The document discusses trade along the Silk Road connecting China and other lands, describing its effects in spreading goods, ideas, and knowledge between cultures. It mentions Marco Polo's travels to China to trade goods and Zheng He's voyages to expand Chinese trade. African empires like Ghana rose as gold trading centers before Mali and Songhai. Mansa Musa's pilgrimage strengthened trade ties between Mali and other Muslim nations. Europeans later explored Africa's coasts profiting from gold and slaves and connecting the Eastern and Western hemispheres through new ocean trade routes.

The document discusses the Trans-Saharan trade network, which was a set of connections across the Sahara Desert that allowed for the exchange of goods like gold between Africa and the Arab world. Travel along this route was difficult, involving camels and taking two months to cross the desert. The spread of Islam in Africa was facilitated by Arab merchants and traders who brought ideas, writing, and officials along the trade routes and many Africans converted, though they also kept some of their own traditions.Caribbean Studies changing african responses to european contact.doc

The document summarizes pre-Atlantic and Atlantic trade in West Africa. It discusses how West Africans engaged in long distance trade of commodities like gold, salt, textiles and agricultural goods with other continents prior to European contact. When the Portuguese arrived in the 1440s, the trade in enslaved Africans began to surpass gold as West Africa's main export. While slavery existed previously, the transatlantic slave trade transformed it into a larger system for accumulating wealth. African rulers cooperated by supplying captives to European traders as long as prices remained high. The triangular trade system then developed to exchange enslaved Africans from Africa to the Americas for goods like cotton, cloth and rum.5 - indian ocean trade and ideas ppt

The document discusses several major trade routes that connected different regions of Afro-Eurasia, including the Silk Road, Trans-Saharan routes, and Indian Ocean trade networks. It describes how these routes facilitated the spread of economic activity, religions like Buddhism, Hinduism, and Christianity, and diseases such as bubonic plague. Key commodities traded along the routes included silk, spices, tea, horses, and various agricultural and industrial goods. The routes also contributed to the transmission of ideas as merchants introduced new languages, cultural practices, and religions to places along the way.Contacts In Africa

The document summarizes early contacts between Africa and other parts of the world from 1000-1652 AD. It discusses the Middle Eastern contact through Mansa Musa's pilgrimage to Mecca which encouraged Islamic culture in Africa. It also discusses brief early contact between Africa and China through trade expeditions in the early 1400s, as well as the initial contact between Africans and the Portuguese in the 1460s which was not a huge culture shock. Finally, it mentions the Dutch establishing the first permanent European settlement in Cape Town in 1652 to acquire cattle and develop agriculture.Saharian Trade Routes

West African empires like Mali and Songhai grew wealthy through trans-Saharan trade routes between North Africa and sub-Saharan Africa from 1050 to 1500. Camels and the invention of the camel saddle enabled traders to carry goods like gold, salt, and other resources across the vast Sahara Desert, connecting Mediterranean ports to southern African markets. Salt deposits in the desert were highly valuable, as salt was a precious and scarce commodity south of the Sahara, and traders could exchange salt for gold and other goods. This lucrative salt trade helped ancient empires like Mali and Ghana rise to power by taxing goods along the routes.African trading kingdoms

Powerful kingdoms emerged in West Africa due to the trans-Saharan salt-gold trade. The Empire of Ghana grew wealthy from taxing the trade between North and West Africa. The Empire of Mali later invaded Ghana and established control over the salt-gold trade, becoming enormously wealthy under Mansa Musa who went on Hajj to Mecca. His pilgrimage established Mali's wealth and prominence. The trading empires grew rich from controlling the trade routes and taxing the goods that passed through their territories.01

This document summarizes the early history of Chinese settlement in Batavia (now Jakarta) in the 17th century. It discusses how the Dutch East India Company, led by Governor-General Jan Pieterszoon Coen, forcibly brought Chinese men, women and children to Batavia to populate the city and support the Company's economic activities. The Chinese played an important role in Batavia's development as merchants, farmers and craftspeople. A system of ethnic community leadership, with a headman called a "captain," was implemented to govern the growing Chinese population. Over time Batavia became an important center of Chinese settlement in the Dutch East Indies.African kingdoms

It describes the origins, locations, trade networks, religions, leaders, and declines of each civilization. Ghana developed along the Niger and Gambia Rivers between 300-1100 AD and grew wealthy through trade and taxing traders. Nubia existed along the Nile River in modern-day Sudan and had cultural similarities to Egypt. Powerful kings led Mali to expand after 1200 AD, and Mansa Musa made it extremely wealthy through gold trade.

The document summarizes three West African empires:
1) The Ghana Empire (750-1076) was founded by the Soninke people and ruled by a powerful king. It had a large army and controlled the gold and salt trade routes through a "silent barter system" without direct communication between traders.
2) The Mali Empire (1100-1400) was founded by Sundiata and expanded under powerful kings called Mansas. It converted to Islam and seized gold producing areas, controlling the trans-Saharan trade routes. Cities like Timbuktu became major trading hubs.

