Annual Editions: World History, Volume 2PrefaceCorrelation GuideTopic GuideInternet ReferencesUnit 1: The World and the West, 1500–1900Unit Overview1. Aztecs: A New Perspective, John M. D. Pohl, History Today, December 2002Who were the Aztecs? What were their accomplishments? What caused their downfall? For centuries, the answers to these questions were shrouded in mystery and misinterpretation. John M. D. Pohl offers a fresh interpretation of the Aztecs and their civilization, by writing from the perspective of our twenty-first century world.2. The Mughal Dynasties, Francis Robinson, History Today, June 2007Although originally viewed as Islamic conquerors, the Mughals established dynasties that practiced an inclusive tolerance and encouraged artistic endeavors. The Taj Mahal in Agra has become their most lasting legacy.3. The Peopling of Canada, Phillip Buckner, History Today, November 1993Canada was the creation of two imperial powers—France and England—during two distinct time periods. At first a French colony and later a British one, Canada experienced dramatically different immigration patterns. During the earlier French phase, emigration to Canada was painfully slow.

The problems the British faced are similar to those facing the United States today.8. New Light on the ‘Heart of Darkness,’ Angus Mitchell, History Today, December 1999In 1899, Joseph Conrad’s novel attacked British imperialism in Africa and the Social Darwinist principles that were its foundation. It also spawned a strong humanitarian movement to end widespread abuses against Africa’s people.Unit 2: The Ferment of the West, 1500–1900Unit Overview9. The World, the Flesh and the Devil, Robert W.
