The economic problems mostly rose indirectly from a population drop due to diseases such as smallpox and threat of nomadic invaders such as the Huns or Germanic tribes. Major empires (Rome, Gupta/India, and Han China) were the most affected and responded by decreasing trans-regional trade, but Rome was so dependent on foreign commodities and innovations that it could not exist as an empire independently. The Romans attempted to react by growing their intraregional market via expansion, but the military strength of its neighbors, especially Germanic tribes, made the necessary expansion impossible.

The establishment of European empires
To a large extent economics have influenced the world throughout the history of civilized humankind. In countless examples, wealthy nations or empires were a source of military power, Also, the seeking of economic power has sometimes resulted in gaining such power by using military means. For example, although Nazi Germany became a wealthy nation before World War Two, Hitler saw Eastern Europe as a place for new economic growth. He attempted to use war as a method of obtaining the fertile lands of eastern Europe.
In the 18th century, empires were closely tied to trade as they sought to expand their wealth and influence through control of resources and markets. Colonial powers established trade routes and monopolies on valuable goods like sugar, tobacco, and spices, which fueled economic growth. The establishment of trading posts and colonies enabled empires to exploit local resources, integrate global markets, and enhance their political power. Thus, the pursuit of trade became a fundamental aspect of imperial expansion and competition among European powers.
