Although Afro-Eurasian trade routes continuously were the method of transit for many luxury goods and religions; the importance of these routes, the people that controlled them, and the diseases and ideas that were spread across these routes changed tremendously throughout the period from 300 CE to 1450 CE.
In 1492 Columbus sailed to find a new route to Asia because the silk road became too dangerous to use because of the downfall of the Mongols. In order to keep up with Asia they began to sail to other places such as Europe to gain more products. The products they gained were squash, and beans. This gave them a stabler economy. They began trading in the Columbian Exchange which was between the Caribbean, Western Europe, and Africa. Similarly when Sumaria started to trade with others their technology became better and they developed quicker than when they were
When examining the change and continuity of commerce in Latin America during the time period, 1450-present, some things changed and some things stayed the same. One thing that changed was the previous, trade which was limited to llamas and was therefore more regional. This changed due to the introduction of cattle due to the Colombian Exchange. One thing that continued for the most part was the items used for trading because of the natural resources in Latin America such as silver and various crops that were part of the culture and minimally changed. One thing that changed was the large variety of ethnicities and races that arrived in Latin America because of new economic opportunities situated in the area such as a mercantile job.

In the 1700’s the colonists began to want to have more freedom.This is mostly because they wanted to have significantly less taxation.

The Americas began trade with Afro-Eurasia because of Columbus’ “discovery.” This so-called discovery was made in order to change with India. Things such as objects, ideas, and even diseases were traded in a way. When those from parts of Asia came to Europe, the Black Plague was spread, killing Europe’s
Although the economy of the Americas relied heavily on mining there was also a large emphasis on agricultural development and manufacturing in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. However, the development of agricultural during these two centuries led to further economic turmoil within the Americas. The agricultural system was changed from the traditional Indian subsistence agriculture to commercial crops and plantations. This change in agriculture led to the formation of ‘latifundios’ and ‘minifundios’ which were not as self-sufficient as the traditional Indian subsistence farming. The sugar boom meant that the agricultural system in place led to a loss of Indian land and water rights. Venezuela became the centre of the Americas agricultural economy, due to its success of farming cacao in the central valleys and also due to its livestock. However, the success of its livestock meant that large and intrusive ‘estancias’ or ranches were constructed. This was especially true in the Pampas region of South America, which brought in development of a previously undeveloped and unspoilt region.

The Portugese became the leaders in world trade once they set up trading posts around the Indian Ocean and Spain quickly followed by sending Hernan Cortes to successfully conquer the people of the Caribbean thanks to a smallpox epidemic since the inhabitants were not immune to common European diseases, this conquest along with others led to the Columbian exchange where food items of the Americas were able to travel to the people of the Eastern Hemisphere.
In order for Latin America, or any population to export/trade, there needs to be a demand for the product and enough of the products to maintain a substantial flow of income. Europe was industrializing at this time and needed resources from Latin American countries. Southern Honduras produced mass amounts of cotton which induced flourishing export markets.
