Without a consistent form of communication, trade, during the Middle Ages, was the biggest catalyst for the spread of religious reform, political organization, and societal development across Europe. How was the spread of these elements through trade important in the development of a more advanced, and modern society during this time period? The advancement of the Frankish Kingdom combined with the progress of the Mongols through Asia provided the proper situation to cultivate advancement in the Eastern World. Charlemagne came to power, and immediately it was clear that he was determined to make religious changes in Europe. He defeated the Pagan Saxons after a long brutal conflict with them, annexing all of Germany into his kingdom.
During this period, new societies were being shaped and formed in many different places in the world. Globalization changed societies and influenced them. Globalization is defined as when countries develop international influence. This definition represents the process of the development of the countries empires and way they were developmentally influenced by others around them.
This allowed for more products to be developed and

Cultures come together as goods and ideas are exchanged, resulting in diverse traditions, beliefs, and practices. For example, trade routes in the Middle East during the Post-classical era spread all throughout Asia and Africa, and even through sea routes using the Indian Ocean. (Document 1). The development of new economic systems helped connect people from various cultures and backgrounds as well. Trade grew the global market that crossed borders.
That is how an increase in mechanical advances made industries more productive and sped up
The defining factor of the Post-Classical era was more transregional interactions, specifically in the form of trading. Trading allowed many different regions of the world exchange their ideas and beliefs, and led to the general advancement of humanity as a whole. Specifically, two major regions involved in trade were East and South Asia. I argue that transregional trade between East Asia and South Asia in the Post-Classical era had extensive trade networks promoting trade and diffusion of ideas and disease stay a continuity. However, trade in this era changed in the way it was conducted, and the types of items that were traded.
Technology Many innovations led to the growing industry
This tangle of trade routes and connections between these empires and people is what began the evolution of cultural diffusion into something that we still experience today. It is an ongoing exchange across countries, lands and
The traumatic event of influenza in America from 1918-1920 decimated entire communities. The death toll of Americans citizens was about half a million people. The exact origin of the flu is unknown. There is evidence that the flu originated in Asia and or the United States of America. Even though the exact origin of the flu is unknown the deadly consequences still impact the science and politics of the United States of America.
How was the world interconnected in the early modern period, according to the introduction by Pomeranz & Topik? In what ways did the non-Western “peripheries” still have influence in their economic roles? The world was interconnected in the early modern period by trade. Many different countries traded goods with each other, and adapted different cultures and traditions.
Around the 1700s and the 1800s the Islamic, Indianan, Japanese and Chinese civilizations were on a similar path as Europe. However, they started diverging. The Great Divergence is a term used to explain the process in which Europe (the West) dominated other civilizations and emerged as the most innovative and wealthiest civilization. Specifically in this essay, the Great Divergence refers to the difference between Europe and China. This essay will argue that technological invention/innovation is not the only factor that explains the Great Divergence between these two countries.
Introduction Nowadays people can communicate easily. They can share their ideas, their cultures even with people who are not in their countries. They can trade, transporting products around the world in just a few days. This is a big economy where everything related to each other. This is globalization.
When it comes to comparing the past with the present, the idea of globalisation is deliberated quite often. The twentieth century coined the term ‘globalisation’ as international organisations were introduced, aiming to reduce trade barriers and maintaining healthy global trade relations. On the other hand, the twenty-first century induced a fear of globalisation as companies were outsourcing their production allowing certain societies to continue development while others remained constant. In June 2016, Brexit (Britain’s exit) took place because the majority of the United Kingdom (UK) voted to leave the European Union (EU). This event exhibits people disrupting the political mandate by voting against cultural and economic globalization.
2. Main causes and drivers of globalization The treaty of Westphalia in 1648, has been known to be the beginning of the system of sovereign states. Unlike the previous treaties, the treaty of Westphalia drew up a list of core principles, which re-defined the conception of the state; territories were defined, and the lands uninfringeable. Supremacy of the nation-state became accepted as the norm and hence allowed growth of international relations (Pant, 2011).
