A dispute between Caesar and the Senate of Rome culminated in Caesar marching his army on Rome and forcing Pompey, accompanied by much of the?Roman Senate, to flee from Italy to Greece in 49 BC where he could better conscript an army to face his former ally. Caesar, lacking a fleet to immediately give chase, solidified his control over the western Mediterranean ? Spain specifically ? before assembling ships to follow Pompey.?Bibulus, whom Pompey had appointed to command his 600-ship fleet, set up a massive blockade to prevent Caesar from crossing to Greece and to prevent any aid to Italy. Caesar, defying convention, chose to cross the Adriatic during the winter, with only half his fleet at a time.

CHAPTER 3: THE BRITISH EMPIRE IN AMERICA, 1660-1750 THE POLITICS OF EMPIRE, 1660-1713 The Great Aristocratic Land Grab: Charles II gave land of the Carolinas to aristocratic friends, and the land between the Delaware and Connecticut rivers to his brother James, Duke of New York. The administrators of the new colonies created traditional social order, consisting of a gentry class and an established Church of England. The Fundamental Constitutions of Carolina (1669) set down regulations of a manorial system. (See terms) South Carolina remained a poorly governed and violent-stricken settlement until the 1720?s due to conflicts with Indian slaves. Pennsylvania was a place for Quaker refugees to flee to after persecutions in England occurred.

Chapter 5 Proper Nouns and questions (include dates) A. The American colonist, overall, had a good standard of living. Why then did the wealthy gentry lead the original push for rebellion? (pg 127) They wanted to regain their rights, that Parliament was taking away. In 1774 British troops came over, which enrages many colonists. After 1765, lower class people began to join in with the rebellions. B. In your opinion, how did the young and diverse population of the American Colonies help contribute to the American revolution? Nearly 60% of the population in the 1700s was under the age of 21, and with so many young people beginning to understand politics and their society, this large percent has a big influence on the overall thinking of the time.

Chapter 2 New Civilizations in the Eastern and Western Hemispheres, 2200-250 B.C.E. Notes Chapter Thesis: In contrast to the river-valley civilizations of Mesopotamia, Egypt and the Indus Valley surveyed in the previous chapter, the complex societies examined in this chapter subsequently emerge in ecological conditions quite a bit more diverse, sometimes independently, sometimes under the influence of older centers. Whereas the river-valley civilizations were originally largely self-sufficient, each of the new civilizations discussed in this chapter and the next was shaped by the development of networks of long distance trade. Early China, 2000-221 B.C.E.
