A Islamic empires controlled trade in much of the northwestern Indian Ocean and the Arabian Sea. B The Indian Ocean prevented the caliphates from spreading westward from their origin.

7 The rise of the Ghana Empire, centered on what is now Mali, Senegal, and southern Mauritania, paralleled the increase in trans Saharan trade. Mediterranean economies were short of gold, but could supply salt taken from places like the African salt mine of Taghaza, whereas West African countries had plenty of gold, but needed salt. The trans Saharan slave trade was also important because large numbers of Africans were sent north, generally to serve as domestic servants or slave concubines. The West African states imported highly trained slave soldiers. It has been estimated that from the 10th to the 19th century some 6,000 to 7,000 slaves were transported north each year. Perhaps as many as nine million slaves were exported along the trans Saharan caravan route. Several trade routes became established, perhaps the most important ending in what is now Morocco to the north. There, and in other North African cities, Berber traders had increased contact with Islam, encouraging conversions, and by the 8th century, Muslims were traveling to Ghana. Many in Ghana converted to Islam, and it is likely that the Empire's trade was privileged as a result. 18 Using the reading above, all of the following were part of the trans Saharan trade that included gold and salt EXCEPT F rise of Ghana as a power G East African commerce H large slave trade 20 republic : government :: caliphate : F government G army H religious deity ruler conversions to Islam 19 Which of the following is characteristic of slavery in Muslim and African societies during the Middle Ages? A Enslaved people had a variety of roles and responsibilities. B Enslaved people were not allowed to marry or reproduce. C Enslaved people could own land and sell their produce. D Enslaved people were not allowed to practice their religion. 21 What was the result of the Muslims moving into the area around erusalem during this era? A Christians were forced to leave that area forever. B A war with ewish inhabitants resulted. C They came into conflict with Christians. D They anointed erusalem as a holy city. Page 7

8 Use the passage and your knowledge of social studies to answer the following question. Caliph Abu Bakr, the first successor of Muhammad, nominated Umar as Caliph on his deathbed, and there was consensus in the Muslim community to his choice. Umar Ibn Khattab, the second caliph, was assassinated by a servant. His successor, Uthman Ibn Affan, was elected by a council of electors (Majlis), but was soon perceived by some to be ruling as a "king" rather than an elected leader. Uthman was assassinated during an armed rebellion. Ali then took control but was not universally accepted as caliph by the governors of Egypt and later by some of his own guard. He faced two major rebellions and was assassinated after ruling only five years. This period is known as the Fitna, or the first Islamic civil war. 22 Using the reading above, what can be inferred about the development of caliphates in the Islamic faith? F G The caliphs that followed Muhammad were accepted as his choices. Muhammad did not clearly define how caliphs were to be determined. H The caliphs that ruled after Muhammad directly followed his teachings. Muhammad did not want to see a caliphate established after his death. 23 All of the following technological advances began in Tang or Ming China and spread to other cultures of contact EXCEPT A trigonometry B gunpowder C optics D magnetic compass Page 8

9 24 Which of the following best summarizes the effects of Mongol invasions on the Islamic world? F G Mongols controlled much of the Islamic region and were converted to Islam while they were in power. They left because the Seljuk Turks became powerful. Mongols were more interested in India and the spice trade than in the Islamic world, so they left Iraq and moved eastward to control South Asia. H Mongols destroyed the Islamic faith while they controlled the Islamic world, but were soon destroyed themselves by the rise of the Ottoman Turks. Mongols captured Baghdad and ended Seljuk Turk rule. Their control fell apart because they could not rule the distant region, allowing the Ottoman Turks to come to power. Page 9
