Knowledge, scientific learning, and technology from the Classical, Islamic, and Asian worlds spread, facilitating European technological developments and innovation. The developments included the production of new tools, innovations in ship designs, and an improved understanding of regional wind and currents patterns—all of which made transoceanic travel and trade possible.

Explain how economic developments from 1450 to 1750 affected social structures over time.
The interconnection of the Eastern and Western Hemispheres, made possible by transoceanic voyaging, transformed trade and had a significant social impact on the world. Although the world's productive systems continued to be heavily centered on agriculture, there were changes to the systems of agriculture. - The demand for labor intensified as a result of the growing global demand for raw materials and finished products. - Traditional peasant agriculture increased/changed, plantations expanded, so the Atlantic slave trade increased. Empires achieved increased scope and influence around the world, shaping and being shaped by the diverse populations they incorporated.
Compare the methods by which various empires increased their influence from 1450 to 1750.

Explain the causes of the Columbian Exchange and its effects on the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. (4.3)
The new connections between the Eastern and Western Hemispheres resulted in the exchange of new plants, animals, and diseases, known as the Columbian Exchange. European colonization of the Americas led to the unintentional transfer of disease vectors, including smallpox, measles, and malaria. Some of these diseases substantially reduced the indigenous populations. American foods became staple crops in various parts of Europe, Asia, and Africa. Cash crops were grown primarily on plantations with coerced labor and were exported mostly to Europe and the Middle East. Afro-Eurasian fruit trees, grains, sugar, and domesticated animals were brought by Europeans to the Americas, while other foods were brought by African enslaved persons. Populations in Afro-Eurasia benefited nutritionally from the increased diversity of American food crops.

This political and religious conflict ended a period of almost constant fighting between the two empires. The war ended in a stalemate, as neither army was able to successfully press into the other's territory. It occurred because Ottomans were Sunni Muslim and Safavid were Shi'a Muslim. They put embargos on each other as well.
