Evolution of Trade and Trading Networks
Key Concept: (4.1.IV.D) The Atlantic system involved the movement of goods, wealth, and free and unfree laborers, and the mixing of African, American and European cultures and peoples.
Key Concept: (3.1.IV.D) The increase in trading caused trade routes to spring up like The Hanseatic League on the north coast of Europe making trade easier with other states.
The Hanseatic league was formed, which is very important in the fact that the Hanseatic League made trade in northern Europe increase.
Government Structure
Key Concept: (4.2.I.B) Slavery in Africa continued both the traditional incorporation of slaves into households and the export of slaves to the Mediterranean and Indian Ocean.
As slavery became more prominent in the Holy Roman Empire, it increased economic growth by trade. Slavery also affected social hierarchies, as definite racial hierarchies and roles were implemented. The development of hierarchies led to social and political diversity.
Culture and Society
Key Concept: (4.2.II.C) Some notable gender and family restructuring occurred including the demographic changes in Africa that resulted from the slave trades (as well as dependence of European men on Southeast Asian women for conducting trade in that region or the smaller size of European families).
The introduction of slavery from Africa and the Americas led to changes in culture throughout Europe. The social and gender hierarchies that resulted from slavery, led to permanent changes in society and in families.
Religious Influences
Key Concept: (4.1.VI.B) The practice of Christianity continued to spread throughout the world and was increasingly diversified by the process of diffusion and the Reformation.
During this time, many monks and missionaries from the Holy Roman Empire traveled to other empires in order to convert them to either Lutheran Christianity or Catholicism.
Reasons for Growth
Key Concept: (4.1.IV.C) Influenced by mercantilism, joint-stock companies were new methods used by European rulers to control their domestic and colonial economies and by European merchants to compete against each other in global trade.
Technological innovations allowed for an increase in production on goods and an increase in trade, which led to economic growth.
