During the Classical Era, early civilizations expanded beyond river valleys and developed systems of thought, culture, art, music, and literature that still influence us today. These civilizations began reflecting on morality and the meaning of life, giving rise to the world's major religions. As Persia, Greece, Rome, India and China advanced, they established classical standards in many areas that works were judged against for over 2,000 years, earning them the name "classical civilizations."

Civilizations in india and china
The Indus Valley civilization consisted of two major cities, Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa. Houses had complex plumbing and drainage systems. Most people were farmers, though there were also many merchants and traders. Peoples from Central Asia intermarried with locals from the Ganges River basin, and their descendants became known as Aryans. Society was divided into social classes based on occupation, leading to the development of the caste system. People practiced polytheism and believed in many gods, with Brahman being the most powerful.
06 07 chapter 3 notes
Ancient India developed advanced civilizations like the Indus Valley Civilization between 3000-1500 BC. The Aryans later invaded and established a caste system by 1500 BC. Hinduism and Buddhism emerged as major religions promoting dharma and escaping suffering. China also saw early dynasties like Shang and Zhou centralized around the Yellow River Valley. Confucianism emphasized social harmony through filial piety while Daoism focused on living naturally. Both India and China made scientific advances and established empires during their Golden Ages.
Early china ppt[1]
China developed advanced cultures during the Shang and Zhou Eras. [1] The Shang Era saw the development of divination, ancestor worship, pictograms, and silk production. [2] The Zhou Era established a feudal system and bureaucracy. [3] Confucius promoted order, education, and ritual during a time of nomadic incursions and warring states.
HUMA101-Chapter1
The humanities are studies that are directly concerned with human values and how humans interact with each other, the natural world, and concepts like God. The humanities encompass areas like cultural studies, history, philosophy, languages, art, music, theater, and religious studies. Key aspects of culture include creation myths that influence a group's worldview, art that expresses cultural values, and similarities and differences in structures like houses, monuments, and sculptures across civilizations. Civilizations develop in river valleys with resources to support large populations, administrative elites, trade, production, and expressions of culture through images and writing.
Shang and chou dynasties
The Shang Dynasty ruled China from around 1766 BC to 1122 BC. Writing developed during this time using oracle bones with carved symbols. The Shang were also skilled bronze workers who created vessels and tombs. The Zhou Dynasty then overthrew the Shang around 1100 BC and ruled until 256 BC, a period known as the Classical Age. The Zhou developed ironworking and new military technologies like the catapult. Philosophies like Confucianism and Daoism emerged during the later Zhou in response to societal conflicts. Confucius taught about treating others with respect and honoring tradition. Daoism focused on finding harmony with nature through balance.
Classical China
China has a long history with a series of dynastic rulers. The document outlines some of the major dynasties including the Zhou Dynasty which established feudal rule and Confucianism, the Qin Dynasty which first unified China, and the Han Dynasty which expanded China's territory and established important cultural and technological advances. Classical China was governed by a hierarchy with emperors, nobles, peasants, and merchants and was influenced by philosophies like Confucianism and Daoism as well as achievements in science, art, and economics.
HUM 100: Defining th Humanities
This document defines the humanities and outlines an introductory course on the subject. It explains that the humanities include subjects like history, literature, philosophy, and the visual and performing arts. Studying the humanities allows us to learn from past cultural achievements and helps with survival, community, self-knowledge, and the development of society. The course will cover the history of humanities from prehistory through the medieval period in different world civilizations. It will examine how art and culture reflect changing views of nature, society, and the individual over time.
What Is A Civilization
Civilizations had political structures like governments to organize growing villages and cities, traditional economies based on farming and trade, and polytheistic religious beliefs in multiple gods. Societies were organized with gender roles and specialized jobs, and civilizations developed systems of writing or drawings to communicate and expressed their culture through unique arts and architecture. Studying civilizations' geography, history, and archaeology helps us learn how environments shaped lives, understand past events and ways of living, and examine artifacts to learn about tools, weapons, pottery, and more.

