Happy Holidays!
Let's play the historical evidence game. I give you a thesis. You give me an original, historically accurate statement which supports my thesis. 10 points for an original thesis and a bonus 5 points for an intelligent comment on someone else's historical evidence. (Up to 15 bonus points.)
Here's my thesis:
Between 1450 and 1750, the world became more politically, economically and socially globilized.
(Hint: As communication and trading networks develop, interaction between and among cvilizations lead to a new, more global world.)
Have fun!

The Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, starting in the mid-fifteenth century, formed the Triangular Trade between Europe, Africa, and the Americas, thereby creating a more expansive network of social interaction across the globe.

The resources that the Spanish and Portuguese colonists traded in the 15th century, such as silver by the Spanish and Sugar by the Portuguese, were traded over sea to the Old World. This lead to a vast increase in the wealth of Spain and Portugal as well as an overall trade revival between Old World societies.
During the time period between 1450 and 1750 CE, the new world and the old world, were linked and for the first time in world history, long-distance trade became worldwide throughout The Atlantic Ocean.

From 1450 to 1750, new maritime technologies were developed, paving the way for more efficient oceanic travel. As a result, European powers were able to exchange cultural characteristics and goods with unknown lands.
Between 1450 and 1750 the Spanish and Portuguese established colonies in the New World, which enabled extensive legal and illegal trade (including Transatlantic Slave Trade) with not only Europe and Africa, but also among those who participated in trade in the Mediterranean, Middle/Far East, and in the Indian Ocean.
England and France were also included in the New World's colonial power structure.

With new, economic innovations such as joint-stock companies, big time production countries such as Spain started to imitate a periphery system where there is a core and a set of outside minor countries and cities working at making the core awesome. this made the world more globally connected.
With the new periphery system that core countries such as Spain started imitating, the world became more globally connected.
