What were the changes in trade patterns and technology in the years 1470-1750 CE?
Basically what changed throughout this period was the mindsets of the people in military and trade professions. Exploration and colonization brought increased world trade and competition between world powers. This sudden spike in world exploration can be attributed to first the crusades and the search for the treasures of the east, but is later brought about by the travels of Marco Polo and the writings of many renaissance writers glorifying the east. Exploration and colonization soon provided the raw materials for these world powers to begin manufacturing other goods therefore, spurning advancements in technology. The Great Enlightenment which emphasized the importance of science and new technologies ultimately led to the Industrial Revolution.
