| Unit 4 is quite an explosive time period. Empires, Exploration, Enterprise, and Enrichment. |
Learning Targets:
★ To explore the creation of the first true global economy in the period 1450–1750
★ To examine Western European commercial expansion in a context that gives due weight to the contributions of other societies
★ To encourage appreciation of China as the world’s largest economy in the early modern period
★ To increase student awareness of the high costs of the commercial boom of the early modern period in ecological and human terms
★ To investigate the various models of trading post empires that were created in this period
Essential Questions:
1. In what specific ways did trade foster change in the world of the early modern era?
2. To what extent did Europeans transform earlier patterns of commerce, and in what ways did they
assimilate into those older patterns?
3. Describe and account for the differing outcomes of European expansion in the Americas (see Chapter 14), Africa, and Asia.
4. How should we distribute the moral responsibility for the Atlantic slave trade? Is this a task appropriate for historians?
5. What lasting legacies of early modern globalization are evident in the early twenty-first century? Pay particular attention to the legacies of the slave trade.
