the astrolabe and larger ship designs.

military expansion, and Islam subsequently expanded through the activities of merchants, missionaries, and Sufis.

indigenous cultures influenced merchant cultures.

and technological innovation. Chinese cultural traditions continued, and they influenced neighboring regions.

South and Southeast Asia.
Empires collapsed in different regions of the world and in some areas were replaced by new imperial states, including the Mongol khanates.
In the Americas and in Africa, as in Eurasia, state systems demonstrated continuity, innovation, and diversity, and expanded in scope and reach.
Inter-regional contacts and conflicts between states and empires, including the Mongols, encouraged significant technological and cultural transfers,
Changes in trade networks resulted from and stimulated increasing productive capacity, with important implications for social and gender structures
