Question

How had globalization begun long before sixteenth century? Explain.

Answer 1

Globalization began long before the sixteenth century through extensive land and sea networks, Silk Routes and Indian Ocean trade that connected Asia, Europe and Africa; merchants, missionaries and travelers exchanged goods (silk, spices), crops, technologies and ideas, spreading religions and cultural practices across continents and knitting distant societies into interdependent networks from antiquity to early modern times, well before Columbus.
