The environmental effects of various networks of exchange in Afro- Eurasia from c.1200 to c.1450
- The various networks of trade exchange in the Euro-Eurasia world brought about vast changes to the world trade.
- Various important and historic trade routes such as the Silk Road, Trans-Saharan trade route, and Silk Road were made during this time period so that empires and countries could buy and sell goods from around the world.
- These trade routes made various changes to the environment as well. People started settling on the trading routes and started degrading the environment for settlement.
The various networks of exchange (especially the Silk Road and Slave Trade) brought many environmental effects during c.1200 to c.1450 in Afro-Eurasian relationships.
There was a cultural diffusion of diseases, animals, and crops. This cultural diffusion also brought increased trade along the trade routes.
New towns and kingdoms developed during this period with growth in population and devastating impacts on the environment. People got exposed to new forms of religion and cultural practices that challenged the environment adversely.
Some of the networks of exchange enriched old cultures, while some destroyed the old cultures, and others supplanted the old with new cultures. The period also created the opportunity for studying and understanding foreign languages.
Thus, it was a mixed bag of the good and the bad that the networks of exchange in Afro-Eurasia brought on the environment.
