Why study history? Each of us has our own personal history. Your origins and the events that have shaped your life are different from those of other people. The society we live in also has a history. This is our collective history. By studying the past and how society has evolved to become what it is today, we can better understand the world we live in.

Documents and sources When studying history, you will use many different types of documents and sources. • Written documents: newspapers, books, letters, etc. • Artifacts: monuments, objects, etc. • Visual documentation: drawings, paintings, photos, etc. • Maps, charts, and diagrams
To study history, we use both primary and secondary sources. • Primary source = A document created at the time of the historical event. • Secondary source = A document that analyzes a primary source.

Measuring time Time is an important concept in history. It allows us to situate events in relation to each other, to know their duration, and to compare them. In order to do this, we need a few tools.
Time references
Decade = 10 years
Events are situated in time with the help of references, such as dates. Periods of time are also described using specific terms, such as decade, century, or millennium.
Century = 100 years Millennium = 1,000 years
1 CENTURY = 100 YEARS
Centuries
Centuries are defined in relation to the birth of Jesus Christ, which marks the beginning of the “Common Era” (CE). The letters BCE mean: before the Common Era. The 1st century corresponds to the first hundred years following the birth of Jesus Christ, from year 1 to year 100. The 2nd century corresponds to the second hundred years, from year 101 to year 200. 2nd century BCE
-200
1st century BCE
-100
1st century

2nd century

Tip: To determine which century a particular date belongs to, add 1 to the number in the hundreds position. 1453 = 14 + 1 = 15
1453 = 15 th century
476 = 4 + 1 = 5
476 = 5 th century
77 = 0 + 1 = 1
77 = 1 st century
-128 = 1 + 1 = 2
-128 = 2 nd century BCe
600
600 = 6 th century

IF A DATE ENDS IN “00,” DO NOT ADD ANYTHING BECAUSE THE NUMBER OR NUMBERS PRECEDING THE ZEROS IS THE CENTURY WHERE THE DATE BELONGS.

The numbers from 0 to 9 that are used today are called Arabic numbers. In the context of history, Roman numerals are sometimes used to indicate centuries and millennia, and to identify monarchs and popes.
C = 100 D = 500 M = 1,000
How do you read Roman numerals?

Although there is general agreement on when major historical periods begin and end, some historians may challenge these choices. They may propose other key events, which could change the beginning and end of a historical period by a few years or decades. That is why the dates given for a particular historical period may vary from one publication to another.

In the 15th century, European kingdoms sent navigators on voyages of exploration, claimed dominion over the territories explored, and established a vast trade network that became the first form of world economy. The European conquest and colonization of these territories had devastating consequences for Indigenous peoples. The colonizers treated them with brutality and attempted to eradicate their culture and way of life.

WHERE WHEN? AND
Trade during the Renaissance During the Renaissance, Europeans obtained luxury products such as silk, spices, and precious metals from Asia and Africa. Many of these products circulated between the West and the East (the Orient) via the Silk Road, a network of trade routes already in use for many centuries. Because the Asian continent was far from Europe and difficult to access, TRADE between the two continents went through Arab merchants near the eastern Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea. A majority of the goods passed through the city of Constantinople.
TRADE Exchange of goods and services between individuals, societies, countries, etc.
3 The extraordinary stories of Marco Polo
AREAS RULED BY A KING OR QUEEN (A MONARCHY)
Exploring unknown territories
In the 15th century, four powerful European kingdoms set out to explore new trade routes in order to avoid existing ones. They ventured into unknown territories with the intention of occupying them and exploiting their resources. In doing so, they developed a trade network that was global in scope.

In the Middle Ages, Asia was not well known to Europeans. An Italian merchant named Marco Polo spent more than 20 years of his life there (1271-1295). On his return to Europe he reported, in his book The Travels of Marco Polo, that China and Japan were overflowing with precious metals. His stories inspired the major explorers of the 16th century.

Around the 2nd century BCE, China established a vast network of roads for trading silk with the West. More than 5,000 kilometres long, the trade routes went through India and Mesopotamia all the way to the Roman Empire. The network was used throughout the Middle Ages by merchants, who often transported their goods by camel.

EARLY MODERN period
Advances in navigation Due to advances in astronomy during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, navigators better understood movements of the stars and planets. This allowed them to better orient themselves at sea. In addition, Europeans were developing maritime TECHNOLOGIES. They built ships that were better adapted to long voyages, and they were constantly improving their navigational instruments. By exploring new routes around the world, navigators were also helping to advance scientific knowledge—particularly in geography and cartography. Knowledge about the circumference of the Earth was honed.

