India History: The Big Picture Study Guide

India Hinduism begins in India. Hinduism is the largest polytheistic religion. Characteristics of Hinduism: caste system, karma, reincarnation. Another major world religion, Buddhism, is founded in India. It is spread to China and Southeast Asia by the missionary Asoka.

India 1500’s: British Empire controls India: Introduces religion of Islam to India. Spreads it to the Kashmir region, which is found in the Himalayan mountains. Its chief product of trade was textiles. The Mughals were also well known for architectural achievements, such as the Taj Mahal. Three European countries set up trading posts in India at this time: Portugal, Netherlands, and England.

India British imperialism begins in India – includes areas of India, Pakistan, and island of Ceylon. Indians who want independence form Indian National Congress. 1920’s-1940: Gandhi uses civil disobedience and passive resistance to try to convince the British to give India its independence.

India 1947: India given independence from Great Britain. India split in half – independent countries of India – Hindu and Pakistan – Muslim (East and West). East Pakistan is an independent country today called Bangladesh. An island off the coast of India, Sri Lanka, is also given independence. It used to be known as Ceylon when it was a British colony.

India India and Pakistan argue over who should control Kashmir – Kashmir is part of India, but is two-thirds Muslim. 1971: War between India and Pakistan. East Pakistan is supported by India and it becomes the independent country of Bangladesh. 1974: India tests nuclear bomb 1990: Pakistan tests nuclear bomb Present: Pakistan and India still fighting over Kashmir.

Latin America: 500-present The Mayans were an advanced Native American tribe located on the Yucatan Peninsula. The Incas were an advanced Native American tribe located in the Andes Mountains in South America in present day Peru and Chile. The Aztec were an advanced Native American tribe located in Central Mexico.
