a) Identify ONE specific historical example of a cultural exchange between nomads and non-nomads that occurred in the period before 1450. b) For the period 1450–1750 C.E., identify ONE development that changed the role that Central Asian nomads played in cross-regional exchanges as described in the passage. c) Explain ONE cross-cultural exchange that would challenge the assertion in the last sentence of the passage concerning the nomads’ role in cross-regional exchanges before 1450. "Inner [and Central] Asia have long been seen as a zone of contact and transmission, a lengthyconveyor belt on which commercial and cultural wares traveled between the major civilizations ofEurasia. The nomads had an essential but largely unacknowledged role in this cultural traffic.While nomadic empires had as their primary objective the control and exploitation of sedentarysubjects, their secondary effect was the creation of numerous opportunities for cross-culturalcontact, comparison, and exchange.Indeed, although nomads are normally included in the analysis of the political context of trans-Eurasian exchange, they are typically left out of the cultural equation. Here the great sedentarycivilizations are placed at center stage, particularly when scientific and cultural transfers are underconsideration. But, as we have seen, pastoral nomads were the chief initiators, promoters, andagents of this exchange between East and West [in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries]."Thomas Allsen, historian, Culture and Conquest, 2001, Reprinted with the permission of CambridgeUniversity Press.
