Bantu migrations and contacts with Egypt, Rome, Christianity, and Islam contributed to diversity. A succession of powerful West African kingdoms controlled the Saharan trade routes between 800 and 1600. Along the coast of East Africa, Indian Ocean trade routes led to the growth of prosperous city states. Art and oral literature fostered common values. Concepts & Understandings Concepts Understandings Climate Zones Desertification Bantu Migrations Gold – Salt Trade Triangular Trade Network (East Africa, Middle East/ Asia, Europe) Triangular Trade Network (West Africa, Europe, Americas) Cultural Diffusion Lineage (matrilineal, patrilineal) Bondage Slavery Colonization Exploitation Under-development The methods of and motivations for exploration and conquest resulted in increased global interactions, differing patterns of trade, colonization, and conflict among nations. Colonization was inspired by the desire to have access to resources and markets, often at the expense of the indigenous culture, population, and environment. Climate zones and the geography of Africa influenced the development of its peoples’ cultures, economies and interactions with other parts of the world. The triangular trade networks of East and West African states influenced African economies as well as, through cultural diffusion, contributed to cultural/religious diversity of these regions. The slave trade negatively impacted African societies and, in part, was responsible for European exploitation of the region. It also led to the loss of native traditions for the enslaved peoples. West Africa’s use of oral tradition as means of passing down history contributed to both the disappearance and survival of African traditions among enslaved Africans. The exploitation of Africa’s resources by European powers led to colonization of the area, and consequently, negatively impacted the region’s ability for self-reliance and economic and political stability in the post-colonial period. Most of Africa remains under-developed and plagued by conflict at present.

During the 1200s and 1300s, the Mongols ruled much of Asia. After the fall of the Mongols, the Ming dynasty restored Chinese culture, while Korea and Japan were heavily influenced by Chinese civilization, each maintained its own identity. Concepts & Understandings Concepts Understandings Tributary state Land reform Golden Age Confucianism Buddhism Restoration Dynasty Selective borrowing Centralized feudalism Shognate Asian empires and/or kingdoms depended on tributary states for revenue, while affording them limited self-government, therefore avoiding uprisings. Land reform was in integral part of Asian empires’ economic growth and prosperity. Asian societies experienced Golden Ages during periods of peace and economic stability, under the rule of the Tang and Song Dynasties, as well as under the rule of the Mongolians. The restoration of power to native dynasties in Asian states often led to periods of isolation. Shogunate-based centralized feudalism in Japan, led to stability and economic growth; it also worked to maintain a strict class system.

New theories, based on natural laws, about the relationship between people and governments emerged, including ideas about natural rights, popular sovereignty and the social contract. Economic theories such as laizzes faire emerged, changing states’ economic behaviors and, in time, leading to further exploration and competition for land and resources. The thinkers of the time period examined ideas about government; this eventually led to revolutions and/or reforms aimed at creating constitutional and republican forms of governments. The ideas that Emerged during the Enlightenment, spread throughout Europe and the world, and influenced revolutions in Europe and the Americas during the 1700 and 1800s.

The Age of Napoleon will be examined in terms of military and political conquest and social, economic and political reforms. Concepts & Understandings Concepts Understandings Bourgeoisie Deficit spending Republicanism Reforms Suffrage Nationalism Secularism Legitimacy Age of Napoleon Discontent with prevailing economic, political, and social conditions was the impetus for change, which resulted in revolution or reform. Industrialized nations embarked on a competitive race for global resources and markets, resulting in the establishment of political and economic control over large regions of the world that had a long lasting impact. The French society, influenced by ideas of the Enlightenment, called for the end of the old regime and estate-based social structure, and for social and economic reform. Deficit spending resulting from involvement in wars caused debt to the French monarchy. Ensuing economic hardships were an impetus for upheaval and the revolution. Revolutionaries called for reforms including universal male suffrage. French nationalism grew during the revolution and served as a means for revolutionaries to gain support for their cause. During the Age of Napoleon, France expanded power, conquered much of Europe and beyond. Under Napoleon’s rule socioeconomic reforms took place and nationalism grew. As a result of the revolution, a more secular government and society emerged. European monarchies attempted to restore power by placing “legitimate monarchs” on European thrones after the fall of Napoleon.

