In this video Heimler takes you through Unit 4.4 of the AP World History curriculum. The main theme in all of Unit 4 is the establishment of sea-based (maritime) empires and the effects those empires had on the world.

Here, we look at the kind of influence these empires had on Africa and Asia, the kind of rivalries that spurred imperial expansion on, and the labor systems that kept everything running.

We’ll see that different states had different reactions to European influence. Africa, in a lot of ways, was open to European influence (e.g., the Kingdom of the Kongo). Japan, on the other hand is a good illustration of a country that closed itself off to European influence.

Additionally, European rivalries spurred expansion on. The French and the British vied for dominance. The Spanish and the Portuguese did as well.

The labor systems that enabled such imperial expansion was largely coerced labor. In the Americas, the Spanish implemented the hacienda system, the encomienda system, and the Mita system (borrowed from the Incas). Almost all American colonies eventually replaced native labor with chattel slavery.
