how do you think the world had changed up until that point? (pre-1914) As a starting point, let’s look back at the emergence of trade, mercantilism, and the Columbian Exchange. How did those forces drive change that ultimately led where we ended with imperialism and nationalism in pre-1914?

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

The world had changed dramatically by 1914. The Columbian Exchange and the Industrial Revolution were two major forces that changed the world.

The Columbian Exchange was a period of time from 1492 until 1815 when Europeans and Native Americans traded with each other. This exchange included things like diseases and crops, which altered the way people lived their lives. It also led to an increase in global trade.

The Industrial Revolution began in England in the late 1700s and spread throughout Europe and North America during the 1800s. This revolution made it possible for countries like England to produce more goods than they could sell locally, so they started selling them around the world instead. The Industrial Revolution also led to increased urbanization as people moved to cities where they could find jobs working in factories or on farms owned by wealthy landowners who had become rich thanks to industrialization.
