Terms to study for 1st test -- Fall 2006

Here are some terms that you should study for the upcoming test, which will be given in sections next week. The IDs will be drawn directly from this list, but not all of these are necessarily of equal weight. The terms come from both the reading and the lectures, including some lecture material we have not come to yet. Ask any questions in sections or as comments on this posting.

Please note that I have omitted very broad and obvious terms such as the names of major colonial settlements and the various competing empires. You should definitely study the distinctive approach to colonization of all the major empires, the Indian relations of each empire & region, and the family structures, political arrangements, & economic values that were characteristic of each major culture we have discussed.