The complex system of alliances, compounded with imperialism and the growth of nationalism, among both the conquerors and the conquered, pushed European nations into total war. The ensuing war changed the existing balance of power in Europe and resulted in the creation of new sovereign states. However, this change did not solve all the initial problems that led to the war. It did, however, set the stage for the events that would unfold during the proceeding century. Concepts & Understandings Concepts Understandings Pacifism Militarism Neutrality Modern Warfare Propaganda Self-determination Genocide Collective security League of Nations At the outbreak of the war, many advocated pacifism as a solution to international conflicts. Their ideas came in direct conflict with governments’ use of nationalism and propaganda to gain popular support for the war. Neutral nations were pulled into the war, leading to the war becoming a global conflict. Increasing militarism, compounded with advances in military technology led to the war becoming a “war of atrocity”. WWI was a total war that claimed millions of lives and permeated every aspect of the nations involved, including people’s daily lives and the restructuring of economies. The war resulted in a new international order, outlined by the Paris Peace Conference and the formation of League of Nations that aimed at assuring collective security. Self-determination of nations became an important idea that led to the creation of new European states. Problems associated with ethnic divisions and conflicts were not solved however. WWI’s Armenian Genocide marked the beginning of a century of genocides. Learning Targets CPI Codes 6.2.12. A.4.a 6.2.12. A.4.c 6.2.12.

The Great Depression of the 1930s created financial chaos and widespread suffering throughout the industrialized world. Scientific discoveries, new trends in the arts, and social changes contributed to a sense of uncertainty. This uncertainty, in part, contributed to the attraction of ideologies such as fascism and communism, as those had promised security and order, and to the rise of totalitarian regimes. In the 1920s, Mussolini created a Fascist state in Italy. In the 1930s, Hitler rose to power, turning Germany into a Nazi dictatorship. Concepts & Understandings Concepts Understandings Margin buying Overproduction Disarmament Depression Fascism Dictatorship Totalitarianism Nazism Reparations During the 1930s, margin buying and overproduction were some of the factors that contributed to a worldwide economic depression. Disarmament agreements formed after WWI were ignored by European dictators, resulting in militarization and aggressive pursuit of territorial conquests. Dictators such as Hitler, Franco and Mussolini formed totalitarian regimes. Fascist ideologies promised order and security, and led to extremist nationalism. The Nazi Party in Germany gained power and supported extremist nationalism while passing laws to disenfranchise political and cultural minorities, setting the stage for the Holocaust that would soon follow.

Problems that led to World War I were not completely solved after the war. In fact, the conditions of the Treaty of Versailles created new resentments, especially for Germany who was held responsible for the war. After the German invasion of Poland in September 1939, Britain and France declared war on Germany. Quickly, the war erupted into a global conflict, as the Soviet Union first joined the Axis powers and later, after Germany’s invasion of USSR, joined the Allies. Initially, the Axis powers made decisive gains; however, eventually it was the Allies who were victorious. German Nazis systematically destroyed Jews, Poles and other ethnic minorities, as well as members of political opposition and groups deemed as “undesirables” in the Holocaust. Germany finally surrendered in May 1945, and Japan surrendered the following September, after atomic bombs destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Later, the Soviet Union and the United States engaged in a Cold War of conflicting ideologies and mutual distrust. Concepts & Understandings Concepts Appeasement Blitzkrieg Phony War Operation Barbarossa Genocide Collaborator Anti-Semitism Holocaust Island-hopping Containment Satellite United Nations Understandings The failure of the Treaty of Versailles, the impact of the global depression, and the expansionist policies and actions of Axis nations are viewed as major factors that resulted in World War II. World Wars I and II were “total wars” in which nations mobilized entire populations and economies and employed new military tactics that resulted in unprecedented death and destructions, as well as drastic changes in political boundaries. Blitzkrieg tactics allowed Germany to speedily take over Europe. Economic, technological, and military power and bureaucracies have been used by nations to deliberately and systematically destroy ethnic/racial, political, and cultural groups. The Holocaust has been the largest genocide, up to date, in modern history. Europeans risked their lives to save the lives of those from the oppressed groups during the Holocaust; however, there were also those individuals and governments who collaborated with the Nazis. Numerous genocides have taken place in the century following World War II all over the world. The United Nations was formed to address the need for collective security after the war. World War II challenged economic and political power structures and gave rise to a new balance of power in the world. The Cold War unfolded after the war, with the U.S. and U.S.S.R. competing for power.
