The Big Five Era 

Humans and Ideas
There were a couple of major cultural developments that shaped the Big Era five, but the driving force behind it was humans and ideas. Anytime you have cultural differences it is because someone has a different idea than someone else. A major one of these ideas throughout the population was a difference in religious thinking. There were a number of different belief systems widespread including Christianity, Buddhism, and Islam. The other cultural development focused on consolidating scientific and technological traditions within complex societies and the new ideas spreading quickly across Afroeurasia.

The Big Five Era was started around 300 to 400 CE and the ancient world of Afroeurasia and its large political units came to an end. The next twelve hundred years of the Big Five Era brought lots of modern inventions and cultural changes into being. The population of the time was four million people globally thought to be linked to innovations in agriculture as well as more people from Europe to Japan being given land that they could use to grow sustenance. The larger empires of South America, West Africa and Mesoamerica came into being. Between 1000 and 1500 CE there was the emergence of the Indian Ocean focuses on long-distance commerce in Afroeurasia, and there was a universal message of comfort in allowing the religions to agree to disagree.

The Environment, War, and Black Death

The environment during the Big Five Era was changing rapidly and brought on drier conditions and declined the productivity of the farmers. Another issue this caused was plague and disease. The Black Death spread quickly through Afroeurasia taking out a considerable large percent of the population. War became a widespread mission with the fall of the Western Roman Empire and the rise of the Gupta Empire in India. In Europe the early Russian empire rose to power and the Aztec and Incan empires grew in America. War also reached new levels of violence with the use of the crossbow, and catapult among other new weapons. Despite the war economic growth was still steady from 700 to 1500. Commerce by sea was the most popular way for merchants to trade. The Big Five Area brought a lot of cultural advances and events that shaped the history of the world.
