Chapter 15: European Expansion
Europe and the Global Marketplace- The rapid expansion of European commercial activity in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries was fueled by Europe's increasingly active presence in the global marketplace. By the end of the seventeenth century, new plants, new products, and new colonies were well on their way to remaking Europe's economy. Examine the images of a Portuguese traveler in India on page 354, a Brazilian sugar refinery on page 360, and the view of a sixteenth-century marketplace on page 365. When you're done, write an account of the importance of global trade from the point of view of a seventeenth-century Dutch merchant. How had trade affected daily life in Europe? What impact had it had on European politics? What would the future most likely bring?