World History Ch. 4 Section 1 Notes
The document provides information about early civilizations in India. It describes the Indus Valley Civilization which arose around 2500 BC in the Indus River valley and established well-planned cities like Harappa and Mohenjo Daro. This civilization declined around 2000 BC for unknown reasons. It then discusses the Vedic period in India after 2000 BC, when the Aryans gained control. Vedic society was divided into four social classes called varnas, with the Brahmins as priests at the top.
World History Ch. 1 Section 3 Notes
1. Early farming villages grew in size and complexity due to advances in farming and changing economies, leading to the development of cities which served as centers of trade.
2. The first civilizations arose independently in fertile river valleys where surplus food could support large populations, and were characterized by specialized labor, social classes, record keeping, art, architecture, organized government, and formal religion.
3. Early civilizations continued to change over time due to environmental influences, the spread of people and ideas, and expansion through warfare and conflicts over resources.
Cross Cultural Exchanges 3.1
Cross-cultural exchanges in the post-classical era were fostered by expanding networks of trade and communication. Merchants established diasporic communities along trade routes to introduce their own cultural traditions. Increased interactions resulted in the spread of religions, literary and artistic traditions, crops, technologies, and diseases along these networks. Major trade religions like Islam and cultural traditions like Confucianism diffused widely. Crops, mathematical concepts, and technologies also spread greatly due to cross-cultural contact and exchange.

Geographical DIstribution Of human
The document discusses several key aspects of culture, including how geography shapes human cultures but humans also alter the environment to meet their needs. It defines culture as the total knowledge, attitudes and behaviors shared by a group. Key components of culture discussed include language, religion, and social organization. Finally, it discusses factors influencing human population distributions and migration patterns.
What is religion
Religion involves reflecting on life's central questions about where we come from, where we are going, and what we ought to live for. It helps map a course through life and connects us to something transcendent. The roots of the term religion involve gathering, re-reading, and binding together. Religions develop from humanity's quest for meaning, purpose, and salvation, and adherents express their beliefs through particular worldviews, traditions, sacred texts, rituals, and moral codes.
Birth of civilisation in china
The first civilisation in China emerged around 3000 BCE along the fertile plains of the Yellow River valley. The Yangshao people farmed millet and kept livestock, while the later Longshan culture had more advanced settlements, rice farming, and black pottery. By 1500 BCE, the Shang Dynasty established China's first civilisation, based in the Yellow River valley, with kings ruling cities and villages, occupations like farming and crafts, and a writing system carved on oracle bones.
Development of Civilization
Civilization refers to advanced stages of social and cultural development characterized by progress in the arts, sciences, and forms of social organization. Early civilizations flourished along river valleys because they provided water, fertile soil, building materials, opportunities for fishing, transportation, trade, and a moderate climate. The Bronze Age saw the introduction of bronze, an alloy stronger than copper or tin alone, leading to improved tools and crafts. Notable early civilizations included those in Mesopotamia, Egypt, China, and India, which developed writing systems, calendars, legal codes, herbal medicine, and other innovations while worshipping nature and engaging in agriculture.
South asian art and culture
South Asian art and culture developed over millennia in the diverse region now comprising India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, and Bhutan. The ancient Indus Valley civilization flourished as early as the 3rd millennium BC, building cities and crafting steatite seals. Later, Aryan peoples entering the subcontinent between 1800-1200 BC brought Hinduism, rooted in the Vedic hymns. Hinduism evolved as a diverse, polytheistic faith with regional variations. Major religious architecture like temples featured ornate carvings depicting gods and auspicious motifs. Alongside Hindu arts, Buddhism and Jainism arose in 6th century BC India and spread across Asia, while other faiths like Islam also

