Step-by-step explanation:
The history of the world sees one of its most drastic changes as the Europeans take to the seas and spread out around the world. There is waaay more to this than ‘Columbus sailed the ocean blue in fourteen hundred ninety-two’. This half of the Early Modern period (1450-1750) focuses on the causes, implications, and outcomes of Europeans arriving in the Americas, Africas, and Asia. Good thing you just mastered the Land Empires in the last unit, because the Europeans are about to start knocking on their doors… These are the Transoceanic Interactions of the Early Modern Period.
These new scientific discoveries and navigation undoubtedly opened up new trade networks across the Atlantic and Pacific, which also led to mass migrations of people (forced and voluntary).
The movement of goods and people had regional consequences. For example, gunpowder developed by the Chinese changed the method of conquest and made its way through South Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. Gunpowder would have violent consequences in the decades to come.
Muslim merchants continued to travel on trade routes, as they had done in the past centuries. During this time, Muslim merchants established themselves further in North Africa and the Indian Ocean, which is why Islam is a dominant religion in those regions.
Finally, Europeans built massive military strength because of trade profits and access to new weapons. Before 1450, Europeans did not play a prominent role on the global stage, but after 1450, Europeans were the main puppeteers of the global economy
