Madison Halls November 14, 2013 Period 2 Networks of Communication and Change Grand Thesis: Altogether, most of Asia and Europe thrived in trade and spread of religion. A. The Silk Road: The Silk Road helped to cause much trade, and the spread of religion and diseases. Origins and Operations: The Silk Road helped the trading of many new imports to China and the Mediterranean. The Silk Road was an overland route that linked China to the Mediterranean world via Mesopotamia, Iran, and Central Asia. The origins of the Silk Road trade may be located in the occasional trading of Central Asian nomads. In addition to horses, China imported alfalfa, grapes, and a variety of other newcrops as well as medicinal products, metals, and precious stones.

Economic history of Africa

East Africa and the Indian Ocean Basin The trading patterns of East Africa in the Indian Ocean basin have undergone many changes between 1450-1750 that have shaped not only the communities in East Africa economically, but also culturally. Through the growing interactions with societies outside of Africa, these communities were able to evolve from relying on simplistic methods of trade to more complex methods that allowed for an increased exchange of cultures and religions. Overall, these changes are marked by a dramatic alteration concerning the structure of society, while the general dependence on trade remained an integral aspect of East African society.
