Agents of the European powers moved into existing trade networks around the world. In Africa and the greater Indian Ocean, nascent European empires consisted mainly of interconnected trading posts and enclaves. In the Americas, European empires moved more quickly to settlement and territorial control, responding to local demographic and commercial conditions.]]> 2019-01-30 14:07:23 UTC https://padlet.com/klue/7eb2a3yz45v1/wish/325832690 4.3 smehta5 https://padlet.com/klue/7eb2a3yz45v1/wish/325832916  A state has political legitimacy when subjects choose to recognize its authority because it has some intrinsic validating quality. Notions used by states to legitimize their rule in this period (1450-1750) are examples of important continuities of state-building we have seen since the River Valley Civilizations in Period I. Religion and art continued to be closely connected with the political power of states. ]]> 2019-01-30 14:07:58 UTC https://padlet.com/klue/7eb2a3yz45v1/wish/325832916 European Notions smehta5 https://padlet.com/klue/7eb2a3yz45v1/wish/325833484  The divine right of kings is an important political ideology in Western Europe. It maintains that the king’s authority comes from God and, as such, the king is accountable only to God for his actions. Thus it supports the idea of absolute monarchy in which the monarch’s power is not checked by any earthly agent. ]]> 2019-01-30 14:09:25 UTC https://padlet.com/klue/7eb2a3yz45v1/wish/325833484 Human Sacrifice smehta5 https://padlet.com/klue/7eb2a3yz45v1/wish/325834067 The sacrificial system

Around the world, empires and states of varying sizes pursued strategies of centralization, including more efficient taxation systems that placed strains on peasant producers, sometimes prompting local rebellions. Rulers used public displays of art and architecture to legitimize state power. African states shared certain characteristics with larger Eurasian empires. Changes in African and global trading patterns strengthened some West and Central African states — especially on the coast; this led to the rise of new states and contributed to the decline of states on both the coast and in the interior.
