+Documents 3 and 4
+-----------------
+
+Document 3:
+Violent rebellion and infighting is common in Mughal Empire.
+Militancy is expected and necessary for preservation of the throne.
+
+Document 4:
+Russian emperor realizes nepotistic promotion in the ranks of the army.
+Only commoners can rise through the ranks (not nobles because they would
+poorly manage the army).
+
+    Topic Sentence:
+Land-based empires used strong militaries to maintain control over
+their lands.
+
+    Doc 3 Desc/Support:
+Document 3 highlights the belief in the necessity of good combat skill
+by the Mughal emperor because he fears others contending for his throne
+or external enemies. These fears are justified because military action
+was often necessary for external threats and the ruler's defense.
+
+    Doc 4 Desc/Support:
+Document 4 notes efforts by the government to protect its people's
+stability, those being reduced trade barriers enforced by a military
+with loyal, effective soldiers and management. This need for a strong
+military is clear in its role as an institution for the propagation of
+the Russian people.

+Doc 1:
+Christopher Columbus colonized parts of North America. (early)
+He is starting in at missionary means (Christian conversion)
+And intends to make servants of them
+Notes advanced technology past the natives (iron, swords => superiority)
+
+Doc 2:
+Indian Ocean, not Atlantic.
+Removed money from Venice and moved to Portugal (major colonizer of Am.)
+Portugal developing sea routes in this area allowed them to develop
+    sea routes in other areas more easily.
+``War is sustained?''
+Silk Road stopping.
+
+Doc 3:
+Slave trade deeply affected Africa.
+Lost of social change, and death along cargo trade.
+Reduced African bargaining power because they took
+    lots of European goods.
+
+Doc 4:
+Colonies began to make deals with Indians.
+Fur trade, gun trade, (slave?) allowed colonies to provide food.
+Often the trade obtained from Indians bruoght further wealth overseas.
+
+Doc 5:
+Spanish Latin America had strict caste system based on racial purity.
+Spaniards, natives, black slaves intermixed, which changed culture, but
+    also developed racial hierarchy => economic structure.
+These hierarchies were somewhat common throughout colonies at the time.
+
+    Thesis:
+Trade across the Atlantic Ocean greatly increased colonial nations'
+wealth at the expense of large slave and servant systems created by
+colonizers within colonies [fed by African AND native], alongside trade
+with native groups for local wealth in colonies, meaning intermixing
+and slight cultural change.

+Groups:
+- Trade with natives

+- Servant/Slavery
+    Doc 3, 1, 4?
+- Economic Effect on Colonial Nations
+    Doc 1, 2

+Body Paragraph 1 (Trade with natives)
+    Topic Sentence
+Trade in the Atlantic region brought wealth back to the European nations
+because colonists developed trade relations with natives for support.
+    Doc 4 Desc
+Document 4 shows colonies needing to deal with Native American support,
+goods, and information for survival.
+    Doc 4 Support
+This impacted relations in the Atlantic region between natives and
+colonists by allowing future profitable trade (like furs) or sustenance
+of existing colonies.
+    Doc 5 Desc
+Document 5 shows how this kind of relation can lead into social
+integration of natives into colonist culture and how that integration
+develpos hierarchy and social structure.
+    Doc 5 Support
+This affects organized society because native servants and their (often
+mixed) children contributed to culture in the region and power
+accumulation in colonial nations.
