Answer:
Conquest, Disease, and Trade -
In the 16th century, after European sailors found a sea route to Asia, they discovered America.
The Indian subcontinent had been known for bustling trade with goods, people, customs, and knowledge. It was a crucial point in their trade network.
After the discovery of America, its vast lands and abundant crops and minerals began to transform trade and lives everywhere.
Precious metals, particularly silver from mines located in Peru and Mexico enhanced Europe’s wealth and financed its trade with Asia.
The Portuguese and Spanish conquest and colonization of America was underway. The most powerful weapon of the Spanish conquerors was not a conventional military weapon but germs of small pax which they carried. America’s original inhabitants had no immunity against such type of diseases.
