•    Discuss the changes and continuities in the Silk Road trading network from 600 BCE – 1450

If there was ever an important period historians, and people could put a finger on, this would be it. This is the important period where the world’s countries, kingdoms, and dynasties established trade routes. This is the period where countries were made and countries were destroyed because of the importance of trade and the importance of building a fundamental, religious, and economical way of life. This paper will discuss the goals and functions of trades, and traders, and a historical analysis of world trade. This paper will also get into world trade patterns, of The Americas, Sub-Saharan Africa, The Indian Ocean, The Silk routes, China and The South China Sea, Europe and The Mediterranean, and The Atlantic Exploration.

The Indian Ocean Trade Network, as well as the silk road had aided in cultural diffusion, and the transmission of ideas, however these routes were different in the way in which they were traversed and what ideas were specifically transmitted. The Indian Ocean Trade route

The trading routes, created by the desire from both the New and Old World for exotic foods and animals,

Trade was also a significant motivation for Europeans to “colonize territories across the seas”. Trade was one of the most effective ways to improve the economy for the Europeans, and a significant way

Trade: It is a widespread fact that international trade has increased to unprecedented levels as compared to the nineteenth century. However, it was an era of rapid trade growth, cultural ties and aftermath of Age of Exploration. After the post-World War period, an extensive

The trade industry expanded as new products came in from the “Old World”. Events such as the Columbian Exchange revolutionized the trade market in the New World. Gettysburg’s article, “The Columbian Exchange” states that, “Exchanges of plants, animals, diseases and technology transformed European and Native American ways of life. The Columbian Exchange impacted the social and cultural makeup on both sides of the Atlantic. Advancements in Agricultural production, evolution of warfare, increased mortality rates and education” (Gettysburg.edu).

The movement of goods, people, and wealth in the late 17th and 18th centuries permanently changed societies across the continents of Europe, Africa, and North and South America, thereby increasing the reach of globalization in the modern age. Most influential to this movement was what is sometimes referred to as “The Atlantic Circuit”, a triangle of trade between Western Europe, western Africa, and the West Indies. Out of this circuit came the rapid growth of the Atlantic slave trade, which not only established multiple industries of agriculture, but significantly changed the economies of all countries involved. The

Trade networks in Africa from 1000-1750 CE changed, such as the increase of the slave trade, yet continued to have some of the same characteristics, such as the exports.

In conclusion, the topic of free trade is difficult to debate and often controversial as it has advantages but also disadvantages. Nonetheless, the drawbacks outweigh the benefits as it one, contravenes basic moral ideologies, two, makes the rich, richer, and the poor, poorer, and three, jeopardizes our declining environment. All in all, free trade will neither support nor sustain our country to be ethical, prosperous or

Trade makes Everyone Better – by trading with one another we can all win or come out for the better. That’s because, not everyone can make something as good or at the same cost as someone else, for the simple reason that we do not have access to the same amount resources or skills to produce something. (Mankiw, 2013) A town in the mountains would have a difficult time suppling the same amount or quality of fish that a town located on a lake or the coast of an ocean. Yet the same town has access to a better supply of granite from its quarries or lumber from its forests than the town better equipped for fishing.

Trade is generally known as the buying and selling of goods from one person to another, “international trade would involve at minimum two countries and can go up to however many want to participate in the trade”1 and have something to offer that the there corresponding countries are willing to accept. Trade involves a lot of protection backed by the governments of the countries trading; hence, there are a number of common arguments in favor of protection. These may help certain groups within a country, or even may help a nation achieve some overall goal entirely. When it comes to trade there are numerous arguments put forward, some of which I will be discussing in this paper such as government

This article shows that international trade can have practical limitations. The textbook explains that one of these limitations is the fact that while two countries can both benefit by trading with each other, excessive trade can harm people and businesses. Also, by raising tariffs and discouraging trade, African countries are both impeding economic growth and lowering the standard of living.
