Answer: This unit serves an introduction to world regions and interconnections as of the
year 300 CE. The teacher explains that a central question of the seventh-grade
world history course is How did the distant regions of the world become more
interconnected through medieval and early modern times? In this unit, students
will study the interconnections of world cultures in 300 CE. The world’s people
were fundamentally divided into two regions: Afroeurasia (or the Eastern
Hemisphere) and the Americas (or the Western Hemisphere). In the Americas,
there were many different cultures. In two areas, Mesoamerica and the area along
the Andean mountain spine, states and empires with large cities were supported by
advanced agricultural techniques and widespread regional trade. In 300 CE, the
Maya were building a powerful culture of city-states, and Teotihuacán in central
Mexico was one of the largest cities in the world. These two centers traded with
each other. In the Andes region, the state of Tiahuanaco extended its trade
networks from modern-day Peru to Chile. While these two regions were probably
not in contact with each other, trade routes crossed much of North and South America.
