1450-1750Before the Columbian voyages, there was no interaction between the eastern and western hemispheres. The world in 1450 was still “divided” into two discrete zones of interaction and, in the eastern hemisphere, Asian and African trade routes and empires were most significant. The western Europeans’ entrance into major oceanic explorations (in order to find sea routes around Africa and therefore access to African and Asian markets), therefore, changed the dynamics of trade and cross-cultural interactions from hemispheric to global ones.