Major voyages of exploration In the search for new sea routes to Asia, European explorers set off in two different directions. • Some sailed south along the coast of Africa, and around its southern tip, even though those waters were known to be very dangerous. • Others sailed west, across the Atlantic Ocean. Although these waters were unknown to them, they knew the Earth was spherical, and thought that this route could lead them to Asia. It was during these voyages that European explorers came across a huge land mass that they didn’t know existed, later named the Americas. On these voyages, Europeans encountered many territories they had never heard of, which is why this period is called the AGE OF EXPLORATION.
Where did European explorers hope to end up after crossing the Atlantic?

Europeans’ first contact with Indigenous peoples
LEADERS IN THE SPANISH CONQUEST OF THE AMERICAS
Before they landed in what is now called the Americas, Europeans were unaware of the hundreds of distinct societies of Indigenous people who had lived there for millennia. Initially, relations between Europeans and Indigenous peoples were relatively peaceful, but they soon turned hostile as conquistadors, who were sent to exploit valuable resources, used violence to try to control and subjugate Indigenous populations.
Indigenous people: People who inhabited the land for millennia before European contact, and their descendants.
In European history, little is known about first contacts between Europeans and Indigenous peoples. European explorers described their “discovery” of the “New World,” but their writings do not include the perspectives or experiences of Indigenous peoples.
New World: European name for the continent of the Americas after the voyages of Christopher Columbus between 1492 and 1506.

HOW DID EUROPEAN KINGDOMS BECOME DOMINANT WORLD POWERS? Colonialism
MOTHER COUNTRY + COLONIES = COLONIAL EMPIRE
Beginning in the 16th century, European kingdoms were eager to establish colonies in the TERRITORIES they had claimed. European mother countries and their new colonies made up colonial EMPIRES that controlled territories in Africa, Asia, and the Americas. Convinced of their superiority over others, Europeans not only stole land, wealth, and resources, they also sought to dominate and eradicate Indigenous populations, and to colonize their lands. This policy and practice is called COLONIALISM. European mother countries established two main types of colonies: trading posts and settler colonies. Colony: A territory controlled by another country, and occupied by settlers from that country.
TERRITORY An area of land that humans occupy, use, or manage.
EMPIRE A group of territories and peoples ruled by a single governing power.
COLONIALISM
Mother country: Country that controls one or more colonies.
The control, occupation, and exploitation of a territory and its peoples by an external state.
15 Two types of colonies
Trading posts
Settler colonies
Trading posts were small settlements established for trade. They were occupied mainly by merchants and soldiers who acquired raw materials in the colony, then shipped them to the mother country. From the 16th century on, many trading posts were established along the coasts of Africa and Asia.
Settler colonies were established to populate a claimed territory. Men and women were sent from the mother country to settle permanently, exploit the territories’ resources, replace the Indigenous population, and establish sovereignty over the lands. In the 17th century, this was the most common type of colony in the Americas. A 17th-century Portuguese plantation in what is now Brazil

Merchants stationed in Africa exchanged captured people for manufactured goods from Europe. The captive people were treated as “merchandise” and forced onto ships bound for the Americas, where they were sold for enslavement on plantations and in mines.

Colonies were required to send raw materials to their European mother country, where they were transformed into finished goods. This made colonies dependent on the mother country to supply certain products, which seriously limited their economic development.

EARLY MODERN period
The Treaty of Tordesillas Colonial ambitions led to major rivalries between European mother countries. Beginning in the 15th century, territorial disputes broke out between Spain and Portugal, the first European kingdoms in the race to colonize. Because both kingdoms were Catholic, Pope Alexander VI intervened in an effort to limit conflict between them. He established an invisible line from north to south, through the Atlantic Ocean, to divide territorial claims to the “New World” between the two empires. In 1494, the Treaty of Tordesillas reaffirmed this division, but moved the boundary farther west. Spain could claim all “newly discovered” territories west of the line, and Portugal those east of the line.
TODAY Each kingdom imposed its own language in its colonies, by disregarding or even outlawing Indigenous languages. That is why Spanish is now the main language spoken in Central America and most of South America. In North America, which was colonized by the French and the English, French and English are official languages.