Chapter 18 the new deal
Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected president in 1932 on a platform of enacting a "New Deal" to address the Great Depression. As president, FDR pushed through major legislation in his first 100 days to provide relief, recovery, and reform. The New Deal established programs like the WPA, CCC, AAA, and Social Security to provide jobs, support farmers, and create a social safety net. It significantly expanded the role of the federal government in managing the economy.
Chapter 19 sec 4 (1)
After England and France declared war on Germany, President Roosevelt declared the United States neutral but was determined to help the allied countries fight Hitler. He asked Congress to revise the Neutrality Acts to allow the US to sell weapons to allied countries. Roosevelt was re-elected in 1940 on a platform of continued support for Britain. The Lend-Lease Act allowed the US to send weapons to Britain in exchange for repayment after the war. Increasing tensions with Japan over its expansion in the Pacific and US embargoes on oil led to Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor, bringing the US into World War II.
Chapter 14 sec2
The United States entered World War I in 1917, requiring a large military force. This led to the implementation of the Selective Service Act and the drafting of over 2.8 million men. Nearly 250,000 African American men were also drafted but faced discrimination. Women entered non-combat military roles for the first time. The government encouraged food conservation and raised funds through increased taxes and war bond sales. The economy expanded through increased industrial production and employment. However, dissent was suppressed through propaganda and new laws restricting free speech.
Ch. 20 wwii
The Japanese attacked the Philippines hours after bombing Pearl Harbor. US forces under Douglas MacArthur retreated to Bataan Peninsula but later surrendered, resulting in the brutal Bataan Death March. The Doolittle Raids on Tokyo boosted American morale. The Battle of Midway was a major turning point, after which Japan was on the defensive. Manhattan Project scientists developed the atomic bomb, which the US dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945, leading to Japan's surrender and the end of WWII.
Chapter 17 gd
The Great Depression began after the stock market crash of 1929 and lasted throughout the 1930s. Several factors contributed to the Depression, including overproduction, uneven income distribution, declining exports, and mistakes by the Federal Reserve. During the Depression, nearly 25% of the workforce was unemployed, many families lived in poverty with breadlines and soup kitchens, and some people became homeless hobos traveling the country. The Dust Bowl drought exacerbated the farming crisis and caused many to flee to California. President Hoover did not take action to help Americans suffering from the economic collapse.
Civil war
The document compares advantages between the North and South during the American Civil War. It shows that the North had a larger population, more wealth, industry and railroads. The South relied more on farming and had a smaller population that was around a third slaves. Both sides were very enthusiastic in their support for the war, but the North had a larger established army and navy while the South hurried to establish their forces. The South was more familiar with the land as their homeland, and their reasons for fighting were to defend their homes and families as well as their right to self-determination. The North's strategy was to hold the line and exhaust the South while the South aimed to keep the North back and tire them of fighting.

1) After WWI, several authoritarian governments rose to power in Europe and Asia, including fascist regimes in Italy led by Mussolini and Germany led by Hitler, and communist rule in Russia led by Stalin.
2) In the 1930s, Hitler aggressively expanded German territory by remilitarizing against the Treaty of Versailles and annexing Austria and Czechoslovakia, despite the failed appeasement policy of Britain and France.
3) In 1939, Hitler invaded Poland, starting World War II in Europe as Britain and France declared war on Germany. After quickly defeating Poland, Germany launched attacks on Western European countries and conquered France in 1940.

The Vietnam War lasted from 1956 to 1975 and involved North Vietnam and the Viet Cong fighting against South Vietnam and the United States. It began as an anti-colonial rebellion against French control of Vietnam and escalated into a proxy war between the U.S. and Soviet Union amid the Cold War. Despite massive U.S. military involvement and bombing campaigns, the Vietnam War ended with a Communist victory in 1975 after the fall of Saigon. The war was highly controversial in the U.S. and had lasting domestic political and cultural impacts.

John F. Kennedy was elected president in 1960 in one of the closest races in American history. As president, Kennedy established the Peace Corps to provide humanitarian aid around the world. He committed the US to landing on the moon to win the space race against the Soviet Union. However, the Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba was a failure that made the US look weak. Kennedy faced further challenges with the Berlin Wall and Cuban Missile Crisis, before his presidency was tragically cut short by his assassination in 1963.

