Pastoral societies had less productive economies and their need for large grazing ares but they were very similar to agricultural communities and civilizations. In pastoral societies people offered women higher status than other communities did at the time.   some origins of pastoral people were the Arabs, Berbers, Turks, and Mongols. The Islam religion came from Pastoral people which was one fo the most dominating religions at the time. we then see the rise of the Mongol empire during the 12th century, Chinggis Khan was one of the first rulers of the Mongols.

In this chapter they talked about the spread of christianity in the world from 500-1300 and it is known as Christendom. We see the spread of Christianity through Asia and Africa. Rome made Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire, after the Roman Empire fell they moved the empire to the east and it became the Byzantine Empire and that lasted over 1000 years. With Christendom we see that it really started spreading from the people in the west who were led by the catholic church I’m Rome and it spread through from there. We also see much conflict between the Roman Catholic Church and between the Byzantine empire which becomes the Eastern Orthodox Church. The crusaded also emerged between the Christians and the Muslims and it went only limited to targets in the Islamic Middle East.
