when you feel like you know it check it off move on to the next AP World History opens with a global review of the different peoples and cultures from six different AP regions from 1200 to 1450. so let's check into each region to start the course in East Asia the Song Dynasty Reigns Supreme they rule using neo confucianism and the civil service exam while Buddhism Remains the main belief system they got plenty of food from Choppa rice and all of this stuff spread to Korea and Japan nice work song Doral Islam is the world of Islam the caliphate system is dunzo after the abbasids fell to the Mongols now it's turkey time they establish sultanates or Islamic kingdoms focus on Darla Islam for their contributions to math science medicine in nearly every intellectual category Insider tip East Asia and darl Islam are the Heavy Hitters here focus on them for unit one for South and Southeast Asia focus on how Buddhism and Hinduism affected the region special Focus here Sufism Sufism is a mystical branch of Islam and attracts tons of converts throughout Islam for the Americas focus on these two empires the Incas and the Aztecs the Inca centralized their power through their Road system and the media labor system while the Aztec centralized their power through their Human Sacrifice system they also had those sweet Lake farms called genopas the last two parts of unit 1 cover Africa and Europe for these two focus on State Building so for Africa that means Mali and the trans-saharan trade in Great Zimbabwe and the Swahili coast in Europe it's all about feudalism surfs working on manners in a decentralized system of government how we doing that's unit one that's that's the table everything else builds from here how's your checklist how's your checklist going this review goes quick don't get caught slipping unit 2 is in the same time period as unit one so remember everything we just went over well unit two is all about how those places were connected there are three trade routes to know first the Silk Road this is how East Meets West along the way powerful trading cities like kashgar and smart Khan emerged in Central Asia Focus here on the luxury goods like Silk and Porcelain but all also have banking houses and flying cash economically change the game second the Indian Ocean trade think of it as the Silk Road Maritime Edition so same trade City same luxury goods same technology being exchanged a couple specific terms to know first diaspora there are a ton of people living away from their Homeland they are living in diaspora I think of a community of Chinese people but they're living in Malacca for trade second term Admiral jing-hee the famous Admiral made his voyages along this trade route third Monsoon wins their seasonal and knowledge of them is required lastly the trans-saharan trade this reconnects darl Islam to sub-Saharan Africa it brought trade like salt and gold but also Islam and travelers like Evan battuta this was how matamusa made the most Ballers Hajj of all time hey what about all the consequences of this trade environmentally these are things like the bubonic play chompa rice and citrus roots that moved along the trade routes culturally these are religions like Buddhism Hinduism and Islam as well as travel Wars like Marco Polo and Evan battuta even gunpowder algebra and the compass count here oh yeah the Mongols don't overdo the Mongols but you really don't need to know know that much about them know that their Empires turn into khanates and that they were the means by which a lot of ideas Technologies diseases hell everything in unit 2 was expedited with the help of your friendly neighborhood Mongols okay they weren't that friendly your tolerant neighborhood Mongols is probably more accurate end of period one the next two units focus on 1450 to 1750. we've set the stage with units one and two how's that checklist looking look ahead to unit three to see where we're going next and where you need to focus your review unit 3 covers the land-based empires also known as the gunpowder Empires no these four first the manchus they invade China from the north and establish the final Chinese Empire the but they don't change the China we introduced in unit one that much neo confucianism check civil service exam check Dynasty check they do make everyone get that sweet Q haircut as a sign of loyalty to the manchus and they centralize their power on the banner system but otherwise pretty similar second the Ottomans they take contents and opal in 1453 and rename it Istanbul their Sunni Muslim and Clash constantly with the Shia safavids next door in Persia couple key terms here first Deb sure may this was how they built their army bureaucracy intellectuals and everything most notably the janissaries second tax farming basically selling the right to tax to the highest bidder third the Moguls they are an Islamic group ruling over a Hindu majority in India and like the Ottomans they are religiously tolerant and the poster boy Toleration was Akbar the Great oh and they built the Taj Mahal nice Monumental architecture is big in unit three and the Tosh is probably the most famous Fourth Empire to know the safavids know them as the Shia Empire they're wedged between their Sunni rival Ottomans to the west and the mughals