What was globlization in the eighteenth century?

Answer 1

It was already discovered of the spherical shape of Earth by then, there were rough sketches of what they thought the world looked like by cartographers, the New World was being colonized by the British, French, Spanish, Russians (Alaska), Portuguese, and Dutch. India was also being taken apart by the British, French, and Portuguese. India was currently inhabited by the Maratha Confederacy, at war with the dominant, but weak, Mughal Empire, and the enclave nation of Mysore, which is in southern India, at peace in the middle of it all. Portugal inhabited Goa, a small piece of land in southeastern India, the British inhabited Bengal, a large piece of land in northwestern India, with the famous (at that time) city of Calcutta as it's regional capital, present-day Kholkata, with the French to the south in the region of Cuttack. The Mughal Empire stretched from the region of Persian Afghanistan to British Bengal to Maratha Hyderabad. The British Empire inhabited India, all of present-day Canada (after the 1763 Treaty of Paris), the Thirteen Colonies were controlled by the British until they broke off in 1783 (as stated in the 1783 Treaty of Paris) as the American Revolution. Spain, in Europe, had a smattering of possessions such as Flanders (present-day Belgium), Lombardy and Naples and Sicily, both in Italy, and Gibraltar (technically in Spain, now a present-day country on the tip of southern Spain. It's overseas possessions included most of the Caribbean, all of South America, save French and Dutch Guyana, also New Spain, present-day Mexico, New Mexico, Texas, and Spanish Louisiana. The French possessions included various Caribbean islands, such as the Windward Islands, they also had all of Canada (New France and Quebec/pre-1763 Treaty of Paris), they also had French Louisiana, which extended from present-day Louisiana to present-day Washington to the Yukon territory. The Russians extended from present-day Juneau, Alaska to Minsk, Belarus to St. Pertersburg, Ingria. The Russian Empire was considerably larger in the 18th century as they had, at the extent of the Empire, had Kazakhstan, Finland, Estonia, Lativia, Belarus, meaning white Russia, Alaska, Courland, East Prussia, and the Crimea. The Ottoman Empire, or the remnants of the Eastern Roman Empire, as I refer to it as, is a relatively weak in military or political power is strong in numbers, as even today there are are approximately 7 children in an average Turkish family. The Empire extended from Serbia, Moldavia, and surrounding territories to Syria to Egypt. The Ottoman Empire declined over the centuries and now Turkey is all that remains of the legacy of the millenia of the Eastern Roman Empire wrought terror over the Earth then Byzantine, then the Ottoman Empire, declining, then falling after World War One, leaving behind the great Constantinople, now called Istanbul.

All of these being connected, government, culture, diplomacy, and economy are all similar between the nations. Most nations adopted absolute monarchism, all power given solely and exclusively for the monarch, like France, which later was one of the first to revolt into a republic. Others adopted a constitutional monarchy,like Great Britain, where most power given to the monarch, and a representative governing body, such as a parliament, is given a lesser power. In 18th century Europe, the United Provinces of the United Netherlands was the only republic, ironically today they are one of the only remaining constitutional monarchies left in Europe. Capitalization in the 18th century proved prosperous, the slave trade flourishing, especially along the Triangle Trade, the New World was rapidly being colonized, as well as India, especially by Great Britain, France, and Spain. Culture remained relatively similar, France having it's pompous grandeur-ish style, Great Britain maintaining a conservative status in clothing, as well as in act, Spain, its average stereotypical self, needless niceties and grandeur, India, being devoured by the British, attempt to maintain their fragile culture, consisting widely of religion. The German states, the same as today. The British economy was booming, a wide result of the slave trade no doubt.
