African sunset

In this module, you explored empires in two separate regions of the world. The people living in these places developed unique cultures with and without outside influences. The trading kingdoms in East and West Africa grew out of their contact with both the Muslim World and medieval Europeans. The empires of South and Central America developed in isolation, without influences of outsiders from across the ocean. Finally, you explored the positive and negative impacts of increased and/or eventual interaction that grew between the Europeans and those living in Africa and the Americas.
