Intro to the Early Modern World

           The Early Modern World resembles the significance of globalization, elements that make up modern societies, and the influence of European presence worldwide.
           Globalization is essentially the process in which businesses and other organizations develop international influence or start operating on an international scale. This is shown when the Columbian exchange begins, transferring massive amounts of plants, animals, diseases, and people as well. This resulted in a whole new network of interactions across both the Atlantic and the Pacific Ocean. Globalization also occurred when missionaries spread Christianity far beyond Europe, forcing it to become a worldwide religion.
            Some elements of modernity include the increase of population as well as housing, which allows cities to grow and become more urbanized. People will often find themselves working at distant markets, rather than working in their local communities. The New World started when people soon began to destroy forests, marshes, hunting grounds, and grazing lands, all for the benefit of farming and ranching.
             The Europeans were soon to dominate the world when they began to force others into their religion of Christianity. This Early Modern World allows us to see when and how history decided to change itself and transition into a New World.
