1 WORLD HISTORY WORD WALL: “the big 100”
Anthony Salciccioli | Clarenceville High School | Grade 10

2 Unit I terms- “Foundations of World History: Eras 1-3, Beginnings to 300 

3 HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE
How you perceive history- it’s value, it’s importance, it’s usage The different sides of a story. Even though the event happened, people will see it differently Insert a map of your country.

4 HISTORICAL SCALE Amount of detail you bring to a historical event
Changing your levels of history from personal, local, national, world Placing yourself in different timeframes. Projecting your self in the past and future Insert a picture of one of the geographic features of your country.

5 Primary sources The most original, unbiased piece of information.
Allows us to think for ourselves, free from bias Insert a picture illustrating a season in your country.

6 How to assess claims Most important thing I can teach you as a social studies teacher. 1. Intuition: (Hunch) 2. Authority: (Should I listen to this person? Are they experts on the subject? Logic: Does this make logical sense? Evidence: This is what always should be sought out.

7 Six steps to archeology
Archeology allows us to understand our human story by providing evidence on our distant past. More of a hard science, than social science 1. Locate a site 2. Map 3. Excavate 4. Screen 5. Document 6. Laboratory Analysis Insert a picture of an animal and or plant found in your country.

8 race Biologically, there is no race. We are all Homo Sapiens
There is significant difference in race sociologically. Insert a picture illustrating a custom or tradition here.

9 Kingdom A country, state, or territory ruled by a king or queen.
These are ruled along hereditary lines and are not democratic nor merit- based. Insert a picture of the head leader of your country.

10 Civilization A group of people that possess 7 criterion
A group needs to have all 7 to be considered civilized. Other peoples existed that did not meet these 7. 1. Cities- The engine of civilization 2. Advanced tools 3. Social Classes 4. Specialized Jobs 5. Writing 6. Organized Religion 7. Government and Laws

11 Empire An extensive group of states or countries under a single supreme authority, formerly especially an emperor or empress. “Conquer and Expand”

12 Historical bias A particular tendency, trend, inclination, feeling, or opinion, especially one that is preconceived or unreasoned. Whether favorable, or unfavorable, it is a belief that not objective.

13 City-state A city that with its surrounding territory forms an independent state. Greece had over 1,000, so they were able to experiment with various ways of governance. Insert a picture that illustrates some part of your country’s economy.

14 Hegemony Leadership or dominance, especially by one country or social group over others. Insert a picture of one of the points of interest for your country.

15 Cultural diffusion THE MORE PEOPLE YOU MIX WITH, THE MORE YOU LEARN.
Cultural diffusion is the spread of cultural beliefs and social activities from one group to another. The mixing of world cultures through different ethnicities, religions and nationalities. It has increased with advanced communication, transportation and technology. THE MORE PEOPLE YOU MIX WITH, THE MORE YOU LEARN.

16 Diaspora The dispersion of any people from their original homeland.
This has happened to groups that have faced push migrations.

17 Push vs. pull migrations
Reasons why people leave where they are. Push factors are negative. Pull are positive.

18 Historiography The study of historical writing.
We evaluate whether the information comes from a good or bad source. Some sources are highly biased, so it validates the usage of primary sources.

19 Syncretism The combining or attempted combining of different religions, cultures, or schools of thought. This is most evident in the Chinese belief systems.

20 Cognitive dissonance Feeling experienced when evidence presented violates what we were taught. Part of process in finding evidence related to historical event.

21 Ethnocentrism Evaluation of other cultures according to preconceptions originating in the standards and customs of one's own culture. Belief that, “one’s people” are superior to another.

22 Hunting and gathering Ways Homo Sapiens lived for millennia
Small groups that worked collectively Was very effective Began to go away 10,000 years ago when man shifted to Agrarian ways Very few people on earth live this way now.

23 Agrarian societies Began when mankind filled up the world.
It took man roughly 170,000 years to fill world from East Africa to Southern South America Sedentary populations led to major changes.

24 Cities Engines of Civilization
Emerged when Agrarian societies stayed sedentary for long periods of time Where cities emerge give perspective to world hegemony throughout history.

25 River valley civilizations
These were the first four civilizations in history They emerged in good climates, along rivers The first four were Sumer (Tigris and Euphrates), Egypt (Nile), Indus Valley (Indus), China (Yellow) All possessed the 7 criterions for civilization.

