    Study Notes

    The Rise of the Atlantic World

    • European colonization of the Americas was fueled by religious zeal, conquest, trade, wealth, and Renaissance ideals.
    • The discovery of America in 1492, navigating the southern African coast, and reaching India all contributed to the rise of the Atlantic world.
    • The Columbian Exchange brought the Americas, Australia, and other parts of the world into the global economy.
    • Key technological advancements of the time included the magnetic compass, improved ship design, and gunpowder.
    • The Treaty of Tordesillas in 1494 divided the world between Portugal (east) and Spain (west).
    • Significant voyages include Vasco da Gama reaching India in 1497 and Ferdinand Magellan circumnavigating the globe in 1519.
    • British dominance in the Atlantic world emerged because of their lighter and faster ships in comparison to Spanish and Portuguese ships.

    States and Societies in Africa

    • The Swahili people dominated the Indian Ocean trade routes, using Swahili cities like Malindi, Pate, Mogadishu, and Mombasa as centers of manufacturing and scholarship.
    • Portuguese colonization in the 16th century led to the sack of Kilwa in 1505, control over the Zambezi River, and establishment of sugar plantations using African captives.
    • The Omani empire eventually expelled the Portuguese from East Africa, leading to 200 years of Omani control.
    • Oral history played a crucial role in preserving African history, as written records were limited.

    Western Soudan

    • Kingdoms of Ghana, Mali, and Songhai arose in the region of the southern Sahara and the grasslands below, relying on trade and tributes.
    • Mansa Musa Keita, a prominent leader of Mali, made a famous pilgrimage to Mecca and is known for his wealth.
    • Oral traditions like the Mande Charter (Kourokan Fouga, 1236) helped document political systems and societal values.

    Global Connections

    • The Dutch and British East India Companies emerged in the 17th and 18th centuries, shifting power from government-funded colonization to individual profit-driven ventures.
    • The triangular trade pattern established in the Atlantic world involved rum, slaves, and sugar, linking New England, West Africa, and the Caribbean.
    • Mercantilism dominated economic practices, with European nations monopolizing shipping and manufacturing, while the rest of the world provided resources and markets.
    • The Columbian Exchange facilitated the transfer of ideas, plants, animals, and diseases between the Old and New Worlds.

    Islam and Muslim Expansion

    • Islam originated in the Arabian peninsula, with Muhammad as its founder.
    • The Five Pillars of Islam include Shahada (faith), Salat (prayer), Zakat (alms), Sawm (fasting), and Hajj (pilgrimage).
    • Jihad is a term that means striving, not a pillar of Islam.
    • Greater Jihad focuses on inner self-improvement, while Lesser Jihad refers to defense.
    • Muhammad faced many battles, including the Battle of Mu'tah and the Conquest of Mecca, demonstrating the importance of both defense and offensive strategies in early Islam.
