Answer: Social

-The epidemics killed the young, old, and weak in increasingly large amount.

-Mandarins: a special class of powerful officials went out as emissaries of the central government to ensure that local officials implemented imperial policy

Culture

-Yongle organized the preparation of a vast encyclopedia that compiled all significant works of Chinese history, philosophy, and literature (Yongle Encyclopedia)

-The Yongle Encyclopedia sparked interest to ming rulers in supporting native Chinese cultural tradition.

- Hongwu tried to erase all mongol culture and promoted Chinese cultural traditions especially neo-/confucian schools.

- Painters, sculptors, and architects drew inspiration from the Greeks and Romans

- Classical Greek and Latin values encouraged humanists to reconsider medieval ethical teaching

Religion

-Ambitious missionaries tried to convert Mongols and Chinese people to Roman Catholic Christianity because until the 13th century, Christianity had not spread as far east as China.

-Unlike legal scholars, they did not insist on strict Islamic laws, rather a devotion to Allah

-John of Montecorvino was an Italian Franciscan who went to China in 1291 and became the first archbishop of Khanbaliq in 1307.

-Despite these missionaries, in the eastern Mediterranean region, Christianity was still a minority religion.

Interactions

-Other lands didn't actively promote trade, but domestic trade surged within China, reflecting increasing productivity and prosperity.

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

-Portuguese traders took advantage of the long established African commerce in slaves, but they also changed the slave trade by increasing its numbers and by sending them to new destinations

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

-Administrative techniques made their way to the Alps due to the expenses of the Hundred Years' War

Political

-Hongwu went out to erase Mongol rule and establish a government on the model of traditional Chinese dynasties.

- The employment of mandarins and eunuchs enhanced the authority of the central government.

- 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.

Why did abolitionism and the prospect of the emancipation of enslaved people lead to conflict between northern and southern stat
kramer
Abolitionism is one of the many factors that lead to conflict between northern and southern states. This movement focused on getting rid of the institution of slavery. By emancipating (freeing) these slaves, Southern plantation owners would suffer a significant loss in profits, as slaves were not paid for their work.

This threat to Southern society caused them to rebel against this idea and any individual who supported it. This fear of freeing slaves ultimately lead in the secession of the Southern states, as the election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860 posed a serious threat to their way of life.
