A good introduction and explanation of what created this empire and what happened to it over time. A word wall and map are needed to get the most from this video. A map is a must as the Empire spread over time.

John Green explores exactly when Rome went from being the Roman Republic to the Roman Empire. Here's a hint: it had something to do with Julius Caesar, but maybe less than you think. Find out how Caesar came to rule the empire, what led to him getting stabbed 23 times on the floor of the senate, and what happened in the scramble for power after his assassination. John covers Rome's transition from city-state to dominant force in the Mediterranean in less than 12 minutes. The senate, the people, Rome, the Cesarean section, the Julian calendar and our old friend Pompey all make appearances, but NOT the Caesar Salad, as Julius had nothing to do with it.(12:26)

This two-minute video explores two of the ancient African Empires. These two empires, Mali and Ghana were great trade cities that
lie on the Niger River, but were destroyed by African Muslims. Mali rose after the downfall of Ghana. It was controlled by a Muslim ruler who made that religion the official state religion. These two empires were known for establishing gold and salt trade routes. This video is best used with a map of the area. Let the video run and several other short ones follow and add depth to the study of Mali and the area. They are about a minute long and well worth viewing.

The negative legacy is exemplified with the situation between India and Pakistan. Also, in Rhodesia, the attack to white farms has affected the population supply of food. The legacy is also seen in England and its diversity which sometimes has brought riots. (09:07)
