  1. PERSIA: SOCIAL Social structure in South Asia, Latin America, Sub-Saharan Africa, East Asia, Western Europe, and the Middle East

  2. South Asia • Society’s infrastructure was the Hindu Caste System. • Under this rigid caste system, there was no room for social mobility or intermarriage between castes. • Under the Mughal Empire, much of India was a militaristic society separated by religion. http://www.southasians.info/southasia/southasia-map.php

  3. Latin America • The arrival of Europeans brought a racial hierarchy to Latin America. • Frequent intermarriage caused cultural diffusion between Europeans and natives. (mestizos, zambos, mulattoes, peninsulares, creoles) • Engenhos were plantations that were made of a group of buildings all related to the production of sugar. http://www.welthungerhilfe.de/latinamerica.html
