Between 1350 and 1750-a time of empires, exploration, and exposure
to radically different lands and cultures-the world reached a
tipping point of global connectedness. In this volume of the
acclaimed series A History of the World, noted international
scholars examine five critical geographical areas during this
pivotal period: Eurasia between Russia and Japan; the Muslim world
of the Ottoman and Persian empires; Mughal India and the Indian
Ocean trading world; maritime Southeast Asia and Oceania; and a
newly configured transatlantic rim. While people in many places
remained unaware of anything beyond their own village, an intense
period of empire building led to expanding political, economic, and
cultural interaction on every continent-early signals of a
shrinking globe. By the early fourteenth century Eurasia's Mongol
empires were disintegrating. Concurrently, followers of both Islam
and Christianity increased exponentially, with Islam exerting a
powerful cultural influence in the spreading Ottoman and Safavid
empires. India came under Mughal rule, experiencing a significant
growth in trade along the Indian Ocean and East African coastlines.
In Southeast Asia, Muslims engaged in expansion on the Malay
Peninsula, Sumatra, Java, and the Philippines. And both sides of
the Atlantic responded to the pressure of European commerce, which
sowed the seeds of a world economy based on the resources of the
Americas but made possible by the subjugation of Native Americans
and the enslavement of Africans.
