AP World History

In Unit 1 of AP World covers we covered the developments in Dar al-Islam from approximately 1200 to 1450 CE, focusing on how Islam unified a vast region politically, socially, and economically through the spread of trade, law, and culture. Some key concepts we covered include the rise of new Islamic states like the Seljuks and Turks, the preservation and innovation of knowledge in centers like the House of Wisdom, and the impact of Islamic beliefs, such as the Five Pillars and Sharia law, on society.
