This assignment is worth an estimated 10% of your first marking period grade. NOTE: For the finished project to be a “timeline” and not simply a list, the spacing between years, and the selected incremental steps from year to year, MUST REMAIN CONSTANT throughout the entire timeline, moving from the left to the right, or from the top to the bottom of the paper. Example: Whether you select the year increment to be 100 years (…1800BCE, 1700BCE, 1600BCE…) or 1000 years (…3000BCE, 2000BCE, 1000BCE…), you will first create a straight line with hash-marks* that are equally spaced (e.g. 1 inch between hash-marks) and then list the years – with constant incremental steps, in proper consecutive order - along the straight line. The distance and time interval between each listed year MUST BE CONSTANT and remain the same throughout the timeline. (e.g. If the distance between years 1400BCE and 1300BCE is 1 inch then the distance between 1900CE and 2000CE further along the tine would also be 1 inch.) Search for “Histomap” to view an example of a timeline or go to https://www.visualcapitalist.com/histomap/ *The marks or intervals on a ruler are called hash-marks. .

  • Inca Civilization 1425 A.D - 1532 A.D
    Inca Civilization 1425 A.D - 1532 A.D The Inca first appeared in the Andes region during the 12th century A.D. and gradually built a massive kingdom through the military strength of their emperors. Known as Tawantinsuyu, the Incan empire spanned the distance of northern Ecuador to central Chile and consisted of 12 million inhabitants from more than 100 different ethnic (cultural) groups at its peak. Well-devised agricultural and roadway systems, along with a centralized religion and language, helped maintain a cohesive (solid) state. Despite their power, the Inca were quickly overwhelmed by the diseases and superior weaponry of Spanish invaders, the last bastion of their immense empire overtaken in 1572. The Inca first appeared in what is today southeastern Peru during the 12th century A.D (1100’s). According to some versions of their origin myths, they were created by the sun god, Inti, who sent his son Manco Capac to Earth through the middle of three caves in the village of Paccari Tampu. After killing his brothers, Manco Capac led his sisters and their followers through the wilderness before settling in the fertile valley near Cusco circa 1200. The expanding reach of the Inca state, lead to the need for information and people to travel quickly throughout the empire. Pachacuti Inca Yupanqui is believed to have been the first Inca emperor to order forced resettlement to squash the possibility of an uprising from one ethnic (cultural) group. In addition, he established the practice in which rulers were prevented from inheriting the possessions of their fathers, thereby making sure that new leaders would conquer new lands and accumulate new wealth of their own.

  • Comparison of Spanish Colonization—Latin America and the Philippines
    Title: Comparison of Spanish Colonization—Latin America and the Philippines Teacher: Anne Sharkey, Huntley High School Summary: This lesson took part as a comparison of the different aspects of the Spanish maritime empires with a comparison of Spanish colonization of Mexico & Cuba to that of the Philippines. The lessons in this unit begin with a basic understanding of each land based empire of the time period 1450-1750 (Russia, Ottomans, China) and then with a movement to the maritime transoceanic empires (Spain, Portugal, France, Britain). This lesson will come after the students already have been introduced to the Spanish colonial empire and the Spanish trade systems through the Atlantic and Pacific. Through this lesson the students will gain an understanding of Spanish systems of colonial rule and control of the peoples and the territories. The evaluation of causes of actions of the Spanish, reactions to native populations, and consequences of Spanish involvement will be discussed with the direct correlation between the social systems and structures created, the influence of the Christian missionaries, the rebellions and conflicts with native populations between the two locations in the Latin American Spanish colonies and the Philippines. Level: High School Content Area: AP World History, World History, Global Studies Duration: Lesson Objectives: Students will be able to: Compare the economic, political, social, and cultural structures of the Spanish involvement in Latin America with the Spanish involvement with the Philippines Compare the effects of mercantilism on Latin America and the Philippines Evaluate the role of the encomienda and hacienda system on both regions Evaluate the influence of the silver trade on the economies of both regions Analyze the creation of a colonial society through the development of social classes—Peninsulares, creoles, mestizos, mulattos, etc.

  • The Spanish Unraveling of the Incan Empire: the Importance of Fibers and Textiles of the Past
    University of Wisconsin–Superior McNair Scholars Journal, volume 2, 2001 The Spanish Unraveling Of the Incan Empire: The Importance of Fibers and Textiles of the Past Rhonda R. Dass, Art History William Morgan, M.F.A. Department of Visual Arts ABSTRACT Steeped in ancient traditions, modern day Peru can boast the continuation of cultural heritage dating back before 1000 BC. The coastal desert climate is perfect for the preservation of textiles long buried in the sacred graves of past peoples. From these artifacts we can see how important the textiles of the Incan culture were to its people. Some argue that internal strife was the main factor for the ease with which the Spaniards were able to conquer the advanced civilization of the Incas. Others argue that the empire was already in decline. Perhaps the textile– based economy of the Incan empire was the prime factor. History of the Incan Empire: Geographical and Political The area of South America, which once sustained the mighty Incan empire during the early half of the 10th millennium, is a diverse, breathtaking and often inhospitable land. As the Incans, led by Manco Capac, spread their empire across the South American continent they conquered numerous small tribes scattered throughout an awesome array of nature's wonders. They started their reign in the area surrounding Lake Titicaca, still considered a sacred place by their modern day ancestors, taking control of the local Tiwanaku peoples. From this region nestled in the Andes Mountains they battled their way across mountain ridges that draw a line down the coastal areas of South America.

  • 480 Andrew Redden, Tr. and Ed., in Recent Years, Scholars of the Early
    480 Book Reviews Andrew Redden, tr. and ed., The Collapse of Time: The Martyrdom of Diego Ortiz (1571) by Antonio de la Calancha [1638]. Warsaw: De Gruyter, 2016. Pp. 391. Hb, $196. In recent years, scholars of the early modern period, such as A. Lavrín (2014), R. Cimbalista (2014), U. Strasser (2015), A. Cañeque (2016), A. Coello (2016), and P. Gwynne (20018), among others, have turned their gaze to hagiographies and accounts of martyrs who died with a reputation of sanctity in the Americas and the Philippines. In this documented volume, Andrew Redden delves into the missionary work and subsequent violent death of fray Diego Ortiz (1571) in the independent Inca state of Vilcabamba (Peru). Unfortunately, the Inca emperor Titu Cusi Yupanqui suddenly died after a ritual celebration involving feasting and drinking, and the Augustinian friar was accused of poisoning him. Friar Antonio de la Calancha’s chronicle, Crónica moralizada del orden de San Agustín en el Perú (Barcelona, 1638), recounts the horrific martyrdom that Ortiz suffered after unsuccessfully attempting to cure Titu Cusi with his knowledge of herbs, the subsequent invasion of Vilcabamba, and the capture and execu- tion of the last claimant of the Inca throne, Tupac Amaru, in 1572. In his remarkable book, Andrew Redden offers us the concluding observa- tions about Ortiz’s martyrdom that have been presented in his previous re- search: Calancha’s collapse of time into a single spiritual landscape (Andrew Redden, “The Spiritual Landscape of Antonio de Calancha: The Destructions of Jerusalem, Palestine and Vilcabamba, Peru (69–1572 ad),” Cultural History 2.2 (2013): 134).