to the east now there are other land-based Empires but they are only mentioned briefly the Aztecs and Incas we mentioned back in unit one also the song High took over from Mali as the Islamic Powerhouse in West Africa and Tokugawa Japan established a military shogunate ruled by a Shogun who eventually gets so fed up with the maritime Empires that he declares sukoku or locked country and shuts down until we see them again in unit 6. there is a whole section in unit 3 here for belief systems the European Christian split again this time it was the Prime Protestant Reformation this is the whole Martin Luther Church door Hammer Time action thing around the year 1500. plus oh there is a brand new religion Sikhism this was based on the teachings of Guru nanak in the Mughal Empire and took teachings from both Hinduism and Islam let's stay in this period 1450-1750 but move to unit 4. check your checklist and put on your boat shoes it's Maritime first up know some of the technology that allows these European Empires to cross these oceans and set up these Empires Portuguese and Spanish caravals Dutch fruits Islamic astrolabes and Chinese compasses Latin sales knowledge of the Winds without these advancements those Europeans would still be sitting in Europe right now let's break it down by Empire like we did in unit three Remember by the way these are also gunpowder Empires just with more boats first the Portuguese no literally they are the first Prince Henry sought a route around Africa and also a means of spreading Christianity thought he was on another Crusade he built a school to teach The Navigators how to navigate from there the Portuguese made it to Brazil and eventually in 1498 to India in the process they took a troll sold the Spice Islands and started the transatlantic slave trade transforming trade all over the place second Maritime Empire the Spanish focused on the Spanish of are in the Americas they set up Vice royalties literally areas ruled by a vice king or vice Roy they defeated the Aztecs and the Inc as we mentioned in unit one they also set up a kind of new world feudalism system called the encomienda system and started extracting cash crops like sugar and coffee as well as mining Silver in places like Potosi oh last bit on Spain Catholicism they spread their belief system in the new world with the help of priests like barcelon De Las Casas and the arrival of Our Lady of Guadalupe in 1531. key term to know here Trading Post Empire besides the Americas these Empires weren't taking over huge chunks of land yet instead they established small trading posts to move Goods in and out of these places now the key term here joint stock companies these were government-sponsored monopolies but anyone could invest so it spread the wealth but more importantly it spread the risk the big two in this period are the British East India Trading Company they came to dominate South Asia or India while the Dutch VOC C took over modern day Indonesia the VOC is still the most successful company ever mainly by controlling the spice trade and using that to dominate the Indian Ocean trade next the Colombian Exchange may be the most important thing ever all of these plants and animals and diseases crossing the ocean for the first time that's the Columbian Exchange they almost always ask a question about the Columban exchange on the exam indigenous peoples put up a fight there were revolts of the enslaved like Queen Nani and Jamaica or against European arrivals in Africa like Anna nazinga and Angola some resistance came from local groups like Hindu marathas who countered the spread of the mughals in India or the Cossacks in Russia who challenged the expansion of the Russian Empire challenged the arrival of the west by shutting down the whole shogunate to foreigners finally the last thing to know for unit 4 is how all of this affected social systems the Costa system attempted to build a hierarchy where Africans Americans and Europeans were living together in the new world but also systems like the banner system in China or the millets in the Ottoman Empire not to mention how the slave trade caused social changes in Africa and the Americas do not skip over the impact of coerced labor like Channel slavery and coming into system in unit 4. that's it for unit 4. let's move on to the next period 1750 to present this one is where everything changes open you got more stuff checked off then not checked off if not that's fine that's why we're revealing unit 5 is all about revolutions specifically the political revolutions and the Industrial Revolution the political revolutions all have their roots in the enlightenment philosophers started to look at your natural rights using reason and when people took action to guarantee those natural rights that's where these revolutions come from Americans hated taxation without representation French people hated their absolute monarch Louis XVI Haitians led a slave revolt against the French and in Latin America Bolivar LED multiple revolutions against the Spain one word to focus on here nationalism this is the idea that a nation a group of people with shared beliefs should run the state or the government and if they don't look out they're going to fight for that right the other Revolution the