By Alexis Ruiz

When Asia was the World Economy

When Islamic power rose, they were trying to unite the Mediterranean and Indian ocean.

During this time there were many merchants who brought goods from all over Asia.

Rulers paid tributes to the Islamic to allow a foreign merchant into their land.

The Portuguese government attacked the idea of an ocean belonging to someone.

In the end, the Portuguese were never able to completely attack the other kingdoms.

The Economic Culture of Drugs In the past it was Believed that drugs

were good for medicine and spiritually. It was during the seventeenth century

when people started to drink, smoke, and eat exotic plants.

For three years drugs were the most valuable agricultural good.

The Aztecs and Incas tried to prevent the seeds of drugs to spread into the Europeans so the drugs can become even more valuable.

In some countries, the drugs were used the same way as money.

It was the twentieth century that prohibited drugs and alcohol.

Aztec Traders Cozumel was one Trading center in the

Mesoamerica. The Aztecs had to carry all their goods

on their back because there were no animals that could.

It was the Pochteca that astonished the Spanish conquistadors, with there manner of trading in a square shape.

After the Spanish arrived, Aztecs did not continue to trade because the Aztecs didn’t think of money or property.

After the Spanish conquest, the Spanish ended the Aztec and Mayan political power.

Potatoes Potatoes were discovered by Spanish

soldiers in the Peruvian Andes in 1550. Potatoes were not worth much and was

hardly welcomed in the trade. The potatoes' was mostly grown

because it proved successful in high altitudes for some people.

The potato entered cuisine foods as a side dish for the Europeans and as a meal for the Indian slaves.

During the 1600 European food crisis, it was discovered that the potato could solve the food crisis .

Sweet Revolutions Sugar was domesticated in India by 300

B.C. Later Egyptian sugar was considered

the finest. Later Haiti became a sugar plantation

and a slave prison. In between 1500 and 1880, 10 million

Africans were shipped across the Atlantic; most of them were shipped to Haiti’s slave plantation.

During the French revolution, the Haiti use the chance to free themselves and took over the entire island.

The slave plantation was then separated into small lands for each Jacobin to own.

Where There’s Smoke… At the end of the sixteenth century,

Virginia was covered in cold fog as well as mosquitoes.

The people discovered there were starving people that look like bones.

It was discovered that most natives of Brazil, India and the Americas smoked tobacco.

Tupinamba Indians smoked tobacco and didn’t eat for three to four days.

It was thought that smoking tobacco could take them to the great beyond.

Tobacco became so famous later that it helped for Europe’s successful trading.

Mocca is not Chocolate Coffee was developed in 1400 by the

Yemeni city. The beverage was presently in the

Arabian peninsula. Coffee’s price was very high because

coffee became a luxurious drink. De la Roque purchased 600 tons of

coffee, but due to demand it took longer for people to get coffee, so de la roque’s purchased caused the price of coffee to rise even more.

De la Roques purchase of coffee took two and a half years to get it all back to the ottoman empire.

Mayans, later cacao by the Aztecs, it was called chocolate after the Spanish.

The cacao was first discovered in Mesoamerica.

Chocolate was greatly desired by the Aztecs. In the market chocolate was valuable and rare.
