Trade between India and Europe had begun long before the rise of the Roman Empire, but it extended during the first century when sailors figured out patterns of monsoon winds. Commerce between the Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean was widespread and often lucrative. It resulted in the organization of quite a few small trading settlements along the Indian coast. Rome imported ivory, indigo, textiles, precious stones, and pepper from India and silk from China. The Romans occasionally paid cash for these items but also exported silver, wine, perfume, slaves, and glass and cloth from Egypt.
The Silk Road and the Saharan Caravan trade routes had many differences and similarities in their development and the impact on the civilizations they made. They were comparable and diverse in many areas of society such as: the development of the empire and how it all began, architecture and writing that was developed, and the spread of religion throughout the region between 300 BCE – 600 CE. The Silk Road developed between 300 BCE and 600 CE. This is because of HOW the Silk Road began and started to develop quickly throughout the world. The major step towards development of the Silk Road was because of the Chinese Emperor Wu Di.
During the late 1800s and early 1900s, European imperialism radically changed the boundaries inside the continents of Africa and Asia incorporating them into their developing colonial empire. This was the same scenario for British imperialism in India. Over time, the colony and colonizer’s opinion on imperialism evolves, as both experience the downside and upside of colonialism. Britain, mother country of India, had benefitted very much from their colony and dramatically improved the quality of life in India. (doc1) (doc4) Through India, Britain was able to obtain tropical produce for their citizens.
Gold and silver were transported to India where merchants transported crops from India to the East African Coast. But, the Columbian Exchange brought new crops and more silver to the Indian Ocean region which provided new types of resources and goods for trade. A change would have been the increased involvement of European traders because they began to colonize and have economic ambitions. For example, Europeans began to open their own trade ports throughout the Indian Ocean region. The Opium trade with China profited the British by having the Opium produced in India and transporting it to China for trade.
I would have some difficulty ordering the parts possibly which could delay the repair but it would eventually get fixed and possibly much cheaper than calling a repair man. Conclusion: Using the creative process enabled me to isolate the problem and develop two possible solutions. After discussing the solutions with my wife we agreed that calling a repair man was the best decision because time is more important than the possibility of saving a few dollars. By using the creative process I have opened my mind to numerous ideas and developed two viable solutions. If I did not used the creative process, I may have overlooked the obvious problem and just replaced the refridgerator which would cost me lots of money.
Britain’s strategic motives in Africa centred on thwarting the growth of rival European powers as well as securing its interests in Africa. However there was a clear symbiotic relationship between strategic and economic concerns, during the expansion period. One of the first incidents in Africa where this was made manifest was when Britain invaded Egypt in 1882. The Suez Canal was of major strategic importance as it allowed ships to access the empires ‘Jewel in the crown’ India faster, through the red sea instead on going around Africa, as well as faster transportation of Arab oil. The canal was also of economic significance as historian Simon Smith reminds us that ‘80% of the Suez traffic was British, and13% of Britain’s trade passed through the canal’ , this is due to most of Britain’s trade with India passing through the Suez.
The Trans-Atlantic trading system mainly took silver from deposits in Potosí, Bolivia, thus, creating a connection to the old and new world. By trading silver with Chinese, who only accepted silver from the Americas, it created a high demand for silver, allowing an increase in global economy. Resulting in the middle passage, the Trans-Atlantic had a gigantic involvement with slaves, who kept up sugar plantations, thus, connecting West Africa to the Caribbean and America to Western Europe. In contrast to the Trans-Atlantic, the Indian Ocean trade connected East to West Africa and Europe to Africa. Goods traded along the system included silk and porcelain from China, spices from SE Asia and peppers, pearls, and cotton from India.
CCOT Essay Islam was started in 600 AD and has left a lasting impact on South Asia, during the time period of 1000 to 1750 C.E. The impact of Islam on South Asia created continuities because of economics, but more changes because of the cultural and political aspects. Islam impacted South Asia greatly with its economic continuities between the time periods of 1000 to 1750. In 1000, South Asia was a huge center of trade, exporting cotton, sugar cane, and spices, all in high demand. This occurred because of its geographical location, pitted in between Europe and Asia, who both had large economies based on trade.
These different empires that were being built at the time created fluctuations in trade. The Silk Road changed from being on a small scale to expanding throughout Eurasia; then little interaction occurring between Asia and Europe. More trade in the Ming Dynasty followed after and then the Indian Ocean Trade becoming an alternative way of trade to the Silk Road. During these changes, there were also continuities that always happened no matter how much the Silk Road had changed. The change in trade patterns was caused by the strength of the different empires along the Silk Road.
Rationing the supply of health care services Plan: Upsides of not paying for the NHS | Upsides of paying for the NHS | Assessable for everyone | Low demand | Equal quality | Lower cost for government | Guaranteed treatment | Lower waiting list | Some treatments are too expensive | The NHS is ‘free at the point of use for consumers’ so health care is available to everyone and not just those who can afford it. This is good for the economy as it prevents poorer people from not being able to work as they can get the health care. It also allows people to have a better variety of health care than they would usually be able to afford such as children having free dental care. It also means more immediate health care as doctors don’t need to check for a certain type of insurance before treating a patient. The problem with everyone being able to use the NHS means that it is in high demand.
