1450-1750
Before the Columbian voyages, there was no
interaction between the eastern and western
hemispheres. The world in 1450 was still “divided”
into two discrete zones of interaction and, in the
eastern hemisphere, Asian and African trade routes
and empires were most significant. The western
Europeans’ entrance into major oceanic
explorations (in order to find sea routes around
Africa and therefore access to African and Asian
markets), therefore, changed the dynamics of trade
and cross-cultural interactions from hemispheric to
global ones.
