also... would anyone happen to know a few key points and be willing to post them about the beginning of season 3? i missed that part and i wanted a good place to start my reviewing/learning. thanks. (:
oh monica, peter the great was the czar that decided to make russia more like western europe. the significance of that is the whole westernization thing. ivan the terrible came before him, and is there to just show the major differences between russia before and after westernization i think.
what are the time periods again for season 3? i have them all mixed up!!
time period for season 3 was 1450-1750. it was the time of the enlightenment and columbian exchange. the societies was mother russia, ottomans, mughals, safavids, ming china, and tokugawa japan.
What do we need to know about tokugawa japan?
Tokugawa Japan was established after a long period of disorder in Japan so the Tokugawa's shogunate was formed. he wanted to prevent civil war by increasing control over the daimyos and by closely controlling outside relations , European merchants were expelled from Japan but the economy grew along with agricultural production and population, dutch merchants were the main source of European influence in Japan at this time
