the early 13th century, the Mongols united the tribes and formed a powerful military force. Genghis Khan and his descendants led Mongol armies that conquered territory stretching from Korea to Eastern Europe, destroying cities that resisted and establishing the largest contiguous land empire in world history. Though their invasions killed millions, the Mongols also facilitated trade along the Silk Road and established a period of stability known as the Pax Mongolica across their vast empire.

The decline of the Roman Empire began after the death of Marcus Aurelius, as inflation rose and military strength weakened due to disloyal soldiers. Diocletian restored order by dividing the empire and strengthening the army, but civil war erupted after his retirement. The empire continued to decline due to invasions by Germanic tribes and the Huns, with the last Roman emperor being overthrown in 476, marking the fall of Rome in the West while the East survived as the Byzantine Empire.

Feudal society

Inès Rosado

Medieval society was organized in a strict feudal hierarchy. At the top was the king, who owned all the land and granted portions to noblemen in exchange for their military service. Below the noblemen were knights and clergy who fought and prayed on their behalf. At the bottom were peasants and servants who worked the land in return for protection from their lord. Everyone owed allegiance and service to those ranked above them in the feudal pyramid structure.

Claire James

The basic government and society in medieval Europe was organized around the feudal system. At the top was the king, who granted land to barons in exchange for soldiers and taxes. Barons then divided the land among lords, who ruled local manors. Manors were centered around a lord's castle and included farms worked by peasants. Peasants received land from lords in exchange for service and lived a difficult life with little rights or possessions. This pyramid-like system bound people together through oaths of loyalty and military service in exchange for protection and the use of land.

MONGOLS CONQUEST

bee chai

The Mongols, led by Genghis Khan, rapidly established a vast empire through conquest across Asia and parts of Europe between the 13th and 14th centuries. Starting from their homeland in Mongolia, Genghis Khan and his successors conquered territory including North China, Mongolia, Turkestan, Afghanistan, North India, and parts of Russia and Eastern Europe within about 21 years. The Mongol Empire reached its peak under Kublai Khan in the late 13th century, encompassing most of Asia and Eastern Europe. Its influence gradually declined thereafter as the khanates broke apart, and the Mongol-founded Yuan dynasty in China collapsed in 1368, marking the end of the Mongol Empire's dominance.

The Mongols were a nomadic people from Central Asia who lived in foldable houses called yurts and herded animals. They were organized into tribes led by chieftains called Khans. One Mongol named Temujin united the tribes and became the first Great Khan, or Genghis Khan, creating the largest land empire by 1227. However, the empire fragmented after Genghis Khan's death as his grandchildren disagreed on leadership. The empire split into four khanates, the most powerful led by Kublai Khan in China. While the Mongols disrupted many regions, their rule also increased trade and communication across Asia and into Europe.

King Louis XVI tried to escape but was captured. 2) The Assembly created a new constitution and Legislative Assembly but factions split between radicals, moderates, and émigrés. France declared war on Austria and Prussia. The king was deposed and executed despite his popularity. 3) Radical Jacobins led by Robespierre took control. The Reign of Terror began, killing thousands including former allies to the king. 4) Robespierre ruled

Causes of the French Revolution

The French Revolution was caused by a combination of political, economic, social, and intellectual factors. Politically, King Louis XVI's absolute rule faced growing criticism. Economically, lavish spending by the monarchy and wars had left France in debt. Socially, the rigid three-estate system divided society and the large third estate of commoners felt oppressed. Intellectually, Enlightenment ideas promoted reason and challenged the status quo, fueling revolutionary thinking.

Enlightenment

The Enlightenment was a period in the 18th century when thinkers applied reason and science to politics, society, and the economy. They challenged absolute monarch rule and argued that people have natural rights like liberty. Thinkers like Locke, Montesquieu, Voltaire, Rousseau, and Adam Smith developed new ideas about government, economics, and society that influenced revolutions and the growth of democracy. Their works spread new ways of thinking through publications and social gatherings.

Absolutism II

Absolutism is a form of monarchy where the ruler exercises total control over the government and is not restricted by laws, assemblies, or churches. Absolute rulers claimed that their right to rule came from God. In France, Louis XIV strengthened the monarchy's power by building a strong army, persecuting Huguenots, and living an extravagant lifestyle funded by high taxes. His rule marked the peak of French absolutism. In England, conflicts between monarchs and Parliament led to civil war and the execution of Charles I, establishing Parliament's supremacy over the king and creating a limited constitutional monarchy.

Absolutism 1

This document discusses different forms of government throughout history including: 1) Mercantilism which funded absolutism. 2) Absolutism where monarchs claimed divine right to rule with total power such as Louis XIV of France, called the "Sun King", and Peter the Great of Russia who modernized the country. 3) Examples of absolute rulers seeking to centralize power and westernize their empires through new policies, building projects, and military campaigns.