Meanwhile, the Soviets defeated the Germans at Stalingrad, another major turning point. The Allies also had success in North Africa. These victories put Germany and Japan on the defensive for the remainder of the war.
Isolationists
The document discusses America's foreign policy in the early 20th century as it moved between isolationism and internationalism. While often characterized as isolationist in the 1920s, the US was actively involved through conferences, agreements, and loans abroad. FDR believed the US could not remain isolated as Germany and fascism rose. Though neutral at first, FDR took steps like Lend-Lease to aid Britain and passed embargoes against Japan. Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor led the US to enter World War II.

The US mobilized for WWII on an unprecedented scale, transforming the economy and society. The government took on expanded roles, controlling wages, prices and production to support the war effort. Unemployment dropped from 14% to 2% as millions of Americans, including many women and minorities, went to work in newly-expanded industries producing vast quantities of military equipment. Over 40 million men were drafted, though the military remained segregated and discrimination persisted at home, including the internment of Japanese Americans. Despite shortages, most Americans embraced sacrifices to support the war through rationing, scrap drives, and buying war bonds.

Jews were segregated into ghettos and deprived of rights through laws like the Nuremberg Laws. Pogroms like Kristallnacht in 1938 killed many Jews and destroyed Jewish homes and businesses. As persecution increased, some Jews fled but many were unable to escape Nazi-controlled Europe as countries like the United States limited immigration. This ultimately led to the "Final Solution" and establishment of concentration camps for slave labor and

