Lol!
So India and Europe are trading since more than 4000 years... Damn!
Yes so I never understood why India didn't become the world power since they had everything people wanted, and yet from Alexander to Portugal to England they never can beat European powers and stop them from being exploited.
@TERRY KWAY the mughals were the closest (until modern times) to unite india though?
@@Byronic19134 Compare 1930s Nazi Germany Vs 2020s Communist Chinazi IN YOUR NEXT VIDEO Project. Before it's too late!
@@kaceobrwa7039 yea bhai, not to mention navigation, medicine, surgery, etc.. these people especially Europeans are living in their own bubble.
@@kaceobrwa7039 Seems like a massive over reaction my dude. 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.
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.
It's weird to think that you had international trade on that scale in 1600 BC.
@@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.
@@alexjgilpin My friend at the supermarket told me that this is just hearsay and guessing.
@@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!
@@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.
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.

I imagine the story goes something like this:
Turmoil has engulfed the Galactic Republic. The taxation of trade routes to outlying star systems is in dispute. Hoping to resolve the matter with a blockade of deadly battleships, the greedy Trade Federation has stopped all shipping to the small planet of Naboo. While the Congress of the Republic endlessly debates this alarming chain of events, the Supreme Chancellor has secretly dispatched two Jedi Knights, the guardians of peace and justice in the galaxy, to settle the conflict....

13:06 oh, hey, they labelled the congo as the property of Leopold II. That's surprising. I mean, it's factual, but it's rare to see attention to such a small detail. Would've been easier to label it as Belgian, if slightly inaccurate.
I’m kind of slow, but why is is that way? Was the land gifted/given to just him instead of the country of Belgium?
Because Leopold took Congo as his personal possession, free to do whatever he wants to the place and the people that lives there. Simply to say if you control a land as you then you are free to do whatever you wish to that land... which he did, very brutally and because of him many people died in what is known the Congo genocide

Hey this is a great video! I would have loved if you highlighted more about how Indian/Tibetan/Southeast pre colonial politics affected trade in the in the region. Players like the Chola creating a merchant guild in South India and the East Indias, Tibetan Empire wrestling with the Silk road going toe to toe with China and linking overland trade between India and China through the Himalayas, or the Majapahit of the Javanese in modern Indonesia who locked down all east Indies trade and was was a economic juggernaut at it's zenith.
Or the trade with the Makassar and Yolgnu in Sea cucumbers that stretched from Norther Australia to Southern China. I would also have loved to see the trade routes of pre-Columbian America covered and the Micronesian/Filipino/Okinawan trade
And the trade of the Polynesian triangle as well as the long distance networks through to Hawaii and Easter island along with the Austronesian trade that extended through Sri Lanka, the Seychelles and on to Madagascar
Or how the trading kingdoms in the eastern branch of Maritime Silk Road (Philippines and Borneo) rose in prominence during the Yuan Dynasty since the western trunk (mainland southeast asia) suffered disturbances during the Mongol military campaigns in the 1280s to 1300s.

This is amazing. So much info, simply presented, ties a lot of things together.
Hey there, I would just like to let you know that your content has aided me greatly in explaining the history of the world to my peers in University, I often show your videos (with credit to you of course cited) and it gets people who would not be interested in comprehending or learning about history involved with it. Your illustrated maps have proven great maps in terms of understanding the history of regions
Thanks for this. People only focus on single known routes that are stuck in people's consciousness like the Silk road between China and Europe or the Spice Route after Europe founded ways to America and Asia, forgetting that there were other trade routes equally important.

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).
He did not even talk about a lot of trade routes and the video has a lot of misinformation

This is the stuff i love to learn about. I've developed a reputation for being a Trade Whore whenever i play grand strategy games with my friends (Civ VI in particular). My only problem with this video is that it's only 20 minutes. I could listen to this for hours. (If anyone has any suggestions for podcasts please tell me).

You have done a really good work. Facts, animations and the overall script is amazing. Thank you!!!
I love how on the colonial map of Africa it says "Leopold II" instead of Belgium for the area encompassing the Congo. The colony was his private territory, but it still gave me a good chuckle, because all the other territories are owned by countries.

One of the most informative videos I've seen in a long time. So many things in history make much more sense when thought of in these terms.
This explains so much about human history and it's conflicts.
@Complex CR War breaks out whenever trade collapses.
Great video, India called as golden bird in ancient times and during the time of gupta empire, India's gdp had shares of 35% in total world gdp, and the fact is no one empire ever achieved this much percentage in global gdp but cuz of rich region, it attracts many invaders and india got looted over time, and now the countries of those invaders like UK, France etc and mostly whole europe calls india as a poor nation and also say that india never got rich in past, so yeah it hurts when people forgets history
Hoax news
Brilliantly concise yet very informative. Nice Job :D
The quality of the videos on this channel is impressive. I've watched some of these more than once.
a train route between China and North America is something i’ve never considered; but now I am very interested in the idea.
it will never happen, politician doesnt allow it (they see china and russia as threats), harsh temperature doesnt allow it(tunnel are expensive, exposed rail will expand/contract frequently). north american doesnt have money for it (american owe huge debt they can not afford anything like this).
@@redhongkong China and Russia ARE threats, and I am saying this as a person in Asia. China, the dictator Xi and his friends--not the Chinese people themselves, have been interfering with Asian politics against the will of our people. Most people in my country loathe Xi Jinping's messing up with our country.
Everyone please look up milk tea alliance hashtag. India, Myanmar, Thailand, Philippines, and many in Indonesia want Xi Jinping to stop messing up with our continent. Please support #MilkTeaAlliance everyone who cares about human rights and world peace should educate themselves on this topic 🙏
@@redhongkong economy triumphs. china, despite being USA's number one rival manufactures most of their goods. if the train route promises profit, the businessmen would find ways to get it working despite ideological and political clashes.
Just a wild dream. Ocean shipment is much cheaper.
Pliny the Elder, in 77 CE, called India “the sink of the world's gold!”
India in some cases referred to area streching from the horn of africa to the indian subcontinent so yeah an area that big probably has much gold
North indian and axumite Ethiopian gold coins had the highest gold quantity in them even when their empires were collapsing and coin minting started to decline their coins still had more gold quantity than any roman,persian or greek coin, they were considered tokens instead of regular coins for outsiders so that assumption is perfectly explainable

