Arabia, AD 570 Name Class Date The Islamic World History and Geography Arabia, AD 570 The Arabian Peninsula is located near the intersection of Africa, Asia, and Europe. This made it well suited for trade between all three continents. By AD 570, traders were using both land and sea routes to carry goods between all three continents.

  • 4. Trade Structure
    TRADE STRUCTURE 4. TRADE STRUCTURE 4.1 Changing Nature of Global Container Trade Container shipping routes can be divided into three main groups: (1) East-West trades, which circle the globe in the Northern Hemisphere linking the major industrial centres of North America, Western Europe and Asia; (2) North-South trades articulating around major production and consumption centres of Europe, Asia and North America, and linking these centres with developing countries in the Southern Hemisphere; and (3) intraregional trades operating in shorter hauls and with smaller ships. North–south routes are Figure 4-1 shows study estimates of the container trade volumes (full export/import containers only) in 2002 and 2015 of each of trade groups. Container trade volumes on the East-West routes will increase from 34 million TEU in 2002 to 70 million TEU in 2015 representing 5.8 per cent of annual average growth rate. The study forecasts suggest that the intraregional trades will show solid growth from 28 million TEU to 72 million TEU with a compound average growth rate of 7.5 per cent per annum over the same period. The North-South trade is also expected to grow at a rate of 6.2 per cent per annum on average, exceeding the growth rate of the East-West trade.

  • Trading Centers in the 1000S-1100S the Population Began to Grow
    Trading Centers In the 1000s-1100s the population began to grow. Farmers were growing more food. The number of foreign invaders had declined. A retreat in polar ice had caused good weather. Many peasants left the fields to work in the village. They began to produce products. Nobles began to trade western products for luxury goods from the east. Sugar, spices, silk, and dyes. Trading centers developed on sea routes. The sea routes connected western Europe with the Mediterranean, Russia, and Scandinavia. Two of the earliest and most important trading centers were Venice and Flanders. Venice Venice was an island port in the Mediterranean Sea. It was near the coast of Italy. It was founded in the 500s, by people fleeing from Germans. They traded salted fish for wheat from Italy. They traded with the Byzantines. They exported wheat, wine, and slaves. They traded for fabrics and spices. In the 1100s, Venice became a leading port. Many Venetians became merchants. They learned to read and write. They learned to use money and keep records. Eventually they had a banking system. Italian towns began to make cloth. They sent the cloth to Venice to be shipped. Other Italian towns became shipping centers. The Italian navy removed the Muslims from the Mediterranean Sea. The Near East was open to Europe. Italian trading towns argued about money and trade routes. European Atlantic coast towns soon developed trade routes. By 1530, they were more powerful than Italian towns. Flanders Was an area in modern Belgium of small towns. The Flemish raised sheep. They used the wool to weave cloth.

  • PDF Evolution and Development of the Trade Route in Ladakh
    RESEARCH ASSOCIATION for R AA I SS INTERDISCIPLINARY JUNE 2020 STUDIES DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.3909993 Evolution and Development of the Trade Route in Ladakh: A Case-Study of Rock Carvings Dr. Khushboo Chaturvedi, Mr. Varun Sahai Assistant Professor, Amity University, India, [email protected] Assistant Professor, Amity University, India, [email protected] ABSTRACT: From the beginning of human history trade has been major source of growth of civilization and material culture. Economy was the main crux which caused Diasporas what disseminated cultures and religions on our planet. The Silk Road was one of the first trade routes to join the Eastern and the Western worlds. Ladakh also underwent the same process of evolution of trade although it was a difficult terrain but it provides access to travelers from central Asia and Tibet through its passes. Ladakh was a crossroads of many complexes of routes, providing choices for different sectors connecting Amritsar to Yarkand. Again, from Leh to Yarkand, there were several possible routes all converging at the Karakoram Pass. Comparative small human settlements in oases of Ladakh’s desert rendered hospitality to the travelers being situated as halting station on traditional routes. Indeed, such places (halts) were natural beneficiaries of generating some sort of revenues from travelers against the essential services provided to caravans and groups of traders and travelers. Main halts on these routes are well marked with petro-glyphs right from Kashmir to Yarkand and at major stations with huge rock carving of Buddhist deities. Petro-glyphs, rock carvings, inscriptions and monasteries, mani-walls and stupas found along the trekking routes, linking one place to other, are a clear indication that the routes were in-vogue used by caravan traders; these establishments were used as landmarks or guidepost for travelers.

    Trade and Political Fragmentation on the Silk Roads: The Economic Effects of Historical Exchange between China and the Muslim East Lisa Blaydes, Christopher Paik Working Paper # 0033 December 2019 Division of Social Science Working Paper Series New York University Abu Dhabi, Saadiyat Island P.O Box 129188, Abu Dhabi, UAE http://nyuad.nyu.edu/en/academics/academic-divisions/social-science.html Trade and Political Fragmentation on the Silk Roads: The Economic Effects of Historical Exchange between China and the Muslim East Lisa Blaydes∗ Christopher Paiky Word Count: 9,831 Abstract The Silk Roads stretched across Eurasia, connecting East and West for centuries. At its height, the network of trade routes enabled merchants to travel from China to the Mediterranean Sea, carrying with them high-value commercial goods, the exchange of which encouraged urban growth and prosperity. We examine the extent to which urban centers thrived or withered as a function of shocks to trade routes, particularly political fragmentation along natural travel paths. We find that political fragmenta- tion along the roads to Aleppo and historic Chang'an | major terminus locations for cross-regional trade | damaged city growth. These conclusions contribute to our understanding of how a pre-modern international system operated through an exami- nation of exchange between the two most developed world regions of the medieval and early modern periods, China and the Muslim East. ∗Department of Political Science, Stanford University yDivision of Social Science, New York University Abu Dhabi The Silk Roads were among the world's most important historical commercial routes, connecting economic interests in prosperous areas like China and the Middle East for cen- turies.

