peaks
Details- Going Global
Trade is extended through all parts of
the world.
Europe finally gains access to Asian
trade routes and attempts to control
them through choke points- fail
Europe uses American raw materialsespecially silver- to trade with Asia
Columbian Exchange
Global artistic influences led to
new European industries.
Trade &
Manufacturing
Chinese silks and Indian
cottons led to building of
English and French textile
factories.
Ottoman and Persian
ceramics led to Holland’s
Delft stoneware industry.
Chinese influence led English
manufacturers to try to make
“china” after they found the right
clay.
Details- Technology
Spread of shipping technology to
Europe as a result of the crusades and
experiments by Henry the Navigator
Improvements in gunpowder
technology- muskets and cannons.
Details- Demography
Disease killed millions of native Americans
Africans were forcibly transported to the new
world for work in plantation agriculture
Populations grew as new calorie-rich foods
were brought from the new world
Populations migrated to harsher climates as
food crops became available
Populations migrated from the old world to
the new world
Details- Social and Gender
structures
Americas- encomienda system
Muslim areas (Ottomans, Mughals)
Women in the harems wielded
considerable power behind the scenes
China- power struggle between the
Eunuchs and the Scholar Gentry
Details- Cultural and Intellectual
Expressions
Europe- Renaissance and reformation

church and challenges old beliefs
China ends contact with the outside
world as neo-Confucianism dominates.
Details- Structure and Function
of State
Empire remains the predominant political
structure. It is a coercive tribute system
European states such as Spain and Portugal,
but also France, England and the Dutch
perfect overseas empires by claiming territory
in the western hemisphere
Quing, Russia, Mughals, Ottomans and
Safavids are powerful land-based empires.
Trade- Can’t live without it!
Global trade is THE thing this time period!
Core-periphery theory:
Core states are manufacturing states.
Periphery states provide raw materials.
Semi-periphery supply both.
Three core zones:
China
India
West
Africa – shift from Trans-Saharan Arab/Local trade to TransAtlantic trade dominated by Europeans
Ottomans getting kicked out of Global trade – fight back by
trying to extend into Mediterranean – stopped at Lepanto
Changes and Continuities
Change: The Americas are added to world
trade network
Change: Europe becomes a Maritime area
Continuity: Trade is really important
Continuity: Religions continue to adapt to
new times, but very important
Continuity: Diffusion of ideas and diseases as
people come into contact with each other.