Beginning in the late 1400s, Spain built a vast American empire through conquest and colonization. Key events included Hernan Cortes' defeat of the Aztec Empire in Mexico in 1521 and Francisco Pizarro's conquest of the Inca Empire in Peru in the 1530s. Disease brought by Europeans devastated native populations. Spain imposed its culture and extracted wealth, particularly silver and gold, through the encomienda system which abused native laborers. By the mid-1500s Spain had established colonies across Latin America and parts of North America, becoming the richest and most powerful nation through its American territories.West african kingdoms

Africa traded gold for salt with Arabia due to geographic and health factors. Africans needed salt to survive hot climates where they lost salt through sweat, while gold was common but useless in Africa. This made Africans willing to trade gold for salt. The location of Ghana along trade routes between salt and gold sources contributed to its growth as a powerful empire, though its influence decreased as residents converted to Islam after the city was divided between African and Muslim sections. Mali rose as an empire as it embraced Islam, with the ruler Mansa Musa gaining fame during a hajj pilgrimage that spread knowledge of Mali.Africa Review slides

The three major West African kingdoms of Ghana, Mali, and Songhay prospered from trade. Ghana lasted from 750-1075 AD as a prominent trading hub of gold. Mali then rose to power from 1200-1500 AD under Mansa Musa, becoming the second largest empire after Mongolia. Songhay broke away from Mali in 1350 and expanded along the Niger River until internal revolts caused its fall in 1600.

As we have seen in previous modules, there has been an explosion of interest in studying the Transatlantic Slave Trade, its volume, direction, and, as we will see in future modules, its effects on Europe and Africa. Nevertheless, a glaring gap remains in the literature on the role of West Africa. In Module 3, we examined African societies and states prior to and during the Transatlantic Slave Trade era. While the readings for that module present a concise narrative of a larger region of Africa, the information can be daunting and difficult to understand on its own. Students in the United States often have only a limited knowledge of African history, a topic that is not studied sufficiently in American schools. Furthermore, Africa in the period 1500 to 1800 consisted of thousands of different languages and ethnic groups, dozens of kingdoms and other political entities, and various regional climates.

A new approach to understanding Africas history of the slave trade is to take micro or regional approaches. The Voyages database now allows scholars to estimate which particular regions of Africa supplied most of the captives in the trade. Using this information, scholars conducted case studies of individual regions of West Africa, or, in the case of the historian we will study in this present module, an individual port town.
Africa is perhaps the most diverse continent in the world, consisting of a multitude of languages, ethnic groups, climates, and geographies. These differences shaped the continents history. Moreover, prior to and during the era of the Transatlantic Slave Trade, there were massive political changes in the Western portion of the continent (new political entities rose and fell with significant regularity, for example) that shaped the evolution of the trade.
Compounding the complexities of studying the trade, European nations had shifting experiences in trading with West Africa. Some European ships traded mainly with one particular region of West Africa in order to develop relationships and establish ties with communities. For example, Portuguese merchants tended to trade predominantly in the region in the modern nation of Angola, while English merchants traded heavily in the regions in the modern nations of Ghana and Nigeria. The French, on the other hand, traded overwhelmingly with the regions in the modern nation of Senegal. However, some European traders took the opposite approach and visited several different regions during individual voyages to diversify the ethnic origins of their slaves.
Individual African communities also had shifting experiences in the trade, exporting many captives in one era, tapering off their connection to the trade in another era, and re-entering the trade again decades later. Given the number of variables involved, arriving at a cohesive narrative of African history during this era is rather complicated.

Furthermore, Africa in the period 1500 to 1800 consisted of thousands of different languages and ethnic groups, dozens of kingdoms and other political entities, and various regional climates.

A new approach to understanding Africas history of the slave trade is to take micro or regional approaches. The Voyages database now allows scholars to estimate which particular regions of Africa supplied most of the captives in the trade. Using this information, scholars conducted case studies of individual regions of West Africa, or, in the case of the historian we will study in this present module, an individual port town.
Africa is perhaps the most diverse continent in the world, consisting of a multitude of languages, ethnic groups, climates, and geographies. These differences shaped the continents history. Moreover, prior to and during the era of the Transatlantic Slave Trade, there were massive political changes in the Western portion of the continent (new political entities rose and fell with significant regularity, for example) that shaped the evolution of the trade.
Compounding the complexities of studying the trade, European nations had shifting experiences in trading with West Africa. Some European ships traded mainly with one particular region of West Africa in order to develop relationships and establish ties with communities. For example, Portuguese merchants tended to trade predominantly in the region in the modern nation of Angola, while English merchants traded heavily in the regions in the modern nations of Ghana and Nigeria. The French, on the other hand, traded overwhelmingly with the regions in the modern nation of Senegal. However, some European traders took the opposite approach and visited several different regions during individual voyages to diversify the ethnic origins of their slaves.
Individual African communities also had shifting experiences in the trade, exporting many captives in one era, tapering off their connection to the trade in another era, and re-entering the trade again decades later. Given the number of variables involved, arriving at a cohesive narrative of African history during this era is rather complicated.

