This week students will present their Ancient Rome projects and then we will begin our investigation of the rise of Islam & its expansion through the Middle East. As Christianity began to dominate most of Europe, Islam spread in the Middle East. We will discuss the effects that Islam had on culture & politics as well. We will also discuss the Byzantine Empire, which was the Eastern portion of the Roman Empire that lasted long after the Western Roman Empire fell. We will discuss the contributions of the Eastern Empire, as well as the mixture of Eastern culture that made it unique & different from the Western Empire.
