Trading Systems Review
Trade and Geography
Some geographic features allow for more trade, particularly waterways like rivers,
lakes and oceans. Other geographic features limit trade. Names 2 geographic
features that limit trade:
-Mountains
-Deserts
-Islands (limited until boats)
-Jungles/ forests
All trading causes Cultural Diffusion, or the exchange of ideas and technologies.
Benefits: New Ways of doing things, goods, belief systems
Negatives: Dangerous, high prices, disease spread
Major Trade routes
Major trade routes of the distant past include the Silk Road, Monsoon Marketplace,
West Saharan trade routes and the Mediterranean sea routes. Later routes include
the Triangle Trade and Columbian Exchange.
Silk Road
The Silk road went from China to the Mediterranean region. The silk road trade
increased during the Pax Mongolia , but led to the Black Death. Fleas on rats and gerbils
caused the population to die.
1:04- 3:55 And 6:28-9:15
Monsoon Marketplace
Though technically still a part of the Silk Road,
the Monsoon Marketplace takes place on the
Indian Ocean. Monsoon winds are predictable
and would push ships towards markets and
home again at predictable times.

Mediterranean Trade
The Ancient Romans dominated trade along the Mediterranean Sea. The Romans
even defeated the Carthaginians to remain the dominate force of trade. Eventually,
the Egyptians and Romans both traded along the Mediterranean Sea.
West Saharan Trade
West Saharan trade connected West Africa to the Mediterranean. Mansa Musa, of
Mali, helped create a powerful trading empire with Timbuktu as a center of learning
and commerce. To trade in the arid desert climate, the traders relied on Camels.

Dark Ages= No Trade
Despite centuries of robust trade along the Mediterranean by the Roman,
Byzantine and other Empires, the Europeans enter a dark age with no trade or
education following the fall of Rome. Cut off from trade, the Europeans resort
to strict religion, feudalism (manors) and decentralized government.
Crusades lead to trade
As the Dark Ages drag on, European devotion to the church remained high. In the
Middle East, the Byzantine Empire began to crumble, and the Arabs seized control
of the Holy City of Jerusalem. Soon, the Pope demanded Catholics head to the Holy
Land and re-capture it for the Christians. Despite holding power for a short while,
the Christians did not gain long term control of Jerusalem. While the goal was not
accomplished, the Christians did bring back
numerous goods that created a demand for trade.
Age of Exploration
Since the crusades had failed to take the middle East, the Europeans could no
longer safely trade through that area. Yet, the demand for goods in Europe was
Indian Markets.
Cape of Good Hope
The contributions of Prince Henry, Bartholomeu Dias and Vasco da Gama
resulted in the first successful round trip to India by ship. This trip was very
successful, quicker, safer and cheaper than land travel. The Cape of Good Hope
is located near South Africa.

Triangle Trade
As more people settled in the Americas and the natives died, a new labor source
was needed. Soon, African men, women and children were being transported
along the Middle Passage to America to be slaves.

Globalization
Improved technology and transportation systems have caused Globalization.
Nearly every part of the world partakes in trade with other nations. This Global
economy relies on the 3rd world nations as labor and markets, and on 1st world
nations for services and education.
Interdependence
Interdependence is the dependence of people on goods, resources and
knowledge from other parts of the world. Interdependence continues
today due to rapid exchange of ideas, goods and services throughout the
world. An example of interdependence is Great Britain importing
American automobiles, Indian tea and oil from the Middle East.
European Union and NAFTA
To help promote world trade, organizations like the EU and NAFTA (North
America Free Trade Agreement) help reduce tariff disputes, border issues and
create easier trade between the members.
OPEC
To safeguard business issues, some industries have
bonded together to be more powerful and gain
benefits. OPEC (Organization of Petroleum Exporting
Countries) has bonded together to set prices for oil.
Together these nations can severely hurt the US and
other nations by reducing or restricting trade.
Canals
Canals are man made waterways that are made to connect two bodies of water.
Typically, these canals result in faster and cheaper trade:
