5.

In this video Heimler walks you through Unit 4 Topic 5 (4.5) of the AP World History curriculum. Mainly, he deals with two things: what economic strategies did sea-based empires use to increase their power,

and

how did the development of these empires affect political, economic, and religious cultural dynamics in the places where they existed.

The economic strategies were all rooted in the economic system that dominated Europe at the time, namely, mercantilism. Mercantilism led to the rise of joint-stock companies which financed exploration and influenced the Commercial Revolution in trade.

Other economic topics covered in this video include the rise of the Triangular Trade, and the establishment of trade monopolies.

And dealing with the political and cultural dynamics of empire building, we’ll see that there were essentially two responses to European intrusion: syncretism and conflict.