WHAT WERE THE CONSEQUENCES OF EUROPEAN EXPANSION FOR INDIGENOUS PEOPLE? Indigenous peoples before European contact In the 15th century, there were millions of Indigenous people living on the immense continent of the Americas. They formed hundreds of distinct peoples with their own languages and CULTURES. Most lived in small groups. Some were nomadic, and lived by hunting, fishing, and foraging. Others were sedentary societies that also practised agriculture. What we now call South America and Central America were also home to the Aztec, the Maya, and the Inca peoples, three major civilizations with populations in the millions who built extensive and organized cities, such as Tenochtitlan. Indigenous peoples in the Americas had a wide variety of ways of life.

Aztec civilization
The Aztec calendar The Aztec developed a system of writing and two calendars: a 365-day seasonal calendar and a calendar of sacred rituals, made up of 20 cycles of 13 days, illustrated in the “calendar stone” pictured.
Cultivation of corn
Aztec religion The Aztec people believed in many gods. They built temples and pyramids, and made human sacrifices during religious ceremonies. Those sacrificed to the gods included prisoners of war and volunteers.
The diet of Indigenous cultures in the Americas was different from that of Europeans. In the 15th century, Indigenous societies cultivated a variety of foods, including corn, tobacco, cocoa (chocolate), tomatoes, beans, potatoes, and peanuts—all plants that did not exist in Europe.
Maya civilization Maya religion Like the Aztec people, the Maya also made human sacrifices to the gods. The ceremonies were held in pyramid temples, a shape that was thought to bring them closer to the gods.
Mathematics and writing systems The Maya people used a system of mathematics based on the number 20. It required only three symbols to represent all numbers. Like the Aztec people, their writing system was composed of glyphs, meaning symbols or pictures that represented words or syllables.
THE SYSTEM WE USE IS BASED ON THE NUMBER 10.

Agriculture and livestock The Inca people cut large terraces into hillsides to practise farming, their primary economic activity. They also bred llamas and alpacas, mainly for their wool and hides to make clothing and leather goods.
Inca religion The Inca people worshipped the sun god, among others. They built temples and made offerings to deities, but human sacrifices were very rare.

TRADE
• The goal of trade was to make a profit.
• Trade was based on alliances, and was done only with allies.
• Chiefs were chosen based on their leadership qualities and heredity, and their authority was often limited.
• Currency was used in commercial exchanges.
SOCIAL STRUCTURE
• The social structure was hierarchical, based on obedience and submission to authority.
• Relationships were based on sharing and giving, generosity, and reciprocity.
• Land was communal and private property did not exist. Individuals could not accumulate disproportionate wealth because it was shared among the community.
• Monarchs and the nobility were at the top of the social hierarchy, and their privilege was based on heredity.
CONCEPT OF PROPERTY
• Land was owned by lords, and there was vast inequality in wealth. • Monarchs waged war to take possession of territories in the name of their kingdoms.
• Groups waged war for control of territories or resources, for revenge, or to capture prisoners.
• Spiritual beliefs were based on the interconnection of all species, the natural world, and different spirits or deities.
RELIGIOUS BELIEF
• Many societies did not use an alphabetic writing system, but transmitted information orally.
COMMUNICATION
THESE CULTURAL CHARACTERISTICS DID NOT APPLY TO ALL INDIGENOUS PEOPLES. THEY FORMED HUNDREDS OF DISTINCT SOCIETIES, EACH WITH ITS OWN SYSTEM OF COMMUNICATION, RELIGION, AND POLITICAL STRUCTURE.

PART 3
EARLY MODERN period
Colonization of the Americas and its consequences Europeans were convinced of their superiority over Indigenous peoples, and of their right to conquer and impose their culture on them. European colonialism had devasting consequences for Indigenous people.
A dramatic decrease in population Colonialism led to high mortality rates among Indigenous people. Disease, violence, and difficult living conditions forced upon them by European colonizers took a heavy toll on Indigenous lives. Epidemics, massacres, enslavement, and forced labour caused the deaths of millions of Indigenous people. Within the first century of European colonization, about 90% of the Indigenous population of South and Central America was killed. In what is now the St. Lawrence region of North America, the Iroquois and Algonquin peoples were also greatly affected. The high death rate greatly reduced or devastated some communities, which put surviving cultures in a very vulnerable situation. Deadly disease Europeans arriving in the Americas brought serious diseases for which Indigenous populations had no antibodies (natural protection). Measles, smallpox, influenza, tuberculosis, and the plague took many millions of lives. Epidemics were the main cause of mortality during the early stages of colonization.

