This is the last of 3 parts, examining the world outside Europe c1600, prior to the full onslaught of European colonialism.
According to Google AI:
"In the year 1600, the Americas were home to established Indigenous civilizations and emerging European colonies, while Australia was solely inhabited by its Indigenous peoples, with the first documented European contact occurring shortly after, in 1606."
***Rather than a presentation or lecture, the idea will be for attendees to do their own prior research which they can then contribute with at the event. You are also welcome to attend of course without researching or having anything to share.***