26 World religions Answer Fundamental Questions all people ask
Adapt to cultures where they spread Are adopted by the political leadership Are portable and have a message that transcends geography Western ones are: 1. Judaism 2. Christianity 3. Islam Eastern ones are: 4. Hinduism 5. Buddhism

27 4 functions of religions
1. Cosmological- Answers the questions where man fits into cosmos 2. Mystical- Provides profound, transcendent experiences 3. Pedagogical- What is taught from generation to generation 4. Sociological- Provides a group to identify with and support networks.

28 Turning point This is a historian’s reasoning device that eludes to key moments in history. In other words, these hinge moments point history into an entirely different direction and serves as causation for future outcomes.

29 Unit ii terms: Era 4- Expanding and Intensified Hemispheric Interactions, 300 to 1500 C.E.

30 Population growth Caused by: 1. Invention of Iron
2. Farming and Pastoral Nomadism 3. Improved Crops 4. Usage of horses and camels 5. People living in denser populations boost immune systems.

31 Expanding networks of exchange
Routes Around 300 BCE to 300 CE, merchants, shippers, sea captains, and empire-builders extended and strengthened trade routes across Afroeurasia and the Americas. Empires Empires required networks of military and political communication. These networks encouraged interaction of many kinds over long distances. Writing With the appearance of alphabetic writing systems in Afroeurasia, people could communicate faster and easier than ever before. Religions The appearance of world religions— Hinduism, Judaism, Buddhism, and Christianity—stimulated cultural interchange across political and cultural boundaries.

32 Pastoral nomadism Are producers of food, and the size of their tribal or ethnic units increases accordingly. These groups raise livestock, and they move about within their established territory to find good pastures for their animals.

33 Collective learning Human beings build our body of knowledge over time. Those from the past have contributed inventions, innovations, and ideas that are still very much with us today. This is one of the main reasons history is studied.

34 Silk road The Silk Road was a network of trade routes, formally established during the Han Dynasty of China, which linked the regions of the ancient world in commerce. This was the catalyst for the world to increase it’s interactions.

35 Trans-Saharan trade route
This was the route that connected Africa. Many commodities passed along these, the most important being salt and gold. This was to Africa what the Silk Road was to Afroeurasia This interconnectedness boosted immune systems along with economies.

36 Western civilization This is the lineage that began in Greece.
This Greek heritage was passed to the Romans…. Which was passed to the Byzantines….. Which was passed to Europe…. Which was passed to the United States. We ultimately have Greek roots.

37 EASTERN CIVILIZATIONS
This is the portion of the world that follows Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, Confucianism and Shinto. They have high population centers and cultural similarities compared to the western world.

42 World zones 1. Afro-Eurasia: Africa and the Eurasian landmass, including offshore islands like Britain and Japan 2. The Americas: North, Central, and South America, plus offshore islands like the Caribbean Islands 3. Australasia: Australia and the island of Papua New Guinea, plus neighboring islands in the Pacific Ocean 4. The Pacific: Island societies such as New Zealand, Micronesia, Melanesia, Hawaii (Antarctica is not considered a world zone because until very recently no people lived there.)

43 Unit iii terms: Era 5- The Emergence of the First Global Age, 15th-18th Centuries

Began with Portugal in the 15th Century and resulted in European nations navigating the earth to seek economic gains. This initiated significant global changes.

48 European Miracle “The European Miracle”, a term coined by Eric Jones refers to the sudden rise of Europe during the late Middle Ages. REFORMATION + RENAISSANCE + SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTION + ENGLIGHTENMENT + AGE OF DISCOVERY= EUROPEAN MIRACLE. Europe went from poor, ignorant, and backwater to having world hegemony in a short time.

49 Nation-state A sovereign state whose citizens or subjects are relatively homogeneous in factors such as language or common descent. In other words, the modern idea of being a citizen of a country….not a kingdom, dynasty, empire, fiefdom, etc. that we’ve seen in the ancient world.

58 Great Dying This occurred when Europeans arrived in the Americas. Up to 95% of indigenous people died due to European’s guns, germs (smallpox), and greed.

