KEY MOMENTS

China and the Arab Empires dominated the early part of this period. The latter
part of the period begins the domination of Europe.

From 1096, Europe began attacking the Arab world in a series of religious
conflicts known as The Crusades. These would last for 200 years. Many Arabic or
Asian innovations reached Europe from these contacts, including windmills, boat
rudders and hospitals. In 1204, the Crusaders sacked the city of Constantinople,
destroying the last remaining writings from Ancient Greece.

In 1071 the Battle of Manzinkart was fought between the Byzantine Empire and the
(Turkish) Seljuk Empire. The Turks won and went on to dominate Asia Minor. In
1266 Venetian trader, Marco Polo and his relatives, begin the travels to China
that would bring many Chinese inventions to Europe. The Byzantine Empire ended
in 1453 when Constantinople was conquered by the (Turkish) Ottoman Empire. The
Ottomans would eventually take over the Muslim regions from the Arabs (after the
Battle of Merj-Dabik in modern Syria). Christian Spain conquered Islamic Moorish
Spain in 1492. The libraries in Toledo and Cordoba formed the basis of
university courses in Venice and Genoa and helped begin the Renaissance
("rebirth") in Europe.

Regular contact between Europe and the Americas began after 1492, lead by Spain.
This contact would prove disasterous to the Americans as Europeans would destroy
most of their cultures and civilisations, including that of the Incas (began
c1300) and the Aztecs (from 1370).

Between 1493 and 1555 many plant products passed from the Americas to Europe,
including tobacco, pineapples, capsicums, potatoes, tomatoes, chocolate,
peanuts, sunflowers, sweet potatoes, corn, popcorn, turkeys, chili peppers and
beans. Tomatoes, a crucial part of Italian cusine, reached Italy in 1534. In the
other direction, Spain took sugarcane to Cuba (1523) and wheat to Mexico (1528).

A rapid fire crossbow was being used in China c1050. This could fire 2000 arrows
in 15 seconds. At the same time the Anglo-Saxons used double bladed spades. Bone
setting casts made from flour and eggs were used in Sicily c1100. Paris was the
first European city to have city paving (1184).

Around 1100, Europe began using paper (via Moorish Spain) and umbrellas. Arabic
numerals reached Europe (again via Moorish Spain) c1100. Mechanical clocks were
re-invented in Europe c1275. Sometime after 1300 gunpowder and grenades reached
Europe. In 1400 porcelain arrived in Europe. In 1460, the Portuguese brought
Japanese folding fans and silk screen printing to Europe.

The Romany (Gypsy) people began migrating from India towards Europe around 1000.

The Battle of Hastings (1066) saw Anglo-Saxon England conquered by the Normans
of France. Sugar arrived in England in 1460.

Moveable type was adapted by Johannes Gutenberg (Germany) who printed the first
books in Europe in 1454.

In 1054, a star appeared in the constellation of Taurus. It was a supernova
(exploding star) that was bright enough to be visible in broad daylight (for two
months) and to cast shadows at night. It disappeared after two years. Although
observed and written about in China, Japan and Arabia it was not reported in
Europe.

On 9 May 1386, the Treaty of Windsor was signed between Portugal and England.
This treaty has never been broken and is the longest lasting treaty between any
two nations. African slaves went on sale in Lisbon (capital of Portugal) in
1441. This would lead to a slave trade that would result in the forced movement
of 20 million people from Africa to the Americas and the Caribbean.
