Europeans began looking for new sea routes to Asia.
Portugal and Spain began to explore the oceans in the Age of Discovery. They were looking for trade routes to Asia (the East Indies) to be better able to trade for gold, silver, and spices.
Global trade began to take shape in the 15th century, particularly during the Age of Exploration, when European powers sought new trade routes and markets. This period saw the establishment of maritime routes connecting Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Americas. The expansion of trade networks continued into the 16th and 17th centuries, further integrating global economies.
Trade routes began to emerge around 3000 BCE with the rise of early civilizations in Mesopotamia, Egypt, and the Indus Valley. These routes facilitated the exchange of goods, ideas, and cultures, connecting distant regions. Notable early trade routes included the Silk Road, which developed around the 2nd century BCE, and established extensive links between Asia and Europe. Over time, trade routes expanded, adapting to the needs of growing economies and societies.
