Each of these distinctive regions were located at distant locations both exceedingly impactful, and having their own separate patterns of activity.

    With the collapse of the Roman, Gupta and Han empires, the world was left in a period of chaos with little structure in most areas. However after these collapses and the interlude that followed, post-classical civilizations arose in various regions. There were various reasons for this that ranged from rise of religion to the re-organization of political structures. During the time frame 500 CE to 1200 CE the Middle East and Europe both experienced this post-classical rise and had many similarities and differences among the factors that led to this, particularly in the areas of religion (similarities in rise, differences in spread and role of Christianity and Islam), trade (similarities in rebirth of commerce and rise of new economic systems) and political structure (differences with feudalism, similarities in theocracies and imperial).…

Religion was the feature that societies looked to for guidance and sometimes even governance.

Although this is true for both, religion in Medieval Europe and the Byzantine Empire, had its differences. One major difference is the fact that the Byzantine Empire was divided into two different types of Christianity with two different churches, while Europe was unified with one main church.

Although the differences in both societies were uncanny, there were some similarities, one being the influence religion had on cultural art and architecture.…

Jesus, a Jewish carpenter, founded Christianity in the Roman Empire during the 1st century CE. Initially, Muslims promoted trade while Christians had a negative view of merchants and trade. By 1500 CE, however, it became evident that these attitudes had become increasingly similar, with Muslims more skeptical of trade and Christians being more tolerant towards it.…

    Before the introduction of Islam to West Africa, their cultural religion dominated the region. Because Africa was so big and widely diverse, its religion was hard to categorize under one term. Their religion was based on “animism”, in which they believed everything had souls, and it was associated with nature and the workings of the world. It could be generally assumed that they had one creator god, and lesser gods under it. West Africa has prosperous trade; they traded with India very often through maritime trade and occasionally made dangerous attempts across the Sahara with camel caravans. They used India as a “middle-man” for trade to China, and they also had limited trade with the Islamic nations. Islamic traders were to the north of the Saharan Desert; but since it was rather dangerous to trade, they didn’t do trans-Saharan trade as often.…