Theft, massacres, and forced labour The Spanish conquistadors were brutally violent toward Indigenous people. They plundered riches and seized land throughout Central and South America. Already weakened by disease, Indigenous people were driven from their lands and enslaved or used as forced labourers. In just a few years, the Spanish conquered the great Aztec, Inca, and Maya civilizations.

Aztec Chief Moctezuma II was killed in 1520, and Cortés seized and destroyed the city of Tenochtitlan in 1521. The Spanish had the advantage of superior military equipment, such as firearms, metal swords, horses, and trained dogs, that Indigenous people lacked.

CHAPTER 2 European Expansion in the World
NAME
GROUP
Social, economic, and cultural upheaval European colonialism had devastating effects on Indigenous societies, threatening and transforming their economies, social structures, and cultures. Spanish, Portuguese, English, and French colonizers forced Indigenous people to give up their way of life, their traditions, and their language.
What resources did Indigenous people supply to Europeans?
Impacts on their way of life Before colonization, some Indigenous peoples were nomadic. They lived by hunting, fishing, and foraging, or farming (agriculture and livestock). Impacts of colonization: • Indigenous peoples were forced off their lands.
Impacts on their economic systems
• Nomadic peoples were forced to become sedentary.
Before colonization, Indigenous peoples had trade networks and alliances. Impacts of colonization:
• Indigenous peoples were deprived of their traditional means of subsistence.
• Established alliances and trade networks were weakened or broken. • Indigenous people became dependent on trade with Europeans, whom they supplied with tobacco, furs, wood, and various plants, such as cocoa.
Impacts on their culture Before colonization, Indigenous peoples spoke a variety of languages. Their beliefs and spirituality were based on their relationship with nature. Impacts of colonization:
Impacts on their political systems
• Indigenous peoples were forced to speak the languages of the colonial powers.
Before colonization, Indigenous peoples were autonomous, and determined their own political systems. Impacts of colonization:
• Traditional spiritual practices were hidden or overwhelmed by forced conversion to Christianity.
• Indigenous peoples were forced to submit to the authority of European colonizers.

TODAY What are the cultural and economic links between societies? Many of the cultural and economic links established between societies in the past can still be seen today. For example, some countries still use the language of the mother country that colonized them in the 16th and 17th centuries, and many of them have maintained significant trade relationships with their former mother country. Today, the global rules of trade between nations are created and overseen largely by the World Trade Organization (WTO), which was established in 1995.

SYNTHESIS
Chapter overview
Read the chapter overview carefully.
In the 15th century, European merchants purchased gold and other precious metals, silk, and spices from Asia. However, trade became more difficult when the Ottomans captured Constantinople in 1453. This drove European kingdoms to seek new routes to Asia, which was the main advantage at STAKE behind voyages of exploration. Some European explorers travelled west across the Atlantic Ocean in an attempt to reach Asia, beginning what Europeans call the AGE OF EXPLORATION. Christopher Columbus landed in the Americas in 1492, followed by other explorers. Vasco da Gama navigated south around the coast of Africa to reach India, and Ferdinand Magellan set off on the first circumnavigation of Earth. New maritime TECHNOLOGIES, such as the compass and astrolabe, made it possible to navigate the open ocean and embark on long sea voyages. Thus, Europeans began exploring TERRITORIES that were unknown to them. They claimed possession so as to exploit raw materials and convert the Indigenous people who lived there. Some Indigenous peoples had formed major civilizations, such as the Aztec and the Inca people, while others lived in smaller societies. In all cases, the Indigenous CULTURES were very different from those of the Europeans. Contact with Europeans had devastating consequences; many Indigenous people died from epidemics of European diseases. Conquistadors massacred Indigenous people or enslaved them to carry out forced labour. From the 16th to the 17th century, European COLONIALISM accelerated, as mother countries colonized territories in the Americas, Africa, and Asia. Colonial empires established a system of triangular TRADE that relied on SLAVERY, meaning the enslavement of men, women, and children from Africa. European empires used the labour of enslaved workers to extract resources from the Americas that were then sent to Europe to create manufactured goods. This early form of WORLD ECONOMY was designed to profit the European mother countries. It was a system that served to bolster the power and wealth of colonial EMPIRES, such as Spain and Portugal.
