10.1 - The World in 1750
The World in 1750 was marked by powerful Eurasian states and empires, coastal African kingdoms,
and growing European maritime empires. The interactions of these states, empires, and kingdoms
disrupted regional trade networks and influenced the development of new global trade networks

A good place to start is to look at the world in 1750 with a map of the empires that existed during this era.
The first handout for the curriculum is the Early Ottoman Empire lesson. Moving eastward, the next are of focus is a lesson on Mughal India that tells how they controlled a large empire with a strong, central government. The next area in Asia is a handout on Tokugawa Japan and how this isolated society existed before the arrival of the Western societies.
The Bourbon family of Europe and Louis XIV of France takes a look at life during the 18th century and a comparison is also seen in the Absolutism in England handout.
To better understand Western Europe I have included a two map document that shows the Countries and Religions of Western Europe in 1750. A thorough understanding of the region at this time will greatly help to better understand the future events.
To compete the Afro-Eurasian study the following is the Early Civilizations of West Africa handout.
