GRAPHIC ORGANIZER: THE THREE WORLDS

AFRICA EUROPENORTH AND SOUTH

AMERICA

WHAT WERE THE THREE WORLDS LIKE?

africaWEST AFRICA MAINLY- SOURCE OF SLAVES AND GOLD

RELIGION IS EASTERN BASED OR ISLAMIC

1325 A.D. – MALI EMPIRE CONTROLS ALL TRADE. TIMBUKTU IS THE CAPITAL.

MATRIARCHAL IN SOME SOCIETIES- WOMEN RULED.

MIDDLE PASSAGE- SLAVE TRADE

BLACK GOLD- SLAVES WERE CALLED THIS BECAUSE A SLAVE WAS AS VALUABLE AS GOLD TO HIS OWNER.

12 MILLION PEOPLE ARE TAKEN FROM AFRICA AS PART OF THE INTERNATIONAL SLAVE TRADE.

Timbuktu

europe: the center of exploration TECHNICALLY ADVANCED- Had Weapons made of Metal, Sailing ships, printing press, compass

Men were in Charge- Patriarchal

In 1000 A.D. the catholic Church Controls Religion, Politics, and economics

Feudalism gives way to the idea of private property.

Land is dominated and to be conquered by man.

CRUSADES: Begin in 1095 and last nearly 300 years.

Crusades lead to discovery of new products such as silk, spices, mathematics, and foods.

Sparks the exploration of people such as vasco de gama, Prince Henry of Portugal, and columbus.

AMERICA: THE “NEW WORLD” North AmericaMountains and rivers are sacred land not owned directly by anyone.

One theory is that people arrived there over 20,000 years ago from siberia.

Over 500 different tribes and over 1000 languages.

No Written Records.

South AmericaLand is sacred but divided among different empires.

Matriarchal in some tribes, but mostly, men are in charge.

Great Indian civilizations: maya, aztec, Inca (or triple alliance)

No Written Records.

Biggest enemy was DISEASE- No Immunities.

IMPORTANT TO NOTEBy the time European exploration is done, these three worlds have

been completely changed. Africa is being exploited for slaves and gold, reducing their power in the world tremendously. The

populations of North and South America are being devastated by disease and war, and cultures are being lost. The European

continent has become the dominant power in the world.

A LITTLE PRE-TEST: WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE PERIOD OF

EXPLORATION? This unit will focus on the time when European explorers traveled around the world and new

cultures, languages and lifestyles were formed that still influence us today. There are many key ideas that will be covered during this unit, but there are two big ideas that you should definitely understand about the period of exploration.
