Major Developments and Components |

I will say on several
occasions that Islam is the story of the Post-Classical period.
Mostly because so many other stories are contingent upon it. Pay
attention to how the religion operates as both a spiritual and secular
force. |
|
|
We started with three
principal classical civilizations and in this period we will see those
three expand to breed other civilizations, hence the beginning of this
substantial "change and continuity" form element. The world gets more
complicated now. Notice "Major Regions" has been taken off the
playsheet. No longer relevant. |
|
|
This is the period of
"World Religions", belief systems being exported like trade goods; prior
to this point they were regional...as most things were. As you might
imagine, at times, it causes some problems. |
|
|
Interregional to Global
Networking. Whether or not we have a "global" economy at this point or
not is debatable. I tend to think not, but you can make up your own
minds. What we certainly do have his the establishment of interregional
trade networks that link areas far more expansive than we saw during the
Classical Period. |
