European trade led to greater global interdependence for several reasons. Firstly, the search for new trade routes and valuable goods, such as spices and precious metals, prompted European explorers to venture into new regions, establishing direct connections and trade networks with distant lands. This expanded trade allowed for the exchange of not only goods but also ideas, technologies, and cultures, leading to a greater interconnectedness between different parts of the world.
Secondly, as European powers colonized various territories, they implemented systems of economic exploitation such as plantation agriculture, which relied on the labor of enslaved individuals from Africa. This led to the creation of vast networks of trade involving raw materials, manufactured goods, and enslaved individuals, linking Europe, Africa, and the Americas in a complex web of economic interdependence.
Furthermore, the emergence of global trading hubs, such as Amsterdam and London, facilitated the flow of goods and capital across continents, attracting merchants and investors from different regions. This interconnectivity fostered the development of financial systems, such as banks and joint-stock companies, that further facilitated trade and investment on a global scale.
Overall, European trade expanded the scope of global commerce, created new economic dependencies, and facilitated the exchange of goods, capital, and knowledge between distant regions, ultimately leading to greater global interdependence.
