Strayer, intro to part 4
January 10 Strayer, intro to part 4 pg.546
"The early modern era", In using this term, historians are suggesting that during these three centuries we can find some initial signs or makers of the modern world, such as those described at the end of chapter 12, the beginnings of genuine globalization, elements of distinctly modern societies, and a growing European presence in world affairs. The most obvious expression of globalization, of course, lay in the oceanic journeys of European explorers and the European conquest and colonial settlement of the Americans. The Atlantic slave trade linked Africa permanently to the Western Hemisphere, while the global sliver trade allowed europeans to use new world precious metals to buy their way into ancient asian trade routes. The massive transfer of plants, animals, diseases, and people, known to historians as the columbian exchange, created wholly new networks of interaction across both the Atlantic and pacific oceans, with enormous global implications. Missionaries carried christianity far beyond Europe, allowing it to become. genuinely world religion with a presence in the americas, china, Japan, the Philippines and south central Africa. Other threads in the emerging global web were also woven as Russians marched across Siberia to the pacific as china expanded deep into inner Asia and as the Ottoman Empire encompassed much of the Middle East, North Africa and southerasyern europe, scattered signs of what later generations thought of as modernity appeared in various places aroudn the world". This was typed out from a section of our history book
So technically for this entire chapter it is discussing on how many places expanded and also how many goods were to be shared and also shipped to one another. It greatly shows on how on another expands their territory in very good size and also in a way when sharing these goods they are also adapting the ways of others. I wrote this section from the book because I think it will help me study for upcoming work about it and also believe that this specific section will help me memorize what the chapter was about. The slave trade was not only very brutal to the slaves but also very complex. Reading sections about how the slavery happened and ect, there was at one point where they were discussing on how the slaves would be transported from place to place to when they were bought, and one thing that really stuck with me was on how some slaves would jump off the boat before reaching to their destination. They thought that would be a better way to go out then instead to be working and ect harshly for hours and hours, some people even died on the boat before making it to their destination because of how bad the conditions were and also how crowded everyone was. In some places they were treated more badly then others, like for example in Brazil they were even given a life expantance time because of how bruital they were being treated, I believe they said they would live on to only a couple years like 1 to 2 years was their life expantcy spand. But other then that I believe the passage I typed in from the book would help me memorize what the chapter was about.