59 Global Interdependence
Mutual dependence at a global level. In other words, one country depends on another country for something and that country may depend on another country, which eventually creates global interdependence.

60 Mercantilism Economic policy aimed at strengthening a national economy by exporting more goods than importing. Often colonial powers forced their colonies to provide raw materials for these economies and then buy the finished products.

61 “gunpowder” Empires These are the Empires that embraced the usage of firearms and subsequently gained power through the military might their weapons afforded them. These six are the European Empires, Safavid, Mughal, Russian, Ming China, and the Ottomans.

81 Unit 5: Era 7 - Global Crisis and Achievement, 1900-1945

82 Balance of power post war
In 1900 Europe had hegemony over the world. By 1945, the balance of power shifted. After two World Wars and a Great Depression, the power shifted. Former colonies became independent and the USA and USSR became the world’s superpowers.

83 Communism This is a system of government where all resources are collectivized It emerged in the Soviet Union after the Bolshevik Revolution ousted Czar Nicholas II. Ultimately fails due to the lack of incentive.

88 Militarism The belief or desire of a government or people that a country should maintain a strong military capability and be prepared to use it aggressively to defend or promote national interests.

89 Industrialized weapons
These were weapons that were made using the industrial process Their creation and implementation resulted in the bloodiest century in human history More people were killed in the 20th century than all previous centuries combined.

90 Modernity From , many inventions were created that ushered in the, “Era of Modernity” These included the radio, airplane, automobile, assembly line, telephone, movies, and most importantly, electricity

91 Totalitarianism A political system where the state recognizes no limits to its authority and strives to regulate every aspect of public and private life wherever feasible.

92 Atomic age The period of history following the detonation of the first nuclear, or "atomic“ bomb, Trinity, on July 16, 1945, during World War II. This changed the world irreparably as humans created the capabilities for world-wide suicide

93 Unit 6: Era 8- The Cold War and its Aftermath: The 20th Century Since 1945

94 Arms race and space race
A competition between the Superpowers for superiority in the development and accumulation of weapons and advancements in space. This fueled actions between the USA and USSR during the Cold War.

95 Civil disobedience The refusal to comply with certain laws or to pay taxes and fines, as a peaceful form of political protest. This method was used during this time period to combat colonial powers, unjust governments, and in the struggle for full citizenship

96 Domino theory The domino theory was a theory prominent from the 1950s to the 1980s, that speculated that if one country in a region came under the influence of communism, then the surrounding countries would follow in a domino effect. Largely responsible for the Korean and Vietnam Conflicts, as well as several smaller incidents in the 1980’s.

106 Fossil fuels Fossil fuel is a general term for buried combustible geologic deposits of organic materials, formed from decayed plants and animals that have been converted to crude oil, coal, natural gas, or heavy oils by exposure to heat and pressure in the earth's crust over hundreds of millions of years. The burning of these has caused environmental damage.

107 GLOBAL WARMING A gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth's atmosphere generally attributed to the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons, and other pollutants.

108 21st century Migrations More than 70 million people have been forced to leave their homes because of conflict, political upheaval and disasters, as well as by climate change and development projects, and are now living as migrants. This shift has, and will continue to, greatly effect world geopolitics

109 Natural resources Natural resources are materials provided by the Earth that humans can use to make more complex (human-made) products. World economies are based upon these and mankind faces challenges as they continue to be depleted.

110 Terrorism This is when regimes use violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims. 9/11/01 is considered a turning point in terrorism and the world has been riddled with many attacks since then. This has ushered in an era where often the need for security has lessened individual liberties.

111 Overpopulation Overpopulation is a function of the number of individuals compared to the relevant resources, such as the water and essential nutrients they need to survive. It can result from an increase in births, a decline in mortality rates, an increase in immigration, or an unsustainable biome and depletion of resources. The world now has 7 Billion people living on it.

112 The information age The Information Age (also known as the Computer Age, Digital Age, or New Media Age) is a period in human history characterized by the shift from traditional industry that the Industrial Revolution brought through industrialization, to an economy based on information computerization.

113 Final word…. Thank you for spending this year with me and I hope this class was a beneficial experience for you. I wish you all the best in your future years and hope to keep in touch with many of you. Now a final perspective to leave you with….. watch?v=XH7ZRF6zNoc
