0:10 This video completely neglects the *actual* earliest route, that of copper and tin. Copper and tin are not mined any where near each other, but the trade of these two metals is what started the bronze age worldwide. Also, the *end of the trade* of copper and tin marked the end of the bronze age (The Bronze Age Collapse) - and people searching for alternatives to bronze led to the start of the iron age.

@tonyfriendly4409 2 года назад

It's weird to think that you had international trade on that scale in 1600 BC.

@alexjgilpin 2 года назад

@@tonyfriendly4409 The bronze age started in the western asian/eastern european steppes around 3500BC, and the trade of copper and tin stretched from western Europe (Germany and France had tin) down to Cyprus (which had copper) and Egypt. This is also tied to the spread of the Proto-Indo-European language, which the traders would have spoken.

@justthecoolestdudeyo9446 2 года назад

@@tonyfriendly4409 There's pretty hefty evidence that hunter-gatherers also often had trade routes that were "international" (in quotes because there aren't necessarily nation-states involved). Items are found in campsites that had to be created or obtained hundreds of miles from where they're found. So there was likely trade going way further back than agriculture!

@alexjgilpin 2 года назад

@@berkajr3685 Thanks for the response. I wanted to speak more about it. The bronze age starting around 3500BC isn't hearsay or guessing: There's bronze age artifacts that have been discovered all around the Mediterranean that date back to that time, and the nearest place they could have gotten the tin used in that bronze would have been in western Europe. The existence of Proto-Indo-European also is not hearsay or guessing. There's too many cognates among the languages in the area to not all be related to some ancestor. Not everyone agrees on the composition of the PIE language, though. "Kurgan theory" is also not hearsay or guessing. That these steppe people, who spread out and likely spoke PIE, lived between the sources of copper and tin during the start of the bronze age is well established. The tin used in the Mediterranean had to travel through these people in order to get to where it was used to make bronze.

Ah the Hanseatic League. The most prosperous time for Estonia. All of our old town date back to that time. All of them built with German architecture, pretty deep inland too. The trade even went through the rivers.

@Saiga-saiga 2 года назад

During the Hanseatic League, Estonians were forbidden to visit cities, and the Estonians themselves lived at the level of the tribal system. The Hanseatic League is trade between the main peoples of the then Europe, such as Poles, Germans and Russians. I would not say that it was the best time for Estonia, because no one took into account the opinion of local residents. And even now, however.

The guy is pretty much crediting India for having *everything everyone wanted* , but still wonders why it didn't become a unified global power. He's not being disrespectful or anything, at least in my opinion. Obviously, India was the world's biggest economy until well into the 19th century, if you take into account the fact that the British Raj was its own country and its own economy (and also encompassed more land than modern day India has, but that's almost irrelevant to the subject). Nobody is denying that. It's just amazing how much tribalism can blind us to the point that the world's largest economy would actually end up reduced to a colony because of it.

Rahid Hoque Alexander set out to conquer the world, that ends in the east, in India (of course, he couldn't enter India). He (nor his Guru, Aristotle) knew of the existence of China then. A few centuries later the "Yuechi" tribe became the most powerful people in central Asia. China was made to take note of them & contain them if possible. The Yuechi, led by Kanishka founded a big Empire in Central Asia, half of which extended to the banks of Yamuna River (India). Silk route to Europe, "per se", began a millennium after Alexander & was acknowledged of its existence with the great explorer/travellor, Marco Polo (1254-1324).

Feb. 3, 2023 I landed here after studying Shanxi in China and its Horse Tea Road section of the trade routes. This section connected to what is today’s Myanmar, etc. Aside from the actual hostel that’s several hundred years old and still in operation(!) the village and its environs has maintained much of what was created over the dynasties. The village also exists as a reenactment of history, eg, preparing and serving the foods that were being eaten by the traders. A mindblower: The book chain Librairie Avant Garde in Nanjing opened a fabulous modernistic bookstore nearby, with an emphasis on poetry. The flight of stairs leading to “the poetry tower” is awesome. (I’m not particularly into poetry but I was tickled by spotting a photo on the upper staircase of American poet and author Sylvia Plath. (The Bell Jar is a must read.) Had she known that her work was to be revered in today’s China, perhaps she wouldn’t have committed suicide during her failing marriage to UK poet Ted Hughes.)

Thanks for pronouncing route as root. Make this video much more enjoyable to watch :)

I hear it pronounced more often as 'root' than 'rawt' tbh.

The Prehistorian trade routes are not discussed. For instance the production of Bronze was only possible by supply from different source far away from each other. The Hansetic network was larger as stated here. In the East Netherlands several cities were part of it, and till at least 1700 it was active. What I noticed that in Europe the hub cities became extremily rich.

i love that you didnt mention anything about malacca and nusantara. the source of spice and important trade route between arabian peninsula, india and china. portuguese conquering malacca, dutch creating voc. that sounds major to me

Thank you for including Adulis and the Aksumite Empire. Eritrean history often gets overlooked despite its strategic importance in economic history.

12:30 The ancient Suez canal = Canal of the Pharaohs. That's fascinating! You could have mentioned it earlier in the video as an ancient trade route.

@MrPoornakumar 2 года назад

131alexa A canal was dug from the bitter lakes (through which the present Suez canal passes) to one of the distributaries (Nile delta) of River Nile. That way, boats can reach the Mediterranean from Red Sea. Ingenious !

@davidwuhrer6704 2 года назад

The current Suez canal is at least the third one. There was also one during the late stone age.

That would mean giving credit to africa, I don't think that will fit in nicely to his Agenda. The neglect of Africa which is the oldest continent is just shocking. To think that Africa had no trade Route but built the pyramid.

So by the Treaty of Tordesillas, The whole Iberian Peninsula should have been portugese anyway

The Treaty applied only to newly discovered land, everything that was already claimed by European countries before the treaty couldn't be claimed by Spain or Portugal, regardless of its location at either side of the line

It's curious how the Opium Wars are entirely disregarded here. Someone below has mentioned the Europe-wide trade in copper and tin going on between Mycenae, Egypt and other Bronze age civilizations before the collapse in ~1200 BC.

In 1511, Melaka city in Malaysia has 200,000 people according to Portuguese record which equate one fifth of Portugal (1 million people).

@diogorodrigues747 2 года назад

The Portuguese empire was huge for the size of the population. In fact, that is one reason why the empire was more about trade than territory, the main reason why, in the Iberian Union, most territories were lost to the British or Dutch.

@alinabintang1642 4 месяца назад

Perkiraan tertinggi sekitar 100 rb.. Beberapa sumber mengatakan antara 30.000-40.000 pada masa itu sudah termasuk kota pelabuhan yang besar.. Sebagai perbandingan Demak yang merupakan ibukota kerajaan hanya memiliki antara 8.000-10.000 keluarga, silahkan diasumsikan bila tiap-tiap keluarga memiliki anggota keluarga antara 4 sampai 5 orang.. Pada abad ke 16 di estimasi penduduk Indonesia sekitar 8 juta jiwa.. Bandingkan dengan Malaysia pada saat kemerdekaan hanya memiliki populasi sekitar 8 juta jiwa. Bayangkan tanpa migrasi besar penduduk india dan china saat itu, berapa populasi malaka..
