• 6/10 Focus:
• Do Now:
– Complete the Regents Review Warm up
Questions
• The mountainous
topography (terrain) of
Greece resulted in widely
scattered settlements
that developed into many
small independent citystates. (The geography
of Greece prevented the
ancient Greek city-states
from uniting to form a
single nation.)
• The city-state of Athens practiced
direct democracy.
• The city-state of Sparta was very
different from Athens.
– Sparta placed more emphasis on military
service. Boys in Sparta were trained to be
soldiers.
– Sparta’s government was not democratic.
People had little voice in government.
• SOCRATES, PLATO, and ARISTOTLE
were philosophers of ancient Greece.
• The AGE OF PERICLES in Athens was a
GOLDEN AGE that produced
outstanding contributions in the arts
and sciences.
• ALEXANDER THE
GREAT’S conquests
caused the expansion
of HELLENISTIC
CULTURE.
• The blending of
GREEK, PERSIAN,
EGYPTIAN, and
INDIAN cultures
into Hellenistic
culture demonstrates
cultural diffusion.
• The Roman Empire extended over three
continents, surrounding the MEDITERRANEAN
SEA.
• The Mediterranean
Sea was the center of
Roman TRADE. The
Roman Empire grew
wealthy because it
developed extensive
trade networks.
• A SYSTEM OF
ROADS helped unify
the Roman Empire.
– Note: A system of
roads helped to unify
the INCA EMPIRE in
the Andes Mountains
of South America,
too.
• The Romans developed a form of
government known as the REPUBLIC
• Preserved GREEK CULTURE (GrecoRoman Culture)
• The Fall of the Roman Empire in 476
A.D. led to the start of the Middle
Ages
– Note the rise and fall of the Roman Empire
is often compared with the HAN dynasty in
China
• The SHANG DYNASTY was China's first
dynasty. During Shang rule, kings controlled
small areas while loyal princes and nobles
governed most of the land.
• To justify their rebellion against the Shang,
the Zhou people promoted the idea of the
MANDATE OF HEAVEN.
• The MANDATE OF HEAVEN is the Chinese
belief in the DIVINE RIGHT to rule.
• This process explaining the rise and fall of
dynasties is called the DYNASTIC CYCLE
• SHI HUANGDI constructed the Great Wall
of China. Over the centuries, the wall was
extended and rebuilt several times. Eventually,
it snaked for thousands of miles across
northern China.
• Shi Huangdi centralized power following the
principles of Qin LEGALISM.
– Legalists believed that rulers must achieve order
by passing STRICT LAWS and imposing HARSH
PUNISHMENTS.
• China grew wealthy because the Han
dynasty developed extensive trade
networks by opening the SILK ROAD
• Like the Roman Empire, the Han dynasty
promoted unity and communication by
building a STRONG SYSTEM OF
ROADS.
• Like the Roman Empire, The Han Empire
collapsed because of FOREIGN
INVASIONS, POLITICAL TURMOIL,
ECONOMIC PROBLEMS, and a
DECLINING MILITARY.
• The Mauryan Empire
controlled more of the
Indian subcontinent
than the Gupta Empire
did.
• Expansion was limited by
GEOGRAPHIC
FACTORS (The
Himalayas, the Hindu
Kush Mountains, the
Arabian Sea, and the
Bay of Bengal).
• Asoka promoted RELIGIOUS
TOLERATION and established codified
laws with the PILLARS OF ASOKA
• During the era of the GUPTA EMPIRE,
India experienced a golden age (a period
of prosperity and artistic creativity).
• Art and literature flourished.
• Indian scholars contributed to
mathematics by developing the
DECIMAL SYSTEM and the CONCEPT
OF ZERO.
• Indian provinces were united after 200
years of civil war.
• Indians used the SANSKRIT LANGUAGE
• Like Peter the Great of Russia, Mughal
emperor AKBAR THE GREAT was an
ABSOLUTE RULER who modernized and
expanded his empire using ideas from
other cultures.
• Akbar the Great is similar to Asoka
because he promoted religious
toleration
• The architectural achievements of ancient
Rome (e.g. the Coliseum), ancient Egypt (e.g.
the Pyramids), and ancient China (e.g. the
Great Wall of China) indicate that
ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY existed in early
civilizations.
• The PHOENICIANS are often referred to
as the “carriers of civilization” because they
traded goods and spread ideas throughout
the Mediterranean region.
