The Question of Periodization
• How should we understand the millennium that stretches from the end of the classical era to the beginning of modern world history? 200 and 850CE – classical states &
civilizations disrupted, declined, or collapsed. Columbus’s transatlantic voyages around
1500 mark a new departure in world history.

Periodization
• Hard to define a distinct identity for this period• Postclassical?• Medieval or Middle Ages?
•We are now in – Third-wave civilizations• 1st Wave: Egypt, Mesopotamia, China, Indus
River• 2nd Wave: Rome, Greece, Persia, Han

Differing Trajectories
Radical change• Most expansive and
influential 3rd wave civilization was Islam• Defines the beginning of
this period• Political & economic
system a tool of religion• Usually the other way
around
Continuities• Older civilizations
persisted or reconstructed • New civilizations were
similar to earlier civilizations• Byzantine Empire• China• India• Niger River Valley
Differing Trajectories
Continuities• Western Europe
• Decentralized societies emerged• Vandals, Visigoths, Franks,
Huns, Saxons, Angles, Goths…• Hybrid civilization of classical
& Germanic elements emerges
• Development of highly competitive states after 1000
Changes• Collapse of classical Maya
civilization & Teotihuacán• reshaped ancient
civilization• Aztecs emerge
• Inca form an empire out of various centers of Andean civilization
Trans-regional Interaction
• The theme is – the massive increase in interaction between the world’s regions, cultures, and peoples.• Increasingly, change caused by contact with
strangers and/or their ideas, armies, goods, or diseases
• Cosmopolitan regions emerged in a variety of places—“mini-globalizations”
Key Thematic Elements
Trade• Growth of long-distance
commerce• Led to the establishment
of many new states or empires• Religious ideas,
technologies, and germs moved along trade routes
Empire• Large empires, incorporating
many distinct cultures under a single political system• provided security for trade• 3rd wave civilizations were
larger (Arab, Mongol, & Inca)• largest empires created by
nomadic or pastoral peoples (Arabs, Turks, Mongols, Aztecs)
Trade and Empire Together
• Spread of ideas, technologies, crops, and germs•Wide diffusion of religions•Wide diffusion of technologies, many from China and India• Devastating epidemic disease (e.g., Black Death) linked distant communities
Trade and Empire Together
• Focus on accelerating connections puts a spotlight on travelers rather than on those who stayed at home.• A focus on interaction raises questions:• How much choice did individuals or societies
have in accepting new ideas or practices?• How much choice did they have about how
they made those decisions?