The Trans-Saharan TradeKara Bell

The Trans-Saharan trade was a constant source of wealth for West African kingdoms like Mali and Songhai, strengthening their economies. Wealth came from taxing foreign ships that traded on the Atlantic coast and from the demand for salt and gold. The trade concessions on the coast generated tax revenue, while resources like salt and gold were in high demand from other empires. This allowed kingdoms to gain income and strengthen their rule through economic advantages from the Trans-Saharan trade network.West African Kingdoms

The document discusses West African kingdoms and their interactions with Europeans through trade and slavery. It describes how West Africans had advanced societies and traded gold, spices, and other goods as part of an extensive trading network. When Europeans entered the trade, some West African elites helped supply slaves, which the Europeans transported to the Americas. While the Portuguese initially hoped to colonize Africa, they found African armies strong and faced deadly tropical diseases, so they focused on trade instead of settlement. Trade benefited both African kingdoms and the growing Portuguese economy.600 -1450 powerpoint

During the period from 600 to 1450 CE, several major developments occurred globally. Large religions expanded their influence, while nomadic groups like the Bedouins and Mongols impacted many regions through migration and conquest. A new religion, Islam, arose and spread widely. Empires developed in Mesoamerica, South America, China, and parts of Africa and West Asia. Long distance trade intensified along routes like the Silk Road and Indian Ocean, connecting diverse regions and cultures. The Crusades brought Europeans into global trade networks, and the vast Mongol Empire briefly united much of Eurasia before eventually fracturing.Chapter 8

This document summarizes trade networks that developed across different regions between 500-1500 CE. It discusses the Silk Roads that connected China, India, the Middle East and Mediterranean societies, facilitating the spread of goods, cultures and diseases. It also describes the Indian Ocean trade network enabled by monsoon winds, and the key role of India. Major port cities emerged in Southeast Asia and East Africa engaged in the lucrative Indian Ocean trade. In West Africa, trans-Saharan trade routes developed using camels, connecting the Mediterranean world with West African empires involved in the gold trade. The Americas had more localized trade due to geographic barriers, but states like the Maya, Aztec and Inca developed important trade networks within their regions.His 2002 Ch 13

The document discusses Marco Polo's travels to China in the late 1200s and how his writings popularized knowledge of lands beyond Europe. It also discusses how increased trade between Western Europe and Eastern lands like China occurred after the Crusades, as contact during the Crusades exposed Europeans to new ideas and goods. Trade routes developed across Asia and the Mediterranean, with Italian city-states like Venice playing a large role in moving goods between Europe and other regions.European Technological Advancements

1. In the 15th century, European nations began exploring in search of wealth, resources, and trade routes to Asia in order to acquire valuable goods like spices and silk.
2. Technological advancements like the caravel ship and navigational instruments such as the compass and astrolabe enabled European explorers like the Portuguese and Spanish to connect different places and dominate global trade and colonial expansion.
3. Europe benefited from contact with other cultures, gaining knowledge of technologies from Asia that provided advantages in exploration and controlling trade networks between continents.2exploring the americas

1) Portugal led early European exploration in the 1400s, seeking new trade routes to Asia. Prince Henry established a school of navigation to aid exploration. Bartolomeu Dias sailed around the Cape of Good Hope in 1487, and Vasco da Gama reached India by sailing around Africa in 1497.
2) Christopher Columbus sailed west in 1492 hoping to reach Asia, but landed in the Americas instead. He incorrectly believed he had reached Asia and called the native people "Indians."
3) Spain funded Columbus's voyage seeking new trade routes and hoping to spread Christianity. His successful first voyage led to three more trips, establishing the first permanent European colony in the Americas.Saharian Trade Routes

West African empires like Mali and Songhai grew wealthy through trans-Saharan trade routes between North Africa and sub-Saharan Africa from 1050 to 1500. Camels and the invention of the camel saddle enabled traders to carry goods like gold, salt, and ivory across the vast Sahara Desert, connecting Mediterranean ports to southern African markets. Salt from the Sahara was especially valuable and was often traded for gold and other goods, fueling the rise of powerful empires in West Africa through taxing trade along these routes.More from abbutler76 (7)

The test proctor should remove the manipulatives and materials from the walls that are not allowed during testing according to the Examiner's Manual. The proctor should also verify that only approved materials are available for students to use if they choose. Continuing the test with non-approved materials present would violate test security protocols.Butler.nov11.practicum log
