Key concepts: The Making of a Global World (Class 10 History)
Explores how the world became interconnected: the ancient Silk Routes, the Columbian exchange of foods and germs, 19th-century flows of goods, labour and capital, indentured migration, and the shocks of the two World Wars, the Great Depression (1929) and the post-war Bretton Woods order of the IMF and World Bank.
- Silk Routes
- Pre-modern overland and sea trade networks linking Asia with Europe and North Africa; they carried silk, spices, metals, ideas and religions.
- Columbian Exchange
- After Columbus reached the Americas (1492), foods like the potato, maize, chillies and tomatoes spread to Europe, Asia and Africa.
- Smallpox in the Americas
- European germs, especially smallpox, killed vast numbers of Native Americans who had no immunity—a weapon of conquest deadlier than guns.
- Corn Laws
- British laws restricting grain imports; their repeal in 1846 let cheap food flow in but ruined many British farmers, who left the land.
