| ARTICLES RELATED TO History of the Americas | | | |  History of the Americas: Encyclopedia II - South America - GeographyThe classification of its geographic location is subject to dispute, as in some non-English speaking regions of the world, the Americas are a continent and North, Central and South America are its subcontinents.

The classification given to South America, as a subcontinent in a continent or a continent in a supercontinent ...

| | | | | History of the Americas: Encyclopedia II - History of the world - State Agriculture led to several major changes. It allowed far larger population densities, which organized themselves into states. There are several definitions used for the term "state." Max Weber and Norbert Elias defined the state as an organization of people that has a monopoly on the legitimate use of force in a particular geographic area.
The first states appeared in ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia in the late 4th and early 3rd millennia BC. Ancient Egypt began as a state without cities. In Mesopotamia there were several city-states. A state needs an army to impose the legitimate use of forc ...

| | | | | History of the Americas: Encyclopedia II - History of the world - City and trade Agriculture also created, and allowed for the storage of, food surpluses that could support people not directly involved in food production. The development of agriculture permitted the creation of the first cities. These were state centers with nearly no agricultural production of their own. The cities were parasites of a sort, absorbing agricultural products from the surrounding countryside.
The development of cities led to what has been called civilization: first Sumerian in lower Mesopotamia (3500 BCE), then Egyptian along the Nil ...

| | | | | History of the Americas: Encyclopedia II - History of the world - Age of Discovery In the fourteenth century the Renaissance began in Europe. Some modern scholars have questioned whether this flowering of art and humanism was a benefit to science, but the era did see an important fusion of Arab and European knowledge. One of the most important developments was the caravel, which combined the Arab lateen sail with European square rigging to create the first vessels that could safely sail the Atlantic Ocean. Along with important developments in navigation, this technology allowed Christopher Columbus in 1492 to penetrate across the Atlantic Ocea ...

After 1990 the Soviet Union collapsed and the United States became the sole superpower, te ...

| | | | | History of the Americas: Encyclopedia II - History of the world - Rise of Europe The second half of the second millennium was dominated by the expansion of European power around the world. Why Europe, which had been a peripheral area during its Middle Ages, came to dominate the planet is one of the most important questions of world history.
Other parts of the world had become more advanced than Europe. China had developed an advanced monetary economy by 1000 CE. China had a free peasantry who were no longer subsistence farmers, and could sell their produce and actively participate in the market. The agriculture wa ...

| | | | | History of the Americas: Encyclopedia II - History of the world - Age of kingdoms Throughout the temperate zones of Eurasia, America, and North Africa, large empires continued to rise and fall.
The gradual breakup of the Roman Empire, which spanned several centuries following the 2nd century CE, coincided with the spread of Christianity westward from the Middle East. The western part of the Roman Empire fell under the domination of various Germanic tribes in the 5th century, and these polities gradually developed into a number of warring Catholic states. The remaining part of the Roman Empire in the eastern Mediter ...

| | | | | History of the Americas: Encyclopedia II - History of the world - Bronze and Iron Ages Agricultural settlements had until this time been almost completely dependent on stone tools. In Eurasia, copper and bronze tools, decorations, and weapons began to become commonplace around 3000 BCE. After bronze, the Eastern Mediterranean region, Middle East and China saw the introduction of iron tools and weapons. The Americas may not have had metal tools until the Chavin horizon in 900 BCE. We also know that the Moche had metal armor, knives and tableware. Even the metal-poor Inca had metal-tipped plows, at least after the conquest of Ch ...

Initially the Vikings established a short-lived settlement in Newfoundland. Theories exist about other Old World discoveries of the east coast (or of the west coast by the Chinese), but none of these are considered proven. It was the later voyage of Christopher Columbus that led to extensive European colonization of the Americas and the marginalization of its inhabitants.
The mass death of Native Americans from slavery, disease and war led to se ...