Industrial Revolution my one seed for most important thing of all time it all starts in Great Britain due to the right mix of access to resources capital and urban areas but after about 50 years it spreads to the United States and Europe the basic concept is the factory system workers come to a factory where they Mass produce things for sale James Watt improved this with his steam engine that made a movable power source that could power anything machines boats trains you name it do not get bogged down in all the technological innovations here if you know steam engine and the internal combustion engines which both burn fossil fuels for power and also railroads and the telegraph you should be fine this all leads to a decline in production in Asia as European factories were a growing competitor on the global market some governments decided they needed to implement this on their own the most successful the Meiji restoration some governments decided they needed to implement this on their own the most successful the Meiji restoration and it put Japan on the road to a global Powerhouse others like the cell strengthening movement in Qing China couldn't keep up with the West or Japan some places like Egypt led by Muhammad Ali capitalized on global demands for cotton they nationalized their cotton industry and restructured their economy to benefit Egypt on a macro level the Industrial Revolution grew alongside the works of Adam Smith and the ideas of capitalism the restrictions of mercantilism were gone and laissez-faire policies were all lower age think of it as democracy for economics this gave rise to new transnational businesses like Unilever or HSBC socially this shakes up everything women push for equality a new working class emerges and their plight as championed by Karl Marx who envisioned a world where the worker rose up and sees the means of production unit 5 is so important that unit 6 is literally just the effects of industrialization and that may have you thinking about factories and businesses but you should really focus on imperialism basically these new industrial powerhouses are about to turn those old trading posts into massive Empires unit 6 begins with the excuses the west and Japan will give for massively expanding their Empires they're based on racist policies or religious civilizing missions ideas like social Darwinism these are the excuses the real seasons are almost completely economic access to raw materials and markets to sell stuff the big Empires I focus on here are the Americans the British the Japanese the Russians and the French be familiar with where these Empires are and how they were expanding one key term for this unit settler colonies look at bread tiny look at Australia it's a freaking continent Britain sends a small amount of people to settle there if they can forcibly remove the natives they will if not they will try to replace the indigenous culture with a British one imperialism is happening worldwide so let's focus on these big three topics first the Berlin Conference in Africa determined the future of Africa for centuries next the sepoy mutiny in India and the switch from the private East India Company to the government rule of the British Raj finally the center of humiliation in China Opium Wars taiping rebellions sino-japanese Wars boxer rebellions unit 6 is not China's favorite and it's not all Empire empire some places like the United States and Latin America with the banana republics or the British and French and China during the Opium Wars would economically dominate an area using their industrial economic advantages without physically taking over export economies began to focus on Cotton rubber palm oil and poop well I mean iguana these are the raw materials these Empires are craving in unit 6. like unit 4 not everyone welcomed these new empires focus on these three the sepoy mutiny in India Tupac amaru and Peru and the Cosa cattle killing movement in South Africa all three attempted to fight against these powerful Empires and they all failed the industrial West and Japan are all nearly undefeated in unit 6. finally migrations this is a huge consequence of industrialization cities are growing tons of jobs to be had plus new technology makes Global Travel feasible for more people therefore people leave their homes and move to cities like London New York or Buenos Aires and Argentina some people were pushed to migrate like the Irish during the Potato Famine or the Chinese during the century of humiliation others were pulled by job opportunities to major cities or building railroads you've heard of diaspora but get ready for enclaves migrants begin setting up full-scale enclaves like Little Italy in New York City or Chinatown and like every major city on the planet where these migrants liked when they arrived no and they were often met with restrictions like the Chinese Exclusion Act in the United States or the white Australia policy okay that's unit six we've reached the year 1900 the last period 1900 to present keep checking that sheet afterwards you're gonna have an amazing study guide warning do not overdo unit 7. unit 7 starts with a farewell to some old friends the Qing the Russians and the Ottomans all three of these are given equal attention in 7.1 