The period between 1450 and 1750 witnessed a significant increase in transoceanic interconnections, which refers to the exchange of goods, people, and ideas across the Atlantic and Indian Oceans.
The European exploration and colonization of the Americas and the establishment of trade routes with Asia and Africa were the primary drivers of transoceanic interconnections during this period.
The transatlantic slave trade was a significant aspect of transoceanic interconnections, with millions of Africans forcibly transported to the Americas to work on plantations and mines.
The establishment of European colonies in the Americas led to the displacement and genocide of indigenous peoples, while the exploitation of resources and labor in Africa and Asia fueled European economic growth.
Transoceanic interconnections also facilitated the spread of religions, such as Christianity and Islam, and the exchange of cultural practices and artistic styles.
The emergence of global trade networks and the integration of previously isolated regions into the world economy were other significant outcomes of transoceanic interconnections during this period.