African Kingdoms

The document describes several early kingdoms in Africa, including their rise and fall. It discusses kingdoms in East Africa like Axum which spread Christianity through trade. In West Africa it describes kingdoms like Ghana and Mali that controlled the gold-salt trade routes and grew wealthy. Mali expanded under Mansa Musa who took a famous hajj to Mecca. The kingdom of Songhai later rose to power, controlling trade until being conquered by Morocco in the 16th century. The document concludes with images of modern African cities.

Geography of Africa

The document provides an overview of the geography of Africa. It notes that Africa is the second largest continent, covering around 11.7 million square miles. Key geographical features discussed include the Sahara Desert, which covers about 1/3 of the continent; savannas, which make up 50% of Africa and contain most wildlife; and plateaus, which cover Africa's interior. Major rivers like the Nile, Congo, and Zambezi are also mentioned. The document provides details on the Victoria Falls and the Great Rift Valley.

Ancient American Pre-Columbian Civilization

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.

Early People

The document discusses early human history from the Paleolithic Age to the Neolithic Revolution. [1] The first humans originated in Africa over 2 million years ago during the Paleolithic Age. [2] Paleolithic people were nomadic hunter-gatherers who moved to find food and developed simple tools and weapons. [3] They began developing language, clothing, and spiritual beliefs that included burying the dead with items. [4] One of the earliest known human skeletons was discovered in Africa. [5] During the Neolithic Revolution, humans began settling and farming, leading to cultural diffusion as people migrated across land bridges and by boat.

Features Of Civilization Computer Activity

Eight Features Of Civ

The document discusses some key features that emerged with the rise of early civilizations along river valleys approximately 5,000 years ago. Cities developed as farmers produced surplus food, leading to larger populations. Central governments formed to ensure food supply and protection, using bureaucratic systems. Rulers also commissioned public works like roads, bridges, and walls. Religion grew more complex with polytheistic beliefs and temple construction. Writing systems were invented to keep records for tasks like taxation and grain storage. Work became specialized rather than general, and social classes developed based on occupations. Art and architecture reflected cultural beliefs and values through religious buildings and governmental displays of strength.

Prehistory

Archaeologists study the lifestyles of prehistoric peoples by excavating artifacts from sites dating before 5000 years ago. Anthropologists examine human cultures through social structures and customs. Paleontologists analyze fossils found in rocks to understand early life forms. Primary sources of information include original documents and objects from the time period, while secondary sources interpret and analyze primary sources from further removed perspectives such as publications and commentaries.

Exploration 2

The document summarizes European exploration between the 15th and 17th centuries as they searched for new trade routes to Asia and its spices. The Portuguese first established coastal trading ports in Africa and India to control the spice trade. The Dutch later set up ports around the world using their naval power. English ships began carrying limes to prevent scurvy on long voyages. Spain funded Columbus' voyage west in 1492 hoping to reach Asia, but he landed in the Americas instead. This led to the Columbian Exchange of plants, animals, diseases, and people between Europe and the Americas, profoundly impacting global populations. Other conquistadors like Cortes and Pizarro then conquered the Aztec and Inca empires,

Exploration 1

European exploration between 1400-1700 CE was driven by several key factors: the questioning spirit of the Renaissance; the search for a better trade route to Asia to access spices at cheaper prices by cutting out Muslim and Italian middlemen; the desire of Christian missionaries to spread Christianity; and technological improvements like Guttenberg's printing press and advances in navigation that enabled more ambitious voyages.

The document summarizes the spread of the Protestant Reformation in Europe. It discusses the more radical Anabaptist sect that rejected infant baptism and private property. It then covers the English Reformation under King Henry VIII who broke with the Catholic Church to create the Church of England and had those who refused executed, including Sir Thomas More. Upon Henry's death, his son Edward VI further Protestantized England while his daughter Mary I tried to restore Catholicism and burned hundreds of Protestants. Elizabeth I's settlement compromised between the two faiths.

Protestant Reformation

The Protestant Reformation was an attempt in the 16th century to reform the Catholic Church in Europe. Reformers like Martin Luther wanted to restore faith in the church and questioned the corruption and power of Catholic Church leaders. Luther posted his 95 Theses criticizing the church in 1517, sparking the Protestant Reformation where Europeans broke away from the Catholic Church and formed new Christian denominations like Lutheran and Calvinist churches.

Scientific Revolution

The document summarizes key figures and developments during the Scientific Revolution. It discusses how Nicolaus Copernicus proposed the heliocentric model that the Earth and planets revolve around the Sun, contradicting the geocentric model. Galileo later confirmed Copernicus' theory using a telescope, though the Catholic Church condemned his findings. Isaac Newton then built upon these ideas by formulating the law of universal gravitation and laws of motion. Overall, the Scientific Revolution involved questioning prior beliefs and relying on experimentation and reasoning to better understand the natural world.

The Renaissance

The Renaissance began in Italy in the 15th century as a period of cultural, artistic, political, and economic rebirth following the Middle Ages. Wealthy Italian merchants became patrons of the arts, supporting artists like Michelangelo and Leonardo Da Vinci. Their works expanded on classical Greek and Roman styles and emphasized principles like humanism and realistic perspective. The Renaissance spread north over the next hundred years, influencing regions like Germany and the Netherlands.
