2. GLOBALISATION Globalization is a term used to describe how trade and technology have made the world into a more connected and interdependent place. Globalization also captures in its scope the economic and social changes that have come about as a result. It may be pictured as the threads of an immense spider web formed over millennia, with the number and reach of these threads increasing over time. People, money, material goods, ideas, and even disease and devastation have traveled these silken strands, and have done so in greater numbers and with greater speed than ever in the present age.

3. ECONOMIC EFFECTS orld War II brought about untold changes not just to Europe but the entire world. This period marked a cultural and economic shift, and the recovery from that shift echoes to this day. Economically, the period after the end of World War II was a time for moving from the industry of creation for the purpose of destruction and into the industry of creation for creation's sake, resulting in an attitude of exploring new technologies and business models previously unheard of. In Europe, this shift is most clearly illustrated by the change in the  gross domestic product (GDP)  in the years immediately following the war.1 KEY TAKEAWAYS Post-WWII saw many countries devastated both physically and financially, but they rebuilt many outdated structures and developed new technologies that are still used today. The United States benefited the most from WWII as it had a large population, technological prowess, and the capital necessary to change WWII machinations into business and industry that benefited the civilian. Europe saw great growth post-WWII; it just happened slower than it did in the United States and Japan.

4. CULTURAL FOOD EXCHANGE Food offers many examples of long-distance cultural exchange. New crops were spread throughout the nations by traders and travellers . For example, it is considered that spaghetti was created when noodles travelled from China to the west. Or maybe pasta was brought to Sicily, an Italian island, by Arab traders in the fifth century. The origins of these meals may never be fully understood since they were also popular in Japan and India. However, such conjecture raises the possibility of cross-cultural communication even in premodern times. Many contemporary staple foods, including tomatoes, potatoes, soy, groundnuts, maize, sweet potatoes, and so on, were unknown to our ancestors until roughly five centuries ago.

5. EUROPE TO AMERICA Europeans fled to America in the 19th century because poverty and hunger were commonplace in Europe. Around 30 million people from Europe emigrated to America in the 19th century. Reasons for migration were plenty. Cities were overcrowded and deadly diseases were uncontrolled. Anyone holding views different from the established religion was not tolerated and was severely persecuted. As a result, large numbers of people escaped to America. Demand for labour was high in America, which fueled more migration. Thus, innumerable Europeans left their home and travelled vast distances for a better future.

6. SILK ROAD Silk Road , ancient trade route, linking  China  with the West, that carried goods and ideas between the two great civilizations of  Rome  and China.  Silk  went westward, and wools, gold, and silver went east. China also received  Nestorian  Christianity and  Buddhism  (from India) via the Silk Road. lake in the Pamirs Lake in the Pamirs , western Uygur Autonomous Region of Xinjiang, western China.(more) Originating at  Xi’an  (Sian), the 4,000-mile (6,400-km) road, actually a  caravan  tract, followed the  Great Wall of China  to the northwest,  bypassed  the  Takla Makan Desert , climbed the  Pamirs  (mountains), crossed  Afghanistan , and went on to the  Levant ; from there the merchandise was shipped across the  Mediterranean Sea . Few persons traveled the entire route, and goods were handled in a staggered progression by middlemen.
