World History Class with Mr. Lutz officially returns! This episode is intended to provide a narrative of how we can understand developments in world history from about 1200 to 1450. In particular, for students of AP World History, think of this as a combined story of what happens in Unit 1 and Unit 2 of your studies.

The general argument made here, which is to be understood, debated, and reinterpreted, is around 1200 we’ve got human societies scattered all over Afro-Eurasia and the Americas. In Afro-Eurasia these societies have been lightly connected by trade routes that have both become stronger and weaker over. But by 1450, there have been greater connections within Afro-Eurasia, leading to more goods, technologies, ideas, and diseases being exchanged. Societies in the Americas have grown stronger and mostly improved connections between themselves as well. Ultimately, it is the strengthening of states that has helped to improve connections between societies during this time.