  • Seventh Grade Curriculum Materials
    Seventh grade Curriculum Materials LACMA’s Permanent Collection _______________________________________________________ HESE CURRICULUM MATERIALS ARE DESIGNED TO SUPPORT THE ACTIVITIES OF the seventh-grade students who participate in the TMaya Mobile program of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). The program is composed of presentations, hands-on art experiences in the Maya Mobile, and a docent-led visit at the museum to tour the related permanent collections. These materials will enhance the students’ experience and supplement your class study of medieval and early modern cultures throughout the school year. Through this program, students will explore the significance of trade among civilizations and the resulting exchange of ideas, beliefs, goods, and technologies as manifested in works of art. Included are images and descriptions of five objects from LACMA’s collections, questions and activities that can be used in the classroom, examples of Maya glyphs, and timelines highlighting significant cultural events. One object from the Maya civilization is the foundation for the study of the theme of the exchange of goods and ideas. Examples of works from China, Islamic lands, and early modern Europe demonstrate the growth of interactions among civilizations. They also reveal the importance of artistic production as products of exchange and developing technologies as well as representations of religious beliefs and political, philosophical, and scientific ideas. • How do beliefs and new ideas circulate in the world today? What are the systems that support the exchange of goods and ideas? How is this exchange reflected in our culture? • What types of objects do you think best communicate beliefs and ideas? How do they communicate? • When you think about trade, what types of objects come to mind? How do art objects fit into a discussion of the exchange of goods and ideas? Discuss the different ways that a work of art might communicate the beliefs and ideals of the culture it represents.

  • Twists and Turns Along the Maritime Silk Road By
    Running Header: The Maritime Silk Road Twists and Turns Along the Maritime Silk Road By: Tedric Hadeen California State University Maritime Academy The Maritime Silk Road 1 Abstract The Maritime Silk Road is a Chinese foreign policy launched in 2013 as a part of China’s One Belt One Road Initiative. The Maritime Silk Road is a vast infrastructure and investment project that stretches from eastern China to Europe. China instituted the MSR with the objective of securing important Sea Lanes of Communication, expansion of trade through infrastructure investments, and to increase its influence to a global scale. This paper aims to investigate the following research questions based on the case studies of Sri Lanka and Myanmar: How do Chinese interactions between itself, Sri Lanka and Myanmar differ because of China’s distinct goals in each country?; What are the economic, geopolitical, and naval goals China will achieve by means of investment in Sri Lanka and Myanmar? How does the MSR, used as a foreign policy, aid China’s rise as a global power? In conclusion, China used numerous un-economical projects to debt trap Sri Lanka to achieve a footprint in the Indian Ocean, with the lease of Hambantota port. This move secures Chinese trade in the region of its rival, India, and could give China a forward presence advantage in coming conflicts. China pursues a mutual beneficial trade relationship in Myanmar through infrastructure projects in Myanmar’s hinterland. China is using these projects to increase trade efficiency into central China while decreasing its dependence on the Malacca straits for trade.

  • Oceanic Voyages: Shipping in the Pacific International Shipping Services Are Crucial to Trade, Growth, and Development in the Pacific Region
    Pacific Studies Series About Oceanic Voyages: Shipping in the Pacific International shipping services are crucial to trade, growth, and development in the Pacific region. The vast majority of trade is carried by international shipping with countries outside of the region. Some cargo is bound for Australia and New Zealand, and significant proportions are destined for Asia, Europe, and North America, while very little is between Pacific island countries themselves. Outbound access to international markets for agricultural and marine products opens up opportunities for rural producers to expand their businesses and provide local jobs. Although some features of the Pacific region make provision of international services a challenge, there have also been some notable successes that offer key lessons for future development. Case studies of national shipping sector experience show the value of operating on commercial principles, attracting international and private-sector capital investment, assigning risk where it can best be managed, and liberalizing market access. Integration of the regional market for transport services, combined with harmonized OCEANIC V but less restrictive regulations, would facilitate a greater range of services at more competitive prices. Pacific island country governments have the ability to create effective operating environments. When they do so, experience shows that operators will respond with efficient service provision.

From India to the Black Sea : an overlooked trade route? (Slightly revised version with addenda) Abstract. Some Hellenistic sources and Pliny the Elder briefly describe a trade route linking the Pontic area and India. Eastern commodities were carried by various middlemen using both land and river routes. The Caspian Sea was even crossed. This existence of this itinerary, which is documented by too few texts and very little archaeological remains, has been called into question by some scholars. On the basis of several literary sources so far overlooked if not missed, I argue that the "northern road" played a continuous role in the so-called Indo-Mediterranean trade, along with the better known Indian Ocean routes. Was the Black Sea the ending point of a trade route from Central Asia? P.
