Hello There!

A primary source tells you about a certain event that happened in the past and it's from that event. When studying historical events, historians want their information to be precise and correct. primary sources are firsthand, contemporary accounts of a certain event that was recorded by somebody who witnessed or experienced that event. Primary sources includes the original stuff and it's very important.

Primary sources are important when studying historical events because primary sources "provide the most information and valid facts about the event." Sources such as journals, newspapers, and pictures would be considered a primary source because they were taken, or written during the event.

Hope this helps.

- Portuguese mariners soon dominated trade between Europe and Asia, since they attempted to control all-shipping in the Indian Ocean.

- Portuguese mariners went on voyages and discovered the Madiras and Azores Islands, all inhabited, which they soon colonized.

- Hongwu established the Ming ("brilliant") Dynasty

- Authorities decided to freeze wages and forbid workers to leave their homes due to epidemics.

- Rulers in both lands took asserted authority of central government of nobility

Technology

-By the mid-thirteenth century gunpowder had reached Europe and Europeans began to experiment with it.

- Muslims introduced sugarcane to European crusaders, who instantly enjoyed the accessibility of refined sugar which led to the increased demand for plantation workers and slaves.

- Roman architects had built domed, but their technology and engineering did not survive the collapse of the Roman empire.

- Brunelleschi's dome as a symbol of the city's wealth and its leadership in artistic and cultural affairs.

Economic

-The development of fresh sources of finance, usually through new taxes levied directly on citizens and subjects.

- Promoted the manufacture of porcelain, lacquerware, fine silk, and cotton textiles.

- The new rulers conscripted laborers to rebuild irrigation systems that had fallen into disrepair during the previous century, and agricultural production.

- Mongol conquests destroyed and brought upon economic decline of many cities

- Zheng He's voyages demonstrated clearly that China could exercise military, political, and economic influence throughout the Indian Ocean basin.

Demography

-Around 1300 C.E. a global climatic change caused temperatures to decline throughout the world called the Little Ice Age

-This caused agricultural production to slow dramatically, leading to famine and even starvation.

-Mongols, merchants, and other travelers helped to spread the Bubonic Plague along trade routes.

-China's population reduced by 10 million through the 70 years of the epidemic plague.

-Europe's population reduced by 25%, but later when the plague settled down the population went back almost 2x their original size.
