HIST 1617 World History to 1500

This course provides a survey of world history from the beginnings of civilization about 3500 BCE to 1500 CE. The prehistoric and early literate societies of Egypt, Mesopotamia, China and India are investigated first. A review of the classical societies that developed in these areas and in Europe follows. The course concludes with an examination of the medieval period in Europe and a short investigation of the formation of civilizations in the Americas and Oceana. Cross cultural interactions are noted throughout the course and are especially important as the Europeans begin exploration and exploitation of the rest of the world around 1500 CE.