It describes how leaders like Mussolini in Italy, Stalin in Russia, and Hitler in Germany rose to power amid economic struggles and unrest over territorial losses from WWI. Hitler violated the Treaty of Versailles and began invading neighboring countries like Austria and Czechoslovakia, prompting Britain and France to pursue a failed policy of appeasement. When Germany invaded Poland in 1939, Britain and France declared war on Germany, marking the start of World War II.
Chapter 20 sec
The United States mobilized for war by dramatically increasing industrial production. American workers were highly productive, manufacturing over 600,000 Jeeps, 88,000 tanks, and 7,000 ships during the war. The government intervened in the economy by controlling wages, rents, prices and production quotas. Over 40 million men were drafted into the military. The war effort increased opportunities for women and minorities, though racism still persisted as seen in the internment of Japanese Americans. Overall, the massive mobilization transformed the economy and society, helping to end the Great Depression while fueling the early Civil Rights movement.
Ap the great depression
Herbert Hoover was elected president in 1928 on a platform of prosperity, but the stock market crashed in 1929, plunging the US into the Great Depression. Overproduction, declining exports, income inequality, and mistakes by the Federal Reserve exacerbated the economic downturn. By 1933, unemployment had reached 25% as banks failed, businesses closed, and millions lost their homes and farms. Shantytowns appeared as people struggled to survive with breadlines and soup kitchens. Dust storms destroyed the livelihoods of farmers on the Great Plains, forcing many to migrate to California in search of work. President Hoover did not use the federal government to help citizens, damaging his reputation.
Ap new deal
The New Deal was Franklin D. Roosevelt's response to the Great Depression that devastated the United States economy in the 1930s. FDR promised a "New Deal" and was elected president in 1932. The New Deal had three main goals: relief for the unemployed and poor, economic recovery, and reforms to prevent future depressions. FDR and his "Brain Trust" of advisers implemented numerous programs to pursue these goals, including the CCC, TVA, SEC, Social Security, and others. The New Deal dramatically expanded the role of the federal government in managing the economy and providing social services.
Ap chapter 24 the new era1
The document provides an overview of social, economic, and political changes in the United States during the 1920s. It was an era of rapid change as traditional rural values clashed with new urban lifestyles. The economy experienced rapid growth and prosperity led by new industries like automobiles and consumerism. However, there was also conflict as some Americans feared the loss of traditional values and groups like immigrants, African Americans, and women seeking greater freedoms. The period saw both social liberalism embodied by flappers and a rise in religious fundamentalism defending traditional values.
Chapter 14 sec 3
This document provides an overview of trench warfare during World War 1 on the Western Front. It describes how both sides dug extensive trench systems that stretched across Europe and engaged in brutal direct assaults across no man's land that resulted in massive casualties. New weapons like machine guns, tanks, chemical weapons, airplanes, and flamethrowers contributed to stalemate and carnage. The document outlines some of the key battles and events of the war, including America's entry and role in turning the tide, and the eventual German surrender in 1918.
Ap treaty of versailles (2)
The document summarizes President Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points plan for peace after World War I and the negotiations at the 1919 Paris Peace Conference. It outlines Wilson's vision for a League of Nations to prevent future wars, but notes that other Allied powers wanted to impose a harsher treaty on Germany. Though Wilson campaigned vigorously for the Treaty and League, the U.S. Senate rejected both due to opposition from Republicans like Henry Cabot Lodge and Americans' desire to avoid foreign entanglements, leading to a harsh treaty that sowed resentment in Germany.
America and the great war
America entered World War I in 1917 after a series of events eroded its neutrality. While Woodrow Wilson initially kept the US neutral, Germany's unrestricted submarine warfare, which resulted in the sinking of American ships like the Lusitania, outraged the American public. Germany's interception of the Zimmerman Telegram, in which it offered Mexico territory in exchange for allying with Germany against the US, further turned American opinion against Germany. Wilson ultimately requested a declaration of war from Congress in 1917 after Germany resumed unrestricted submarine warfare.
Ap chapter 22
Theodore Roosevelt served as President from 1901-1909 and pursued an ambitious agenda of reform and regulation known as the "Square Deal." Some key aspects of his domestic policy included trust-busting like dissolving J.P. Morgan's Northern Securities Company, mediating labor disputes, and passing food and drug regulations. Roosevelt also championed conservation efforts and established 150 national forests. In foreign policy, he sent the Great White Fleet around the world and intervened in Latin America to promote political stability, including encouraging Panama's independence from Colombia to build the Panama Canal.
ap progressive era autosaved
The Progressive Era saw widespread reforms between 1890-1920 in response to economic and social problems resulting from rapid industrialization and urbanization. Reformers addressed issues like political corruption, poverty, child labor, and unsafe working conditions through muckraking journalism that investigated these issues, the settlement house movement that provided social services to the poor, and advocacy of women's suffrage and prohibition. While they differed on solutions, Progressives broadly sought to regulate large businesses and make government more responsive to public needs through initiatives like the direct election of Senators.
Ap ch 20
The US became interested in expanding overseas in the late 1800s due to increasing industrialization and new ideas about Anglo-Saxon dominance. While the US had previously followed an isolationist foreign policy, it now sought new international markets and felt pressure to join European imperialism in Africa and Asia. This expansionism was also driven by a sense of national destiny and the belief that America had a duty to civilize other peoples. The US annexed Hawaii in 1898 and went to war with Spain over Cuba the same year, acquiring Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines as a result. However, governing the Philippines led to a debate over whether America should become an imperial power in conflict with its republican ideals.
Ap chapter 19 the agrarian revolt
The Agrarian Revolt summarizes the emergence of the Populist movement in response to farmers' growing frustrations over economic issues like tariffs, trusts and railroad monopolies. Farmers formed organizations like the Grange at the local and state levels to advocate for their interests, but eventually the Farmers' Alliance and Populist Party developed to take the fight national. The Populists gained some political victories but ultimately declined after William McKinley defeated William Jennings Bryan in the 1896 presidential election, ensuring America's commitment to the gold standard.
Chapter 18 the new deal (3)
Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected president in 1932, promising a "New Deal" to address the Great Depression. During his first hundred days in office, FDR pushed numerous relief programs through Congress like the CCC and WPA to create jobs and the FDIC to insure bank deposits. The New Deal expanded the role of the federal government and was made up of relief, recovery, and reform programs, though some like the AAA were ruled unconstitutional. FDR's fireside chats helped restore public confidence. The New Deal dramatically increased the power of the federal government.
