Separate exchange from conquest
See this course’s project requirements
A world-history connection map using supplied historical source summaries to compare trade, migration, exchange and unequal power across three periods.
Keep your working files in your own notebook or software. Save a private description, checklist, and work link in My Proof.
What to include
- Dated three-period connection map.
- Exchange/conquest/coercion distinction.
- Goods/knowledge/ideas map.
- Attributed fictional push/pull comparison.
- Continuity/change matrix.
- Source-limited final explanation.
Review and revise
Use these criteria to check your work and choose what to improve.
- Map distinguishes periods, endpoints, overlap and intermediaries.
- Comparison retains consent/coercion and human harm.
- Movement explanation preserves varied motives and adoption limits.
- Final writing separates historical references, original illustrations and unsupported inferences.

The idea in everyday life
Supplied educational distinctions: exchange involves transactions; conquest involves force and control; enslavement deprives people of freedom and coerces labor/movement. Original fictional cards for method practice: X merchants negotiate cloth prices; Y soldiers seize a port; Z captives are forcibly transported and sold. Cards are not fabricated archival records.
Movement and exchange can coexist with unequal power. Identify consent, coercion and control rather than labeling all cross-border movement voluntary trade.
Separate exchange from conquest — supplied practice

1. Step 1
Classify X by the supplied action.
You should see: Negotiated exchange; other unprovided conditions remain unknown.
2. Step 2
Classify Y by force/control.
You should see: Conquest in this supplied card.
3. Step 3
Classify Z and name the human harm.
You should see: Forced transportation and enslavement, not a voluntary job move.
4. Step 4
Apply the distinction to note B from lesson 1.
You should see: The historical Atlantic-slavery summary must retain force and colonial exploitation; trade terminology cannot erase coercion.
What to finish
An action/consent/control distinction.
Watch for this
Using trade as a neutral label that hides forced enslavement.
How can I tell I understand it?
Classify exchange, conquest and forced movement from the stated actions rather than treating every connection as voluntary trade.
