3rd Task

The class moves forward. World History. It is keeping me busy. Today I completed the third of five tasks. I have done well on the first two and am hoping this one also goes well. I won't know the results for a day or two. Tomorrow I will move on to the fourth task which involves my favorite period in history as we look at the revolutionary war through the industrial revolution. This is an exciting period of growth and development. I did enjoy the last section where we looked at Europe and it's founding following the fall of the Roman Empire, we looked at Islam and how it was founded and turned into a couple different dynasties. I was unawares of the positive approach of the Abbasid dynasty that promoted growth and creativity with advancements in medicine and mathematics. It really was fascinating. The Silk Road was also on topic today where I focussed on the spread of disease through the roads travelers specifically the Black Death. These were certainly interesting times in the history of the world.  Well, exciting stuff. Looking forward to wrapping up the class by the end of the month then pushing forward for more classes.
