defilements had been eliminated. His teachings of enlightenment, karma, the Four Noble Truths, and the Eightfold Path spread quickly, covering much of southern Asia by the 8th century CE. Buddhism’s gain of followers can be attributed to the help of the Eurasian trade networks, otherwise loosely known as the silk road(s). Likewise, over 1000 years later, Islam developed in a similar manner. In 571 CE, the prophet Muhammad was born in Mecca, and in 610 received his first revelation. His…

If you ever look back on history, you will notice how the Eurasian cultures developed and became civilized quicker than many other civilizations. Some individuals may ask why that happened and what caused it. Specifically, one new Guinean man simply asked Jared Diamond, “Why you white men have so much cargo and we New Guineans have so little?” Diamond thought this was a simple question; however, he did not have a simple answer. Over time and research, he found the answer lies in innovations…

discovered, fought over and claimed so the world had now become a ‘closed’ system. Therefore greater powers would now struggle for world hegemony and the victor would then be able to set up a world empire.

He links the ways in which these great powers try to attain…

There have been many theories posited as to why some countries are developed and wealthy, whilst other countries either remain underdeveloped even now, or were only developed through colonialism by more…

Jared Diamond’s popular book , Guns, Germs and Steel, argues that Eurasians were blessed with superior environmental conditions. Eurasians were able to utilize this advantage to dominate and colonize other parts of the world. According to Diamond, this environmental theory explains the inequality that has occurred in our world in the past 500 years and is the main reason that our world is the way it is today. Although Diamond’s argument looks to be valid on the surface, when examined, it turns…

devastations. Mount Tambora was created and formed by the active subduction zone beneath it. The subduction zone consists of the Australian plate and the Eurasian plate squeezing together at such force that the Australia plate slides beneath the Eurasian plate. The Mount Tambora eruption was caused by the convergent boundary where the Australian and Eurasian plates moved towards each other and clashed so the Australian plate slipped underneath creating a trench and increasing pressure. When…
