In this video Heimler continues his survey of AP World History for Unit 1 (1200-1450). Here we take a look at what’s happening in the Americas and in Africa.

In the Americas, the Aztecs/Mexicas were thriving in the bustling and cosmopolitan city of Tenochtitlan. In North America the Cahokia were building mounds, and the Chaco and Mesa Verde civilizations were building cities in the sides of cliffs.

CAVEAT!  Heimler’s video below covers 2 topic sections (1.4 and 1.5)!   Just focus on the Americas!  Next week we can go back to Africa!

NEXT WEEK –  In Africa, you don’t find centralized governments like you do in other parts of the world. For example, in the Hausa Kingdom you have a federation of states bound loosely by kinship ties.
