Asia Presentation
Transcript: Afica and Asia Presentation Conclusion Starting in early 200’s, the first of the dynasties had ended. Other leaders tried to take the power that Han had. After certain leaders tried their time, the Mongols came and took control. The Mongols ruled for a long time, in which violence carried on. A man by the name of Shotoku Taishi tried unifying Japan under one government. After his death, everything fell out of hand again. About 800 years later, trade became very popular in Southeast Asia. Several groups, including the Portuguese, the Dutch and the Europeans fought for trade routes. The Dutch became very strong in the islands (non-mainland), while the Portuguese had support from the mainland states such as Vietnam and Thailand. As the years continued, ways of religion in the non-mainland states changed. Christianity had started making its way, while in the mainland, Buddhism was the main teaching. In 1500, mainland southeast Asia was a relatively stable area. All around the region, from Bruma to Vietnam Kingdoms formed with their own ethnicities, languages, and cultural elements. Bibliography In 1511, Portuguese seized Melaka, one of the main sources of spice. The Portuguese did not have s military large enough to take full control of Melaka, so they made small settlements around it to be included in the trade.

Kublai khan made his capital at Khanbaliq in north China. This area would later be renamed Beijing. By this time, religious preferences had changed quite a lot as well, and Confucianism had become dominant in court. In the early seventh century, Shotoku Taishi began trying to unify Japan under one government and give more power to the sole ruler of Japan. This was done to more effectively prepare the islands of Japan against an invasion. Since this was enacted, it caused the ruler of Japan to be viewed as a divine figure and symbol of Japan. After Shotoku Taishi died, another yamato ruler was appointed, but he was very strongly influenced by the Fujiwara clan. In 710 the emperor began to create his capital at Nara. In 794 the emperor moved his capital from Nara to Heian, which is now at the site of modern day Kyoto. By this time the Fujiwara clan basically ruled through the emperor and because of it, the government began returning to their decentralized state. During the time of trade, religious beliefs changed. In the non-mainland states, Islam and Christianity were taking action. In the mainland however, Buddhism remained as the main belief, and influenced new ways of government. The Han dynasty has fallen and ended in 220, making china a chaotic empire. For over three hundred years the Chinese went through disorder and civil war. The Sui dynasty came next, but it did not manage for too long (581-618) However, even though they did not last for very long, the Sui dynasty was still able to keep china at peace for a time.

The Dutch took control of a Portuguese fort in Melaka, excluding them from the trade. As the Dutch became more powerful, they took over most of the trade, leaving the English with a port in southern Sumatra, and leaving the Portuguese with nothing. As Dutch military and political power grew, so did their expansion of control. Chapter 6 less. 3 In 1767, the Thai capital was attacked by the Burmese army, which forced the Thai to move their capital to what is now Bangkok. By 1800 the Khmer monarchy was all but gone, thanks to several attacks made by the Vietnamese. Things were different in the Malay Peninsula. Over there Islamic traders were slowly entering the area because of the growing attraction to the spice trade. The Portuguese, Dutch and Europeans continued to fight over the trade routes. While the Europeans and the Dutch were fighting over trade in the islands, The Portuguese were in trade with some of the mainland states. This was an advantage for them because the mainland had strong monarchies and political unity. The small trade islands were very unorganized. The only reason they were profitable, was for the many spices they had. The Asian World and Southeast Asia in the Era of the Spice Trade By Brandon Kieler, Nick Carter, and Isaac Hanson Then in 960 a new dynasty known as the song dynasty rose up and had the best economic prosperity and cultural achievement out of all the dynasties. This dynasty fell when the Mongols created the Mongol dynasty. Chapter 3 less. 3 "Google Images." Google Images. N.p., n.d. Web. 23 Sept. 2012. <http://images.google.com/imgres?q=mongols>.
