religions remained in place.

the course of history during this era, not to mention the influence of others
such as the Vikings (pre 1450)
◦ Islam began in the 7th century and rapidly spread throughout the Middle
East, Northern Africa, Europe, and Southeast Asia, forever transforming the
societies it came into contact with through all historical periods after.
◦ Europe was not a major civilization area before 600 CE, but..by 1450 it was
slowly transforming economically, socially, and politically, and some of its
kingdoms were beginning to assert world power.
◦ Major empires rose, developed and fell in both South America (the Inca) and
Mesoamerica (Aztec)
◦ China grew to have cultural and political hegemony over many other areas
of Asia as it reunified and experienced a commercial revolution that helped
it become one of the largest and most prosperous empires of the time.

amount and complexity of trade and contact increased significantly. Land vs.
