Chapter 14 (second half) + Chapter 14 documents

-
     This chapter just continued by talking about trade, but in this part, I got that it was talking about the slave trade. Again, looking at both the maps and the graphs was a very great way to visualize the numbers and the routes. The part where it talked about Ayuba Suleiman Diallo was also a great and interesting part to read and understand what was going on. As for the documents what I got from it was about the status of people and how they would inherit it or how they would reach such status.

This chapter was interesting in the way that I was finally to see how China fit into the modern era. They believed they were the superior country and it's almost weird to see the certain types of crisis they had throughout this seeing as though they have always believed to be superior and had always thrived in the trading of silk. It was interesting to read about the Opium trade the, first seeing as though I didn't know what Opium was and learning about it, and secondly learn about the addiction problem it brought to China. The comparison between China and the Ottoman Empire was almost amazing to see how similar they were civilization was but it was there falling that was the biggest contrast. It was also interesting to hear that Japna was better at transforming into modernization than China was, and not only transforming but being able to keep it that way.

I felt relieved knowing that I knew a few things but it was also good seeing the dates as confusing as they may be.
