Topic: Japanese feudalism vs European feudalism
pt.1
Even without contact, Japan and Europe had a
relatively similar feudalism system. Japan and
Europe had a class system and held their warriors in
high regards. Japan had Samurai, Europe had
Knights. These warriors had a similar code of
conduct to live by. Both Japan and Europe had a
castle for protection.
Piece of Mind
Topic: Japanese feudalism vs European feudalism
pt.2
Japan and Europe displayed many significant
differences in their feudalism, having no contact after
all. Both did not share the same base for feudalism.
Japan’s feudalism followed Confucian philosophy
closely. Europe’s feudalism followed Roman imperial
law and received support from the Catholic church.
The Knights of Europe were rewarded with land by
their lords, while the Samurai of Japan had a salary
that mostly consisted of payments in rice. A major
distinction was gender treatment. Samurai women
were treated the same as samurai men, expected to
fight and die bravely. Woman in Europe were held
delicately, like flowers. Samurai rode into battle with
light-weight efficient armor, while Knights had
inconvenient armor, with the only perk being
protection.
Piece of Mind
Topic: Sunni-Shi’a split pt.1
The Sunni and Shi’a split was beneficial for the two
groups. To prevent further disagreements, it would
be best if a religion can separate into two groups and
maintain peace.
Topic: Sunni-Shi’a split pt. 2
A religion can not be strong with the believers
fighting within. The Sunni-Shi’a split was a bad event
for the Islamic religion. A religion is a group of
believers who should compromise and agree.
Weather Report Central
With technology improving now the
Africa, China, and Europe were able to
improve and become more industrialize
by using different techniques to crop and
produce commercial agriculture to
support the economy. They have used
plows and the 3field system to create
food. In this era everyone used there
surrounding and adapted to their
environment in order to survive they
have changed it by putting villages and
trade, waterways, and used other
resources to help create a living on the
land.
Dangerous Lethal
Weaponry
Although not very efficient in the
post classical era China, Byzantine,
Mongols, and The Islamic
Caliphates used battle axes, spears,
knives, and gunpowder. As the
technology improved so did the
weapons. They have improved
from the basic form weapons to the
most advanced and complex types
like bowing arrows as long as 5ft,
armery shields, battle rifles,
catapults, and battering rams as
well as others
The Black Death Plagues Europe
Nicknamed “The Black Death”, the Bubonic Plague
spread throughout Eurasia, being developed in 1347 by
the Mongols, naming it “Germ Warfare.” It spread to
Europe on trade ships in which rats, the main carrier of
the disease, inhabited. Infected fleas would bite the rat
that would later infect someone. Traded goods, such as
textiles were also infected and made their way to
Europe. Overcrowding and bad hygiene were also key
factors in allowance on infestation.
Losing ⅓ of Europe’s population took an effect on the
economy. There was a loss of trade because people
were afraid to buy items that were contaminated and
there was no one in which to trade with. Also, nobles
had to pay their laborers more due to the lack of people,
which caused them to lose profits. Peasants began
petitioning the King for higher wages ensuing revolts.
Nobles lost wealth and power, but peasants’ quality of
life increased because they were getting paid more
money. However, new technologies were being
invented due to the lack of labor.

to wear Hufu but it the influence declined
after the High Tang.
Hair buns over a foot high were much
preferred as it gave height and elegance
along with presence.
In the Song Dynasty the costume was
quite simple and natural reflecting the
development tendency of the era.

embarked on a series of extrodinary
public works projects throughout
China including the extension of
the Great Canal in Daidu, a vast
postal station station system and
the building of the capital city
in Daidu.All these projects required
vast amounts of labor and most
of this labor was recruited by the

that generated much animosity
from the peasant ranks.

Rise and Spread of Religion
-In The Tang dynasty there were 2 main religions- Daoism and Buddhism.But along with the rapidly
developed Buddhism some religions from foreign states such as Islam and Christianity were spread to
China and enriched the Tang’s religion. However in Emperor Wuzongs reign, coercion was reinforced on
Buddhism which caused many sects to dissapear except for Zen and a few other remaining sects.
Man$a Mu$a
Musa I of Mali, (Mansa meaning King of Kings) was the
tenth Emperor of the prosperous Mali Empire (present
day Ghana.) Mansa Musa, born in the 1280s, ruled the
empire of Mali from 1312 until his death in 1337. He
was the nephew of Sandiata Keita, the founder of the
empire. With 60,000 men, Musa was a devoted Muslim
who started his Hajj, a pilgrimage to Mecca. Before he
began his pilgrimage, he created mosques in Timbuktu
and Gao.
He had about 12,000 slaves who each carried around 4
golden bars and 80 to 100 camels carrying 300 pounds of
gold dust. He is said to have given out millions of dollars
worth of gold, and that so much was given, it drove the
value of Cairo down. Musa is said to be the richest man
to have ever lived, worth an estimated $400 billion.
Mansa Musa is credited with the spread of Islam to
western Africa. He built schools based on the instruction
of the Qur’an.
