6.H.2.1 Explain how invasions, conquests, and migrations affected various civilizations, societies and regions (e.g., Mongol invasion, The Crusades, the Peopling of the Americas and Alexander the Great). || ===‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍**Literacy Standard(s)**=== || ===‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍**Learning Target/Task Analysis**=== The student will understand: Invasions, conquests, and migrations may have o political consequences. o economic consequences. o social consequences. o technological consequences. For example: Popularity of the trading network known as the Silk Roads had wide-ranging consequences. Trade along the various routes impacted economies through the introduction of new products. Silk, jade, and spices were brought to the West and glass, wool, and gold were brought to the East. New cities, prosperous centers of trade and learning, sprung up along the Silk Roads. These cities became multicultural outposts in previously uninhabited lands. Additionally, the quest for alternative trading routes led to better sailing technology. This allowed for increased maritime exploration and eventually the settlement of the Americas. As waves of conquerors invaded Central Asia and sought control of the vast wealth generated through trade, political and social consequences ensued. The Mongols were able to amass a land empire that stretched from the Sea of Japan to the Caspian Sea. The student will know: Various invasions, conquests and migrations and their implications.
