Description: Review the factors that contributed to the rise of civilization from the earliest times through c. 1600 AD. Compare and contrast the world's first major civilizations in Mesopotamia, China, India, and Egypt, as well as Mexico, Central America, and Peru. Focus on civilizations which reached maturity through military superiority, great and extensive political power, or culture, such as China. As the classical foundation of Western civilization, Greek and Roman civilization is given special consideration. Examine the impact of Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism in shaping world civilization. The transitional period of 1000-1400 is given particular emphasis. By itself, this course meets the general education requirement in Other World Civilizations. The two course cycle, World History 1 and World History 2, satisfies two general education requirements: Western Civilization and Other World Civilizations.
