Answer:

The search of new markets and the colonization of lands

Step-by-step explanation:

Of course, there are several other things to consider, but I think that the major role made by capitalism is this. Emerging in the 16th century, capitalism shaped the western economy when the European countries began to search for new territories and applied several rules to maintain and support their markets, such as goods exploration, the search of gold and silver, the development of cities, and send to the Mother Country all the explored goods.
