chapter 13

Some of the empires of Europe included Portugal, Spain, Britain, and France. At the time the asian powers sailed the Indian oceans for trade and other things but when the European nations discovered how to read wind patterns and master there ship designs they were able to open up so many doors with trading throughout the different European regions. During the time of columbian colonialzation there were other things that affected the lives of native Americans and even the colonizers. The little ice age included with the spread of disease caused for mass population drop within the Americas and slowed the process of settlers coming because they heard of this news. when the colonial societies came to the americas they created a whole new society based of the dying off the the Native American people and they made a new way of life for everyone involved. the Russian empire also began to grow in size when they took over the southern and easter part of Russia who was at the time inhabited by nomadic people.

Goods weren’t just staying local within he countries but it was dividing out everywhere allowing for new opportunities to come in, similar to the silk roads. Money was also mobile as foreign direct investment one country opens a factory in another for better efficiency in making products and delivering them, the short-term movement of capitol onvestors annually spent trillions of dollars buying foreign currencies and sold them quickly afte,  person credit cards began to be used also .
