The primary source documents from Pietro della Valle and Nzinga Mbemba demonstrate that the world-especially relationships between Europe and the rest of the world–were changing in the 1500s. What changed and how are those changes reflected in these letters? (This is most obvious in the letter by Mbemba, but we encourage you to include both documents in your essay) You may cite them using the document number in parentheses following the citation. (EWC 2.1, for example) you do not need to quote the document directly. It is better to describe what the document says than  to include a long quote. 

I have provided the 1 article for analysis in the files. Please follow the instructions for me “Learning Through Discussion” assignment. Ignore any question referring to an inclass discussion. When integrating the article into the themes of my class feel free to keep it vague and just surface level. Here are some discriptions of my course from the syllabus to try and provide you more information.
Class: Hist 103 Pirates, Sailors & Smugglers at Sea
Course Description: This course explores how oceanic exchanges shaped the early-modern and modern era from 1400 CE to the present. Beginning with the Mediterranean Sea and continuing with units on the Indian, Atlantic, and Pacific Oceans, the course examines various political, religious, technological, cultural, economic, artistic, and military aspects of the maritime world connecting the Americas, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. We will pay particular attention to individuals—sailors, smugglers, pirates, etc.—to unravel how large bodies of water affected the lives of historical actors. Recognizing oceans as vibrant living spaces will challenge our conceptions of borders, empires, and the nation-state and help us define what we mean by the terms global and transnational histoty.
Course Objectives: GE- Worldview and Ethics.The course helps students to understand and analyze the history, institutions, values and actions of societies other than the United States.

1. Revisit your answer for Discussion 1. 2. Re-read the following from Linda K. Kerber et al., eds., Women’s America: 1) Introduction, xxiv-xxx. 2) Kathleen M. Brown, “The Anglo-Indian Gender Frontier,” 2-11. 3. Write 30-100-word answers to the questions below. III. Questions: 1. What is women’s history? Define it in one sentence based on the introduction of our textbook, Women’s America. 2. How does the inclusion of women alter the perspective of U.S. history, or doesn’t it? In other words, how does the US history look different with women in it? 3. Compare your answer to Discussion 1 and here. 1) Are your answers to Discussion 1 and here somewhat different? How are your answers different? Why do you think they are different? 2) Are your answers to Discussion 1 and here almost identical? Why do you think they are the same?

Historians generally refer to the period from about 1450 to 1750 as the “early modern era.” This term implies that certain elements of the modern world emerged during this era. Of course, history is always more varied and nuanced than neat chronological boundaries can capture.
Identify one aspect of the modern world that may have emerged during the “early modern” period. Then, explain how that same aspect could also be viewed as a continuation of older patterns, and thus falls short of being fully modern. Use specific examples from the readings to support your response.

What makes Texas History so contentious according to Carlos Blanton, Simon Romero, and Steven Monacelli?
use Chicago-style footnotes to cite sources. Responses should be typed in 12-point font and be double spaced. 
Use Arabic (ex. 1, 2, 3) rather than Roman numerals for your citations. When providing examples for the prompt please use direct quotes from the articles and cite them in the footnotes.
There are three articles that need to be read, one is attached as a file at the bottom, and two of them I will copy the links for down below.
