Mayelana nalolu hlelo lokusebenza

Sethula i-Empires and Interconnections, uhlelo olusha kakhulu ochungechungeni lokufunda lwedijithali lwe-History Adventures oluzuze umklomelo, manje olutholakala ku-iPad, olucatshangelwe kabusha ngokugcwele kusetshenziswa injini yegeyimu ye-Unity3D enamandla. Lo mkhiqizo wokufunda kwedijithali osebenzisana ngokugcwele, opopayiweyo umele indlela entsha yemfundo yomlando, eyenzelwe isizukulwane sanamuhla sedijithali. I-Empires kanye ne-Interconnections ifaka amahora amaningi wokuqukethwe kwe-multimodal, okuhlanganisa ukuzijabulisa kweselula namandla endaba—okuletha amakhasi omlando ekuphileni!

Inkathi Yokuhlola, Impuphu, Nokuhwebelana Kwamazwe Ngamazwe

I-Empires and Interconnections ihlola isikhathi esiguqukayo kusuka ku-1450-1750, lapho umhlaba uba mncane. Imibuso emikhulu yanda, futhi yalandela imizila yezohwebo, njengoba amazwe aseYurophu ayelwela ukulawula ingcebo yomhlaba eningi ngangokunokwenzeka. Uhlangothi olumnyama lwalokhu kuqhuma kwengcebo namandla ahlanganisiwe kanye nethonya, kwasho ukugqilazwa kanye nencithakalo kwabanye, njengoba abantu baseYurophu bengazi baletha izifo ezabulala izigidi futhi phakathi naleso sikhathi baqala ukuhweba ngezigqila okunyantisayo, okunonya, i-Atlantic Slave Trade. Ezinye izizwe zahlala zizibuse futhi zingabodwa, njengeTokugawa yaseJapane, kodwa kwathatha umzamo omkhulu ukuqeda leli gagasi lokuhlangana kwembulunga yonke.

Umhlaba Wezinhlamvu

Siqala uhambo lwethu ngo-1453, njengoba u-Ioannina, owesifazane waseByzantium naseTurkey, ebhekana nokuvinjezelwa kwe-Ottoman yaseConstantinople, eholwa nguSultan Mehmed II. Impi ilengela entanjeni, kodwa ekugcineni inhloko-dolobha yasendulo iyawa, imemezela ukufa kokugcina koMbuso WaseRoma, kanye nokukhula kwemibuso yamaSulumane yaseMpumalanga Ephakathi, ukulawula kwayo lezi zimpambano ezibucayi kuzocindezela imibuso yezohwebo esafufusa yaseNtshonalanga. I-Europe ukucinga umzila waseNtshonalanga oya e-Asia. Umlingiswa wethu olandelayo, uLuis Felipe Gutierrez, uyisihambi saseSpain, esifisa ukuzuza ingcebo nenkazimulo Ezweni Elisha—ngenkathi esakaza izwi likaNkulunkulu—njengoba uColumbus, uCortez, noPizarro benza ngaphambi kwakhe. Ezintabeni nasemahlathini asePeru ahlaselwe izifo, akhungethwe yimpi, uthola ubuhlanya, ukudideka, nokufa.

ETokugawa Japan, owesifazane osemusha, u-Ishi, ungumeluleki oyinhloko wenduna yempi enamandla, uTokugawa, olwela ukuzuza uShogunate wokuqala. Uzokweluleka uTokugawa ngendlela yokubhekana nalezi zithunywa zevangeli zaseYurophu eziyinqaba, ezishiseka ngokweqile: uma ebonisa umusa, noma kufanele abhekane nazo ngokhahlo, nangobudlova, ukuze aqede usongo lwazo oluzayo. Ngo-1619, sethula uWilliam, indoda eyalethwa ngendluzula indawo yokuhlala entsha yaseJamestown eVirginia, ngabahwebi abangamaPutukezi bezigqila. Ethunjwe izigebengu zamaNgisi eCaribbean, uWilliam wathengiswa kanye nabanye abantu base-Afrika abangu-16 ekoloni elidonsa kanzima laseJamestown-futhi lapho wayezoba ngowokuqala ukubhekana nokuhweba ngezigqila kwamazwe ngamazwe okwakuzohlala amakhulu eminyaka, futhi kubambe izimpilo zezigidi.

Ngemva kwekhulu leminyaka sithola indoda eyodwa, uJonas, isazabalaza ukuthola indawo yayo e-Atlantic World. Njengoba izinkampani ezihwebayo nohulumeni beqinisa amandla abo, amadoda ambalwa anjengoJonas ahlubuka futhi aphenduka izigebengu. Esekelwe endaweni edume kabi yabaphangi baseNassau, eCaribbean, uJonas waphanga imikhumbi yabahwebi. Umbuzo wawuthi koze kube nini aphunyule intambo ka-hangman? Ngakolunye uhlangothi lomhlaba, ezwenikazi laseNdiya, umqoqi wentela waseBengali kufanele anqume ukuthi uzohlala ethembekile yini kuMbusi kaMughal noma abe sohlangothini lweNkampani yaseBritish East India ekhula ngokushesha. Njengoba inkampani ithatha izintambo zokulawula i-Bengal enkundleni yempi, u-Arun kwadingeka anqume ukuthi ukwethembeka kwakhe kukuphi?

I-Empires and Interconnections inselele ukuthi ucabange: Ngabe Ngenzeni? Futhi lo ngumbuzo Ongcono Kakhulu Mayelana Nokwedlule Ongake Ukubuze.