basically China became a republic briefly the Russians are overthrown by the Bolsheviks and the ottomans are broken up after World War One World War one was caused by a bunch of factors but focus in on how imperialism increased tensions New Alliance systems assured a larger scale conflict and nationalism and most notably Serbian nationalism against the austrians which led to the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand for the war itself you need to know exactly three things first it's a total war everything in your country is utilized for victory second the governments in the war use media restrictions and propaganda like this or this or this to mobilize populations into supporting the war and third new military tactics led to increasing casualty rates for World War one that means machine guns gas tanks and Zeppelins and that's all you need to know for the fighting of world war one that's it in between the global conflicts there are basically three things first the Great Depression LED governments like the United States and the Soviet Union to get directly involved to fix their broken economies second those Empires from unit six keep growing and the people there are more and more ready for them to pack up their stuff and go therefore increasing tensions worldwide and third dictatorships are popping up all over Italy Spain Germany all of that leads to World War II with the main catalyst being the aggression of those totalitarian States most notably Nazi Germany and the Empire of Japan everything you needed to know about conducting World War one is the same for conducting World War II it's a total war governments use propaganda and new military technology the only difference here is that the new Vortec is firebombing and the other one is this yeah atomic bombs change the game and ended World War II in 1945. last thing in unit 7 are the mass atrocities the College Board only mentions the Holocaust by name and it is by by far the largest of these atrocities but it might be helpful for you on the exam to know a few others my suggestions are the Armenian Genocide from World War One and the Cambodian communist genocide in the 1970. unit 8 is really two units so let's split it up here Cold War first the Cold War split the world after World War II with two dueling ideologies the Americans with their capitalism and democracy and the Soviets with their dictatorship and communism three alliances formed the American side formed NATO the Soviet side formed the Warsaw Pact and a third non-aligned group called The non-aligned Movement led by places like India Egypt and Ghana most conflicts in the Cold War were proxy wars U.S would fight a Soviet proxy like Vietnam or the Soviets would fight an American proxy like Afghanistan USA versus USSR never happened spoiler China turns Communists after World War II and from there Mao Zedong their leader pushed for reforms to create a communist state his policies like the Great Leap Forward mirrored Stalin's five-year plans with similar devastating effects Cold War ended in 1991 after the Soviet Union fell following the Soviet Afghan war communist economic failures and American technological and Military dominance the second part of Unit 8 is about decolonization Anti-Imperialist rage back from unit 6 spills over into Unit 8 where most of those Empires will go away the United Nations after World War II guaranteed States the right to self-determination and there are two ways to do this first non-violence like kwami nokrumah in Ghana or Gandhi in India second way to do it is through violence like Algeria or Vietnam either way colonies break free and the new borders could often lead to more conflict like India or Israel some of these newly independent states had significant economic growth like Tanzania Egypt or India and finally the last unit Unit Nine this one is all about how the first eight units built into this globalized interconnected World technology like planes radio cell phones even container ships help create a more connected Planet petroleum nuclear and later solar and wind continue to power the planet birth control allowed women to control their Reproductive Rights for the first time the Green Revolution massively increased the production of crops world worldwide defeat an ever-growing global population antibiotics and vaccines meant that humans could stop or prevent diseases from decimating populations however diseases still persisted Alzheimer's disease or HIV AIDS brought new challenges to people worldwide while pandemics like the 1918 Spanish Flu had some of the highest mortality rates in human history humans effect on the environment continued to grow as the release of greenhouse gases led to the increasing threat of climate change Unit 8 focused on communism but unit 9 focused on how economies push for more free market policies like dang did in China or in Chile regional trade networks formed help facilitate this global economy like NAFTA in North America or AZN in Southeast Asia culture globalized too with Bollywood and the World Cup appealing to Global audience finally institutions like the UN form to maintain International Peace following World War II and that is the entire AP World History course in one video check your speed review sheet
