In this video Heimler reviews Unit 3 of the AP World History Curriculum for you. The main idea during this period is this: how did land-based empires consolidate and legitimize their power from 1450-1750?
The main ways they did this were as follows: the establishment of bureaucracies, collecting taxes, and the use of religion, art, and monumental architecture. All of this was true for the Qing Dynasty, the Songhai Empire, the Mughal Empire, the Ottoman Empire, and the Safavid Empire. All these gunpowder empires grew in roughly the same manner. The Aztec Empire was similar but didn't employ a bureaucracy to get things done. Rather, they employed a tribute system to maintain control.
Additionally, Heimler explains how religion can be both a unifying force (as in the Islamic Songhai Empire) and a dis-unifying force (as in Europe with the split between the Roman Catholic Church and the Protestants in the Protestant Reformation).
All of this aligns with Unit 3 of the AP World History curriculum (topic 4). If you have any questions, leave them in the comments below.
