    Globalization Back Then (EVIDENCE)

    "There were several eras of intense cross-cultural encounters in pre-modern times (pre-1500 C.E.). The first important era to mention here is the time of the Roman and Han empires. This is the era of the ancient silk-road, roughly 200 B.C.E. to 400 C.E."

    Globalization Back Then

    This was the era of the ancient silk-road. The silk-road was a safe trading route for countries around it.Nomadic peoples played an especially prominent role in the economy of the silk roads, since they both consumed the finished products of settled lands and transported them to other customers. So long as the silk roads remained active, they facilitated not only the exchange of trade goods but also the communication of cultural and religious traditions throughout much of the Eastern Hemisphere.

    Globalization in the Medieval Era

    "The Islamic period in the medieval era is an important epoch in the history of globalization." This was when the Jewish and the Muslim traders started going to various parts of the world to sell an ample amount of goods. As more and more people started traveling to other countries across the world, it led to more communication between people and intermingling of languages, religion, and ways of life.

  • Globalization in the Industrial Revolution

    "The Industrial Revolution in the 19th century was one of the major periods in the history of globalization." Due to the Industrial Revolution, there was a significant increase in the quantity and quality of the products. This led to higher exports, better trade, and business relations.

  • Beginning of Globalization

    "The term globalization was apparently first published in a 1962 article in Spectator magazine, but it began to enter everyday English usage after the 1962 publication of Marshall McLuhan’s Gutenberg Galaxy." Globalization became more popular and a more apparent term in the years following 1960, but globalization made an appearance, or at least started, back then in some historic events that are going to be later explained

  • Globalization in the 1900s

    "With the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1989 and the end of the Cold War in 1991, the world became more interconnected." Trade and investment increased, while barriers to migration and to cultural exchange were lowered. Technological advances, including mobile phones and the internet, increased during this time and connected people from all over the world. It also made communication easier and news to other countries traveled faster.
