  1. AP World History Migrations

  2. Bantu “the people” (sub-Saharan Africa) • Population pressure (over population) • agricultural advancements • climate change (desertification) • Population growth due technology (iron metallurgy) Causes of Migration - bantu

  3. Vikings “Northmen or Norsemen” (Scandinavia) Population pressure due to climate change (food shortage) Love of adventure and desire for treasure Superiority on the seas – shipbuilding techniques and seafaring skills Vikings did not seek new land to settle initially; rather to raid and plunder Causes of Migration- vikings Gokstad ship, Norway

  4. Polynesian/Austronesian (Pacific Islands) Contests for power and influence led to tension – migration offered an alternative to conflict Causes of Migration- polynesian Manunggul Jar, Phillipines

  5. 1500 years from just south of Sahara to southern tip of Africa • Superiority over local adversaries due to technology (iron weapons) • Migrated slowly and established new settlements • Used canoes to follow rivers through Congo rain forests, settled on riverbanks • Then eastward into savannas, adapting herding goats to raising cattle and adding new crops (bananas) Course of Migration - Bantu

  6. Bantu Migration - Maps Bantu Migrations Language Groups of modern Africa – notice Madagascar – why is it Austronesian?

  7. Superiority on the seas – shipbuilding techniques and seafaring skills • Vikings did not seek new land to settle initially; rather to raid and plunder • Viking Age 790-1066 • Initially west to Iceland 874CE, Greenland, N America (Leif Erickson first European on North American soil?) • Norwegians raiding and settling in Western England and Ireland • Swedish to North-South Russian Rivers (all the way to Caspian and Black Seas – eventually to Constantinople) • Raid, pillage, plunder – eventually settle and convert “From the wrath of the Northmen, O Lord, deliver us!” Course of Migration - Vikings

  11. Gradual spread of Bantu languages • Today there over 60 million people who speak Bantu languages • Superior iron technology allowed Bantus to dominate and assimilate indigenous (local) groups • Cultural diffusion through exchange of ideas and intermarriage • Religious beliefs • Technology (agriculture, iron metallurgy) • Social Effects of Migration - Bantu

  12. Destruction of villages and towns and many churches and monasteries (700-800CE) • Breakdown of centralized governments into FEUDALISM • Later, occupying and ruling large parts of France and British Isles (900-1000CE) • Swedes settling in Russia (Rus for ruddy) • Converted to Christianity and get assimilated into European civilization Effects of Migration - Vikings

  14. EFFECTS- POLYNESIAN/AUSTRONESIAN Established agricultural villages in unihabited or lightly inhabited islands Built strong chief-ruled societies Eventually rulers and aristocracy viewed themselves as divine or semidivine Adapted to new environments (ex. Maori)
