2 non european civilizations that met and developed between 500 and 1500s
1) The Mongol Empire and the Song Dynasty: During the 13th century, the Mongol Empire, led by Genghis Khan and later his descendants, expanded its reach across Asia, including China. The Mongols conquered the Jin Dynasty in northern China and established the Yuan Dynasty, becoming the rulers of China from 1271 to 1368. This brought the Mongols, a Central Asian nomadic civilization, into contact with the advanced and culturally rich civilization of the Song Dynasty. This meeting led to the exchange of ideas, technologies, and cultural traditions between the two civilizations.
2) The Inca Empire and the Aztec Empire: In the 15th century, the Inca Empire, located in the Andean region of South America, and the Aztec Empire, based in Mesoamerica (present-day Mexico), developed and thrived independently. However, during the late 15th and early 16th centuries, the two civilizations encountered each other through trade networks and expeditions. This meeting provided an opportunity for the exchange of goods, resources, and knowledge, as well as cultural and religious beliefs, between the two empires.
