History


Extent of the Silk Road and Spice trade routes infertile by the Ottoman Empire in 1453 spurring exploration.
The chronological origin of globalization is the topic of on-going discuss. Though some scholars situate the origins of globalization in the current era, others stare it as a occurrence with a Lon. 

Maybe the greatest advocate of a deep past origin for globalization was Andre Gander Frank, an economist linked with addiction theory. Frank argued that a form of globalization has been in survival since the rise of deal links amid Sumer and the Indus Valley Civilization in the third millennium B.C. Critics of this idea point out that it rests upon an over-broad meaning of globalization.
An early form of globalized finances and society existed during the Hellenistic Age, when commercialized urban centers were alert around the alliance of Greek society over a wide choice that prolonged from India to Spain, with such cities as Alexandria, Athens, and Antioch at its center. Trade was widespread during that era, and it is the first time the idea of a international culture (from Greek "Cassopolis", meaning "world city") emerged. Others have apparent an early form of globalization in the trade links between the Roman Empire, the Parthian Empire, and the Han Dynasty. The rising expression of profitable links between these powers enthused the development of the Silk Road, which ongoing in western China, reached the boundaries of the Parthian territory, and continued onwards towards Rome.[16] With 300 Greek ships a year sailing between the Greco-Roman world and India, the annual trade may have reached 300,000 tons.
