You don't need the answer to this question I just need to actually understand what it's asking here's the question Describe the coffee's effect on the global balance of power in terms of commerce?

Answer 1

Alright, I'll try to help break down this question the best I can. If anyone sees an easier way to explain something that I said, then feel free to edit to make it more comprehensible~

Okay so best way to break down a question is to understand all the terms that you might not completely understand. The main two I can see would be the balance of power and commerce.

Balance of power: a situation in which political or military strength is divided between two countries or groups of countries (Oxford dictionary)

Commerce: The activity of buying and selling, especially on a large scale (TheFreeDictionary.com)

Note: Global is international or worldwide, so just apply that to the balance of power since I couldn't find a definition for global balance of power alone.

Because they're asking you in terms of commerce means that instead of it being a political or military strength, it will be based on the activity of buying and selling.

So just indicate coffee's effect on the division of buying and selling goods between different countries or regions.
