Even though China was in a rapidly changing time, it still tried to stay to its roots. One important part of Chinese life was agriculture; almost 70% of the people were farmers in 1500 because of the large population. While Europe, India, and Japan industrialized sometime from 1450 to 1914, China never did. Even after China’s self-imposed isolation ended, several periods of widespread famine, and the disaster known as the Opium Wars in the 19th century, which allowed the Europeans and their ships to travel anywhere in China, and made the Chinese pay tribute. After all of this, China still did not industrialize until the 1960’s.

this is a great number compared to the expenses caused by the dust bowl which were according to the drought.unl.edu site only one billion US dollars. Even though the 1987-1989 drought had less impact on the people, it had a greater impact on the government. The government used the experience of the dust blow, and had a surplus of grain and other crops stored in case of another drought or other natural disasters.

In some areas, population even lost ground again. Growth remained relatively stagnant right into the early to mid-18th century; when it took off again, it was into the astonishing growth that was to last for over two centuries and shows little signs of slowing even now. But that takes us well beyond the bounds of this course. General Trends and Some Specific Examples Some numbers Here as elsewhere for our period, we finally can provide some reasonably reliable statistics. Here are some population levels for European cities in the early 16th century.
The Middle Ages themselves actually occurred roughly between the 5th Century, to the 15th Century, roughly, however, the Middle Ages themselves actually started ending in various places about 150 years before that, and just started transforming in progressive stages. Some of the most important events that occurred, were the transformation in art, the innovations in architecture, the Crusades, Joan of Arcadia, the spread of the Roman Catholic Church, and the growth and spread of towns. In the dark ages, art was dull, flat, and two-dimensional. The images emphasized figures of importance by increasing the size of them, or placing them in a location that would allow the viewer to know of their importance, such as in the middle of the image. The images would have little or no sense of direction, depth, or time, and pictures could even be so confusing that a single picture could literally tell a story.
Through examining the collapse of Rome through Watson’s ‘Spectrum and Pendulum’ and analysing the legacies of the Roman Empire, this essay looked at how the European system was influenced by the legacy of the Roman Empire. From the fall of the Roman Empire in 476AD through to Charlemagne’s Holy Roman Empire in the 9th century, western Europe went through a period of great difficulty. The population of western Europe managed to preserve some of its Roman civilisation, firstly through the founding of the Holy Roman Empire by Charlemagne, ‘restoring’ the original Roman Empire. Secondly, Italy, Spain and France retained varieties of the Latin language, which became the Romance languages of today. Lastly, the population remained or became Catholic, and were organised and represented by the Catholic Church.
Art Movements: Romanticism and Modernism June Tye-Patterson Art 101: Art Appreciation Dr. Elia Haggar 10-12-2013 Art Movements: Romanticism and Modernism Romanticism and modernism are two very different art movements, both movements originated in Western Europe, Romanticism as a reaction to the aristocratic, social, and political norms of the Enlightenment, and Modernism, out of a need to reject tradition and embrace political, social, and economic change of the industrial age. Romanticism refers to an artist trend specific to art produced between 1750 and 1850. Romanticism emerged from a desire for freedom, not only political freedom but also freedom of thought, of feeling, of action, of worship, of speech, of taste (Kleiner, 2014).

Background Kenya’s wage employment grew by an average of 3.6% between 1964 and 1973 and thereafter increased to 4.2% per year between 1974 and 1979.
