Post+Classical+Unit



__**Main Ideas**__ The Post Classical Period is identified by the spread of major religions like Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam throughout Asia, Europe, and Northern Africa. Religions began to spread a lot quicker as borders became more "shadey". Plus an influx in sea trading would lead to advancements in navigation. The biggest change was now the government would become a theocracy as religion would become a driving power in all aspects of life. Ideas of the classical periods would carry over like the Chinese Beauracracy and it would be the Islamic Empire that kept the advances in science and math done by the Greeks and refine them. Women, who were often portrayed as being "spirtually equal" by many religions, did enjoy more freedoms in that aspect of life, but however women still took on a role lower then the men.
