The Columbian Exchange was the exchange of new things; foods, animals, plants, diseases, technology; across the Atlantic mainly between Europe, Africa, and the Americas.

Exploration of the New World started with European interest in finding a quicker route to the new world than sailing around Africa. Christopher Columbus was an Italian explorer who was sponsored by the Spanish government to carry out this mission, but he instead found the Americas. When news of this new land reached back to Europe, kings and queens rushed to sponsor their own sailors to explore and establish colonies in the New World, however Portugal and Spain largely dominated at first. They settled the New World and introduced new things to both the Americas and Europe.]]> 2022-12-14 21:35:40 UTC https://padlet.com/811570/ua149d1vtr0306ku/wish/2421121313 8141022 https://padlet.com/811570/ua149d1vtr0306ku/wish/2421121526 2022-12-14 21:35:59 UTC https://padlet.com/811570/ua149d1vtr0306ku/wish/2421121526 8141022 https://padlet.com/811570/ua149d1vtr0306ku/wish/2421123533 2022-12-14 21:39:13 UTC https://padlet.com/811570/ua149d1vtr0306ku/wish/2421123533 https://padlet.com/811570/ua149d1vtr0306ku/wish/2421124681 1456 - 1750

Exploration around the African Coast began in 1456 when the Genoese (Italian) explorer Antonio de Noli discovered the islands of Cabo Verde of the coast or what is now Mauritania. Expeditions down the West Coast of Africa continued, with the Portuguese leading the charge, establishing colonies and trading posts along the way. In 1488 the Portuguese sailor first sailed around the Cape of Good Hope, but didn't make it all the way. The Portuguese, fueled by a desire to find a route to Africa, then sent Vasco de Gama who was able to make it to India. From this the Portuguese established a trading post empire by stationing port towns controlled by them in key areas all over India, Africa, and Southeast Asia.]]> 2022-12-14 21:40:35 UTC https://padlet.com/811570/ua149d1vtr0306ku/wish/2421124681 8141022 https://padlet.com/811570/ua149d1vtr0306ku/wish/2421125113 2022-12-14 21:41:12 UTC https://padlet.com/811570/ua149d1vtr0306ku/wish/2421125113 811570 https://padlet.com/811570/ua149d1vtr0306ku/wish/2421127430 Loti administration struggled
Akbar was an admirable ruler who's administration and social policies maintained the Mughal empire as a lasting dominion. 
He encouraged social change by banning practices like sati and widow remarriage. He also worked towards an empire that had Hindus and Muslims have reconciliation. After Akbar's death there were revolts against his sons for power. Jahangir and Shah Jahan lived an extravagant life in the splendorous Mughal empire. Akbar social policies started to disappeared with practices like sati came back. Administration, social policy, and military neglect, pressuring from enemies, and corrupt leaders caused the empire to go into a decline. ]]> 2022-12-14 21:44:53 UTC https://padlet.com/811570/ua149d1vtr0306ku/wish/2421127430 811570 https://padlet.com/811570/ua149d1vtr0306ku/wish/2421128104 Russia was an expansive empire on the rise after the Tatar left control.

She worked on creating a strong central government and was selective with the Western ideas could come into Russia.

Due to various rebellions by the Chinese, the Mongols would slowly be forced to retreat. Most historians have different views on the reasons the Mongols collapsed, but it is commonly thought to be due to overexpansion as they were unable to maintain control of their vast territory.

The Spanish and Portuguese Empires were very different in how they were run and what they did. The Spanish Empire was primarily in the New World and mostly functioned by growing crops and mining silver and gold that the Empire would profit from. Mostly slaves did this work, with the mita and encomienda systems being important to consider when understanding how it was organized. The Portuguese empire did similar things in Brazil, mainly focusing on the silver mines deep in the Amazon jungle, but the rest of their empire was a stark contrast. The rest of the Portuguese empire was mostly made up of trading posts dotted around the Indian Ocean and the Chinese and West African Coasts. Goa is quite notable in this regard as it was one of the most successful trading towns. These Portuguese exclaves didn't rely on slave labor and didn't produce the materials themselves, instead relying on goods from home or Brazil to sell to passing traders.]]> 2022-12-16 19:52:10 UTC https://padlet.com/811570/ua149d1vtr0306ku/wish/2423354399 https://padlet.com/811570/ua149d1vtr0306ku/wish/2423359408 Riley Buhl

As the Age of Enlightenment gained ground in Europe, similar ideas gained prominence in other areas of the world. Most notably would be the Creole people of New Spain, who were Spaniards not born in Iberia and therefore considered lesser, and their fight for rights against the Spanish Empire. The Creoles were able to lead the charge due to a unique political status allowing them to speak out against the government with very little punishment, and some were even placed in positions of power. When the Spanish Empire started to crumble due to trouble back home, the Creoles took advantage of the power vacuum and took control. There were also power changes in Europe, were autocracies and monarchies were overthrown by the people in exchange for more favorable governments such as democracies and parliamentary monarchies.]]> 2022-12-16 20:01:21 UTC https://padlet.com/811570/ua149d1vtr0306ku/wish/2423359408 8141022 https://padlet.com/811570/ua149d1vtr0306ku/wish/2423401908 With the arrival of the Muslims in the end of the seventh century, they would have a relatively low impact.

Trade across the Indian Ocean was first started by the Chinese general Zheng He as his fleet of trading and war ships roamed the ocean. His ships were different from the traditional dhow type build because they were much bigger, with heavier arms and less speed.
