This intensification of trade led to the beginnings of the African slave trade and the destruction of the indigenous peoples of South and Central America, which changed the course of history. Despite all of this change, however, trade still remained a profound source of cultural diffusion, and the influence and power of China on world trade and politics did not waver.

Since the beginning of time, mankind has always had some form of trade. It started off as bartering and trade of general goods and slowly progressed over time. Different forms of specialized trade arose over time such as the trade of salt within Africa among Trans-Saharan trade routes and the large fur-trade market in northern Missouri that flourished throughout the span of the seventeenth century.

In the pre 16th century, trade played a major role during the mercantilist period. It marked the beginning of economic development through exchange of goods and culture between continents. According to Peter Stabel; Greve Anke and Bruno Blonde (2000) book, International Trade in Low Countries, the trade allowed the emergence of the global market thus enhanced economic regions’ interconnection and continents’ interdependence. In the 16th century, trade constituted a portion of global trade but developed disproportionately in the early modern period. National markets became increasingly interconnected, thus bringing various innovations in transportation, infrastructure, and energy supply areas. The transition from individual manufacturing to the mass invention and convergence in prices of materials made transactions significantly easier, thus accelerating integration. The European countries dominated in international trade development during the 16th century. Later on North America emerged and created a stronger global economic influence and in the 21th century, Asian states especially China also gained influence by becoming USA creditors thus acting as the current century economic growth engine (Peter, Bruno, & Anke, 2000).
