Question

give reasons why europe rose to become the main centre of world trade (chapter 3)

Answer 1

Answer:

Trade was the driving force in making Europe into the dominant world power as it was the midwife for Europe's superior technology and institutions. And Europe's trade happened because their food was quite terrible and they were hungry for spices to make their food tastier.

China and India were perhaps among the richest countries in the world up until the eighteenth century. ... China's diminished role and the rising importance of the Americas gradually moved the focus of the world trade towards the west, making Europe its epicenter.
