State Building 1450-1750: Map Comparison of EmpiresDirections: I have identified changes in states that occurred between 1450-1750 CE. You are going to come up with a CAUSATION LIST for the similarities or differences that I have identified. Try to identify as many causes as you can—we will then compare lists and award points for quantity and quality of causation.

By comparing and contrasting the maps, I noticed these things about the changes that occurred in the Americas.

The Inca and Aztec exist in 1519 but are gone from the map by 1600.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Very few states ever occupy the region to the north of the Islamic Empires.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Round 2: Try to stump the other groups by pointing out similarities and differences between the maps for each of the following regions. They will have to devise a reasonable CAUSATION for the point that you make.As a group we noticed these changes that occurred in Russia.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

As a group we noticed these changes that occurred in China.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

As a group, we noticed these changes that occurred in Japan.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

As a group, we noticed these changes that occurred worldwide.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
