Crusades Seminar, Mongol Discussion HW: China's Golden Age

Download the textbook readings on the Tang, Song, Yuan (that's the Mongols under Kublai Khan, which you read about in the Mongol DBQ, so you're skipping that chapter), and Ming.

Again, the question for this quarter is, based on its 'Golden Age,' which major civilization would have best ruled the world?

So take notes on the "strengths and weaknesses" of China. Focus on how civilized it was, not so much on names and dates. We'll go more deeply into the Ming on Monday.

Reminder:
Quiz next Monday (30 points): Christianity, Islam (<<won't be on quiz), Middle Ages in Europe (textbook reading), First and Third Crusades.
