Let’s review the AP World Time Periods!

As we review, let’s discuss some major events and figures for each

time period!

Big Picture Idea• The interconnection of the Eastern and

Western hemispheres by transoceanic voyages shaped the period of 1450-1750.

• How were these voyages made possible?

New tools

• Astrolabe• Caravels• Revised maps

Astrolabe

http://www.astrolabes.org/pages/mariner.htm

•Used to determine time of sunrise, sunset, and identify celestial positions

•Mariner’s Astrolabe(popular in late 15th-early 16th centuries)- could help determine latitude (but not longitude) at sea

Innovations in ship design

• CaravelsThese ships (better designed),along with a better understandingof wind and currents patternsmade transoceanic travel and trade possible

Medieval European map

Q: How are these maps different?

Page 9: Aim: To understand what factors enabled a more connected world during the 1450-1750 time period.

• Medieval European maps were often more allegorical or ecclesiastical than cartographic.

• The 16th century map represents a vast increase in cartographic detail for the East and West coasts of the Americas in only twenty years of exploration.

• Trans Saharan Trade • Silk Road• Indian Ocean Trade• Mediterranean Trade

During the 1450-1750 period there were intensifications of all regional trade networks

(CONTINUITY from 600-1450 time period!)

What were the major benefits and drawbacks of the Columbian Exchange?

Page 26: Aim: To understand what factors enabled a more connected world during the 1450-1750 time period.

Major outcomes

• Portuguese development of a school for navigation (Prince Henry the Navigator) led to travel and trade with West Africa

• Spanish sponsorship of the Columbian and subsequent voyages across the Atlantic and Pacific dramatically increased European interest in transoceanic travel and trade

• No major impact on Oceania and Polynesia because of infrequent European reconnaissance in the Pacific Ocean (until 1750 anyway)

How did these voyages result in cultural diffusion?

• New products, diseases, and technologies introduced• The inclusion of the Americas in global trade• New social organization in the Americas• New political organization in the Americas• Spread of beliefs and syncretism • New markets and commodities• Silver became an important form of currency• Population changes• Mercantilism caused the formation of joint-stock companies (a group of investors

financially backed a colony) which European rulers used to control their domestic/colonial economies

• Encomienda system• Plantation Monoculture• Sugar and Tobacco were examples of cash crops. What source of labor was used to

cultivate them?

Example of syncretism: Vodou in Haiti

• “The majority of Haitians today practice Vodou, a syncretic religion melding West African and Catholic religious elements. Most Haitians also consider themselves Catholic or Protestant as well. In the past, these identities were two sides of the same coin, allowing Haitians to participate in both realms equally. However, Haitian traditional practices of spirit possession, honoring multiple deities, and animal sacrifice are sources of misunderstanding and prejudice for immigrants in America. Therefore, Haitian immigrants often attend Christian churches and publicly deny any connection to the Vodou religion in order to avoid bias from their new community. Yet, in times of duress, many Haitians still turn to Vodou priests and priestesses to intervene with the spirits on their behalf, and some still attend yearly ceremonies to ensure they remain in favor with the Vodou spirits. Spiritually, this is a dangerous practice because the practitioners believe that if the Vodou spirits feel ignored or spurned, they can lash out at practitioners in devastating ways.”

• Based on the research of Elizabeth Thomas Crocker (Boston University)
