Definition of terms.

The post Slavery in the Mesopotamian and ancient world first appeared on History Lab.

]]> Probably began with the sedentarization of man, and therefore with the birth of agriculture. Slavery was present in the ancient Mesopotamian civilizations of the Assyrians, Sumerians and Babylonians, in the Near Eastern civilizations of the Hittites and Jews, and in Egypt, India and China. In fact, slavery requires large lands to be exploited, economic surpluses and a high population density. It is because of these factors that it started in the Neolithic period, and in particular around 11,000 years ago.

]]> Missionary of the Order of Friars Minor.

The diary of his journey to the East (1318-1330), written on his return by Fra Guglielmo di Solagna, is one of the most surprising that medieval odeporetic literature has left us. The story was intended for Pope John XXII who then resided in Avignon, whose curia was particularly interested in establishing relations with the East.

The post Vasco da Gama first appeared on History Lab.

]]> During the late 15th century and throughout the 16th century, knowledge of terrestrial geography, both physical and human, made great strides. Christopher Columbus, Giovanni Caboto and Amerigo Vespucci explored North and South America and consigned them to history. Meanwhile, Vasco da Gama was the first European to sail across the Indian Ocean to Asia, while Ferdinand Magellan and Francis Drake, who completed the circumnavigation of the globe, confirmed the geographic position of North and South America, which meanwhile became part of maps and world maps, in ever-increasing numbers.

This century of exploration saw the first contacts between different peoples that brought alliances, trade, wars and slavery. These contacts laid the foundation for the modern globalized world.
