Description:

World Civilization 600-1660. Three semester hours. Two profoundly significant developments in world history occurred during the period from the seventh through the seventeenth century: first, Western Europe changed from an insignificant hinterland to an area poised for global colonization and Imperialization; second, the geographic regions of the globe entered into a period of significant and continuous contact with one another which has persisted to the present. This course explores these developments. Topics include the political and social rebuilding after the collapse of the classical empires, the roles played by the great world religions in medieval cultures, the development of technologies of communication and transportation, the interactions among medieval and nomadic cultures, and the exploration and early colonization efforts by China and Europe. In addition, this courses addresses the historiography of the medieval world, that is how historians research and study medieval societies.%