Till 1800 every diamond worn by anyone in the world came from India. In medieval times, the kingdom of Golconda (Golconda fort is now part of Hyderabad city) became the supplier & trading center for diamonds, which were surface-mined along the banks of Krishna River (in Kolluru, Paritala villages & a few more).
Diamonds were not nearly as popular as jewellery in the ancient and medieval period of Europe as they are now.
I’m always fascinated by the trade throughout history! This helped greatly!
Thank you for teaching me lots of new things that I have heard it for the first time, that I had never heard them during my schooling yeara. Wondeeful videos.
The voice is very comforting and the visuals are very simple yet satisfying
I love the channel
Great topic
We are doing a unit on trade routes for my world history class right now, so this is very helpful.
I wish I would've have has a reference like this in my AP World history class, I learn much quicker visually than I do just from text but that does not mean I neglect the text. This would have helped me better understand the sequentially the empires and trade that came and went that way I could have pieced things together faster. It's missing some earlier trade routes but overall very Well done.
When Geo uploaded video, my knowlegde about history is wider every time.
This video is useful in understanding war and geopolitics. thanks
I just learned so much. Thank you!
Fantastic presentation. Ties up many development driving forces into an one clear picture

Nice video Well done storytelling by the narrator, great work:)
Amazingly well done!
I love how in the scramble for Africa area it lists every nation, and then just lists leopold II.
that's because the others are territories of their respective empires, while the congo was the personal territory of leopold II and not subject to Belgium government laws.
@@mxn1948 that was until 1908, when Belgium forcibly took control over the territory from their king, having been forced to act after the many reports of atrocities that were taking place there.

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.)
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.
cuz humans are biased at various levels, intentionally or unintentionally.
Happy that you are back ..
When Goe history posted, My day got 1 million times better
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.
IT HAS BEEN MONTHS... How dare you keep us up at all hours, wondering if you were ok... Anything could have happened to you!
Thank you for your time you never fail to please us

In 1511, Melaka city in Malaysia has 200,000 people according to Portuguese record which equate one fifth of Portugal (1 million people).
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.
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..
Zhang Qian actually wasnt improsined 14 years only. He escaped the Xiongnu fortress, did his mission, moved back and had to enter Xiongnu regions again and.. was captured again.. and escaped again with his wife who was a Xiongnu woman, til he finally approached his homeland.. again.

There is no world history without India. If India wasn't his target (not China or Japan), Chris Columbus wouldn't have discovered Americas. Till his death he was believing that he landed in India & the people whom he met were "Indians". That name stuck. Indians for a child born in USA, mean those "few" natives with plumed head-gear roaming over plains of America (not anymore now). There was an amusing cartoon I happened to see in an American magazine. It depicts an Indian lady clad in saree & with a bindi on her forehead. The kid in the picture asks her, "Oh ! You're Indian? Where is your bow & arrows?". They created a reservation (land) for them to live & called it "Indiana", which now is one of the fifty states where everyone can live.
@@MrPoornakumar people should respect natives , and European countries became rich by trading with India and Britain became super rich by colonising India, today people think great about Britain, because it once colonised vast number of lands , but Indian blood ( both Asian Indian and native Indian) was the reason for their prosperity , I am happy that our culture is still thriving today but feel sad for those thousands of cultures which perished due to inquisitions and other inhumane things done by those
@@chaitanyareddymuthyala2967
Native (American) Indians yielded to a great nation there by decimating their own race while at the same time original(Asian ) Indians made Britain rich. Same generals & administrators served in both places (Cornwallis fought wars here in India as well as there in America). Both countries ought to be freinds & partners (though the other country has blood on its hands) now. Leave the bitterness behind.
Fascinating video.
Thank you
Very well-made video, informative, easy to follow. Thanks.
Yes it is.
It’s really interesting that trade that time took time and need precision.
LOL
It is how humans discovered navigation that evolved to the present precise Science. It is how Geography evolved. Static peope shut in their home-territories (not crossing the seas) can't achieve it. Before Chris Columbus nobody had any idea of an Ocean, much less crossing one. All boats (ships) sailed within the viewing distance from a land, close to the coast. He was the first to cross an Ocean (3600 miles across), charting it & bringing knowledge that none had before. There is no way one can measure a "longitude" except by an accurate clock (Chronometer) which shows the time of the port where the ship sailed from, so as to compare the time the ship is on, from Sun's position (morning, noon or afternoon). Thus, clocks became necessary & vital. It is how modern Sciences developed !
