Throughout history trade has always been a huge part of every nation around the world, trade keeps the world flowing because all of the nations can’t always get the things they need. Trade is a very important force that changed the early modern world, they had to explore for the things that they needed but did not have in their own land, trade played a big role on how countries got along with each other. Trade changed the early world in many different ways. Trade is what helped to governer of Sijilmasa get an open border between the two countries because he had stated that a merchants going back and forth would help the countries. “The Coming to and fro of merchants to a country is of benefit to its inhabitants and a help to keeping it populous.”(//Document One//) Trade also helped the countries get the things that they need to make things that they could not make without the resources they also helped them make advancements in warfare technology. Trade also helped to people want to explore other regions of the world. The more that people needed things that they did not have the more they sent others out to explore new lands to find the things they needed. The Columbian exchange was a big part of the trade system during the 15th to 18th centuries. The columbian exchange was the transferring of resources from the western hemisphere to the eastern hemisphere and from the eastern to the western. Some crops that cannot be grown very well in some parts of the world can be grown very well in others so the people so kings and rulers sent out people to find places that had the things that they needed. Trade can greatly effect a society and its relations with other countries. In 1498 the Portuguese had sent people to find a good sea route to India and upon arrival they had immediately landed in Calicut and begun talked to the ruler of Calicut and he had told him that he was a king of a rich and very wealthy land and they had begun to be friends but he started to think he was lying and was just there for his gold. “The king the said that he had told him that he came from a very rich kingdom, and yet he brought nothing; that he had also told him that he was the bearer of a letter, which had not yet been delivered.”(//Document Four//) In 1198 Pope Innocent III allowed Venice to trade with the Muslim people even though they were forbade to trade with them in times before, he allowed them to but they we only allow to trade things that would never help them in a war. “...we have placed under sentence of excommunication all those who in future consort with the Saracens, directly or indirectly, or who attempt to give or send aid to them by sea as long as the war shall last.”(//Document 6//)
