Major river valleys such as the Nile, Tigris-Euphrates, Indus, and Yellow, all were home to early civilizations, and are STILL critical to commercial-level agricultural development, national infrastructure for the movement of peoples and commodities, and hydroelectric power. The key here is the introduction and development of key technological advances to harness/manipulate the potential of rivers. EX: Aswan Dam, 3 Gorges Dam, Turkey/Syria/Jordan/ daming Tigris Euphrates, Ganges River Valley and the green revolution.MountainsMountains often act as barriers for civilizations.? This can have a positive effect in that it protects a culture from invasion.? They can also have a negative effect by preventing cultural diffusion.?Post-industrial revolution, the development of technological advances to overcome these obstacles has mitigated mountains as barriers to the movement of people, commodities and ideas. EX: railroads, plains, wifi, telephone.Oceans and SeasOceans and seas often act as barriers for civilizations and nations, but can also be a source of food and livelihood, as well as a means for trade and cultural exchange . The barrier effect has both positive and negative aspects, which are mitigated by technological developments. Since the Age of Exploration, European, Muslim and Chinese explorers used and further developed navigation and naval technology to take both exploit these advantages and overcome these obstacles.Africa has a regular coastline.? A positive effect of this was that it was difficult to invade Africa by sea.? A negative effect was that Sub-Saharan Africa remained isolated from the rest of the world for many centuries. This changes during the 19th century with new technological developments and advances in medicine, which allow Europeans to penetrate the pallasades of the coast to enter, imperialize and exploit the interior and its people.IslandsIslands often act as barriers to both invasion and cultural diffusion.? Japan has been able to stay free of foreign control though most of its history, but has also been isolated from the world for centuries at a time; this changes in the 19th century with the arrival of Commodore Perry and the great White American Fleet and the Meiji Restoration. Great Britain was able to stay free of Napoleonic invasion and German control during World War II because they are an island nation.RainforestsRainforests often act as barriers, but can also be a resource center.? As a barrier, they prevent invasion and cultural diffusion.? An example would be the African or Amazon rainforests.? They can also be a source of raw materials. An example would be the Amazon Rainforests which provide hardwoods, medicines, and other raw materials, as well as are being converted to agricultural land for commercial use.Deserts and arid landsDeserts often act as barriers.? An example would be the Sahara Desert that protected lower Africa from invasion for many centuries, and can prevented cultural diffusion. At the same time, deserts can be sources of natural resources. With the development of advanced technology, some of this land can now be converted into farmland or be exploited for its natural resources.THEME 2TURNING POINTS-Enlightenment-Political Revolutions (19th Century)-Nationalism (19th and 20th Century)-Industrial Revolution-Agrarian Revolution-World War Two-Cold War-TerrorismWhat you should know:Describe the causes and key events that led to turning points throughout history.Explain how these turning point changed the course of history in the short term and the long term.Identify the major revolutions in world history and the factors that led to themIdentify and discuss the immediate and long terms effects of these revolutionsEnlightenment The Basics Thomas Hobbes: absolutism (man was basically greedy, selfish, and cruel);
