• The Silk Roads• The Mediterranean Sea• The Trans-Saharan• The Indian Ocean basins

What type of goods were transported along the silk routes?

What civilizations/empires did it influence?

What else travelled along the routes? Who benefited most from the silk

routes?

The growth of interregional trade in luxury goods was encouraged by significant innovations in previously existing transportation and commercial technologies,

including more sophisticated caravan organization use of the compass, astrolabe, and larger

ship designs in sea travel new forms of credit and monetization

Page 10: Mr. Watson Burnaby North Secondary School 2011/2012

What impact did the compass have on international/inter-empire trade?

How would long distance credit influence trade?

How would more efficient caravan organization enhance trade?

Page 14: Mr. Watson Burnaby North Secondary School 2011/2012
Page 15: Mr. Watson Burnaby North Secondary School 2011/2012

Commercial growth was also facilitated by state practices, trading organizations, and state-sponsored commercial infrastructures like the Grand Canal in China and Hanseatic League

Page 16: Mr. Watson Burnaby North Secondary School 2011/2012

The expansion of empires facilitated Trans-Eurasian trade and communication as new peoples were drawn into their conquerors’ economies and trade networks

Examples China Byzantium Caliphates Mongols

Page 19: Mr. Watson Burnaby North Secondary School 2011/2012

The expansion and intensification of long-distance trade routes often depended on environmental knowledge and technological adaptations to it.

Page 20: Mr. Watson Burnaby North Secondary School 2011/2012

The way the Arabs and Berbers adapted camels to travel across and around the Sahara

The way Scandinavian Vikings used their longships to travel in coastal and open waters as well as in rivers and estuaries

Page 21: Mr. Watson Burnaby North Secondary School 2011/2012
Page 22: Mr. Watson Burnaby North Secondary School 2011/2012

Required examples of migration and their environmental impact:

The migration of Bantu-speaking peoples who facilitated transmission of iron technologies and agricultural techniques in Sub-Saharan Africa

The maritime migrations of the Polynesian peoples who cultivated transplanted foods and domesticated animals as they moved to new islands

Page 23: Mr. Watson Burnaby North Secondary School 2011/2012
Page 24: Mr. Watson Burnaby North Secondary School 2011/2012
Page 25: Mr. Watson Burnaby North Secondary School 2011/2012

Some migrations and commercial contacts led to the diffusion of languages throughout a new region or the emergence of new languages

The spread of Bantu languages including Swahili

The spread of Turkic and Arabic languages

Islam, based on the revelations of the prophet Muhammad, developed in the Arabian peninsula. The beliefs and practices of Islam reflected interactions among Jews, Christians, and Zoroastrians with the local Arabian peoples. Muslim rule expanded to many parts of Afro-Eurasia due to military expansion, and Islam subsequently expanded through the activities of merchants and missionaries.

Page 29: Mr. Watson Burnaby North Secondary School 2011/2012
Page 30: Mr. Watson Burnaby North Secondary School 2011/2012

In key places along important trade routes, merchants set up diasporic communities where they introduced their own cultural traditions into the indigenous culture

Page 31: Mr. Watson Burnaby North Secondary School 2011/2012

Jewish communities in the Mediterranean, Indian Ocean basin, or along the Silk Roads

The writings of certain interregional travelers illustrate both the extent and the limitations of intercultural knowledge and understanding.

Examples Ibn Battuta Marco Polo Xuanzang

Page 34: Mr. Watson Burnaby North Secondary School 2011/2012

"[The sultan] has a lofty pavilion, of which the door is inside his house, where he sits for most of the time. . . . There came forth from the gate of the palace about 300 slaves, some carrying in their hands bows and others having in their hands short lances and shields. . . Then two saddled and bridled horses are brought, with two rams which, they say, are effective against the evil eye. . . . Dugha, the interpreter, stands at the gate of the council-place wearing fine garments of silk brocade and other materials, and on his head a turban with fringes which they have a novel way of winding. . . . The troops, governors, young men, slaves, the Masufa, and others sit outside the council-place in a broad street where there are trees. . . . Inside the council-place beneath the arches a man is standing. Anyone who wishes to address the sultan addresses Dugha and Dugha addresses that man standing and that man standing addresses the sultan. If one of them addresses the sultan and the latter [the Sultan] replies he uncovers the clothes from his back and sprinkles dust on his head and back, like one washing himself with water. I used to marvel how their eyes did not become blinded."

How does this passage provide evidence of Mali's wealth?

West Africa was considered the edge of the Muslim World. Many scholars claim West Africa had a blend of Islamic and traditional West African customs. What customs do you think were of West African origin?

What do you think are Ibn Battuta's impressions of the public sitting ceremony? Do you think this ceremony was typical in the Muslim world?

Increased cross-cultural interactions resulted in the diffusion of literary, artistic, and cultural traditions

Page 38: Mr. Watson Burnaby North Secondary School 2011/2012

example of the diffusion of literary, artistic and cultural traditions, either

The influence ofNeoconfucianism and Buddhism in East Asia

Hinduism and Buddhism in Southeast Asia Islam in Sub-Saharan Africa and

Southeast Asia Toltec/Mexica and Inca traditions in

Mesoamerica and Andean America

Page 39: Mr. Watson Burnaby North Secondary School 2011/2012

Increased cross-cultural interactions also resulted in the diffusion of scientific and technological traditions.

Page 40: Mr. Watson Burnaby North Secondary School 2011/2012

The influence of Greek and Indian mathematics on Muslim scholars

The return of Greek science and philosophy to Western Europe via Muslim al-Andalus in Iberia

The spread of printing and gunpowder technologies from East Asia into the Islamic empires and Western Europe

There was continued diffusion of crops and pathogens throughout the Eastern Hemisphere along the trade routes.

New foods and agricultural techniques were adopted in populated areas.

throughout Dar al-Islam and the Mediterranean basin

The spread of epidemic diseases, including the Black Death, followed the well established paths of trade and military conquest.

This is an example of change and continuity over time…

Page 52: Mr. Watson Burnaby North Secondary School 2011/2012

Empires collapsed and were reconstituted; in some regions new state forms emerged

Following the collapse of empires, most reconstituted governments, including the Byzantine Empire and the Chinese dynasties — Sui, Tang, and Song

combined traditional sources of power and legitimacy with innovations better suited to the current circumstances.

Page 53: Mr. Watson Burnaby North Secondary School 2011/2012

Write down an example or two of each of these traditional sources of power in the empires listed in the previous slide:

Patriarchy Religion Land-owning elites

Page 54: Mr. Watson Burnaby North Secondary School 2011/2012

New methods of taxation Tributary systems Adaptation of religious institutions.

Page 55: Mr. Watson Burnaby North Secondary School 2011/2012

In some places, new forms of governance emerged, including those developed in various Islamic states, the Mongol Khanates, city-states, and decentralized government (feudalism) in Europe and Japan.

Interregional contacts and conflicts between states and empires encouraged significant technological and cultural transfers.
