Trace The History of Globalization and Point Out The Shifts Within The Process

Globalization has a long history dating back to ancient times when travelers, traders, priests and pilgrims travelled vast distances along routes like the Silk Road, exchanging goods and spreading culture. Key shifts included the 15th century European conquest and colonization of America, which introduced new crops and redirected global trade towards Europe. Disease carried by Europeans also devastated indigenous populations. By the 18th century, Europe had emerged as the dominant global economic power, marking a shift from other historical centers like China and India. Modern globalization since the late 20th century is characterized by increased cross-border trade, investment, technology sharing, and flows of people and information.

Silk Routes Link the World
SILK ROUTES ARE A GOOD EXAMPLE OF VIBRANT PRE-
MODERN TRADE AND CULTURAL LINKS BETWEEN DISTANT
PARTS OF THE WORLD. SEVERAL SILK ROUTES HAVE BEEN
IDENTIFIED BY HISTORIANS, OVERLAND AND SEA,
CONNECTING VAST REGIONS OF ASIA AND LINKING ASIA
WITH EUROPE AND NORTHERN AFRICA. IN EXCHANGE FOR
TEXTILES AND SPECIES FROM INDIA, PRECIOUS METALS –
GOLD AND SILVER – FLOWED FROM EUROPE TO ASIA.
Food Travels: Spaghetti
and Potato
FOOD OFFERS MANY EXAMPLES OF LONG-DISTANCE CULTURAL
EXCHANGE. NEW CROPS WERE INTRODUCED BY TRADERS AND
TRAVELLERS. READY FOODSTUFF SUCH AS NOODLES TRAVELLED
WEST FROM CHINA TO BECOME SPAGHETTI. OUR ANCESTORS
WERE NOT FAMILIAR WITH COMMON FOODS SUCH AS
POTATOES, SOYA, GROUNDNUTS, MAIZE, TOMATOES, CHILLIES,
SWEET POTATOES, AND SO ON ABOUT FIVE CENTURIES AGO.
MANY OF OUR COMMON FOODS CAME FROM AMERICA’S
ORIGINAL INHABITANTS – THE AMERICAN INDIANS.
Conquest, Disease and Trade

The Indian Ocean, for centuries before, had known a bustling trade, with goods, people,
knowledge, customs, etc., crisscrossing its waters. The entry of Europeans helped redirect
these flows towards Europe. America’s vast lands and abundant crops and minerals began to
transform trade and live everywhere. The Portuguese and Spanish conquest and colonisation
of America were decisively underway by the mid-sixteenth century.Europeans’ most powerful
weapon was not a conventional military weapon, but germs such as those of smallpox that
they carried on their person. It proved to be a deadly killer. Until the nineteenth century,
poverty and hunger were common in Europe. Until well into the eighteenth century, China
and India were among the world’s richest countries. However, from the fifteenth century,
China is said to have restricted overseas contacts and retreated into isolation. Europe now
emerged as the centre of world trade.
Conclusion

Globalization is the word used to describe the growing


interdependence of the world's economies, cultures, and
populations, brought about by cross-border trade in goods and
services, technology, and flows of investment, people, and
information.Globalisation has had a huge impact on India. Due to
globalisation, there is a growth in foreign investment in the
corporate, scientific and retail sectors. In addition, globalisation
has had a tremendous effect on the monetary, social, political and
cultural areas.
