World History

Exploration and Expansion

Exploration and Expansion

For thousands of years the major civilizations of the world thrived in isolation from one another. These civilizations had very little contact with one another, and in many cases had no knowledge of each other.

This all began to change during the Dark Ages. Both Western Europe and China began to send out explorers in an effort to learn about the world around them. These explorers helped to expand the knowledge of their people.

As a result of their explorations, trade routes opened up between civilizations. Each nation specialized in certain types of products and goods. These goods would be shipped to far away nations in exchange for the goods that they specialized in.

the story goes that because of this belief, constantine was able to defeat his foes. constantine became an ardent1 christian. christianity and other religions were tolerated under constantine's rule. constantine also was responsible for the building of a great cathedral in rome.

should be the answer hope this

well this is going to be a long answer lol ok so the visigoths were a branch of the goths who frequently raided rome, uh the hunas attacked the guptas a lot and weakened them, uuhm of course the romans used math and science in there every day lives i mean they had a whole empire to run, and rome was split into east and west by a general named diocletian. hope this you! : )
