Ancient Times
People, including travellers, traders, priests, and pilgrims, journeyed great
distances to gain knowledge, opportunities, spiritual fulfilment, orto
escape persecution.
During their travels, they transported goods, money, values, skills, ideas,
inventions, and even germs and diseases.
An active coastal trade linked the Indus valley civilizations with present-
day West Asia as early as 3000 BCE.
The Silk Route connected China with the West, and food travelled from

America to Europe to Asia.
Noodles travelled from China to Italy, where they became spaghetti.
European conquerors carried the germs of smallpox to America, and once
introduced, it spread throughout the continent.

Silk Routes
The Silk Route was a historical trade route that existed from
the second century B.C. until the 14th century A.D.
The importance of West-bound Chinese silk cargoes along this
route earned it the name "silk routes."
The route stretched from Asia to the Mediterranean, passing
through China, India, Persia, Arabia, Greece, and Italy.

Food Travels: Spaghetti and Potato
yahskaelhdap@/TY
Traders and travellers introduced new crops to the lands they visited.
Noodles travelled from China to become spaghetti, or perhaps Arab traders took
pasta to fifth-century Sicily, an island now part of Italy. - Many of our
common foods, such as potatoes, soybeans, peanuts,corn, tomatoes, chilli
peppers, and sweet potatoes, were unknown to our ancestors until about five ago.
The introduction of the humble potato allowed Europe's poor to live better and
longer lives.
Ireland's poorest peasants became so dependent on potatoes that when disease
destroyed the crop in the mid-1840s, hundreds of thousands died of starvation.

Conquest, Disease, and Trade
yahskaelhdap@/margeleT
European sailors discovered a sea route to Asia and also successfully
crossed the western ocean to America.
Prior to its "discovery," America had been cut off from regular contact
with the rest of the world for millions of years.
Precious metals, particularly silver from mines located in present-day
Peru and Mexico, enhanced Europe's wealth and financed its trade
with Asia.
The Portuguese and Spanish conquest and colonisation of America was
decisively underway by the mid-sixteenth century.
The most potent weapon of the Spanish conquerors was the germs, such
as those of smallpox, that they carried on their person.
Due to their long isolation, America's original inhabitants had no

immunity against these diseases that came from Europe, and smallpox,
in particular, proved to be fatal.
