The Impact of Transoceanic Trade on Afro-Eurasian Culture, Religion, and the Arts

This lecture explores the extensive benefits Afro-Eurasia experienced from American food exchanges, contributing to nutritional diversity. European colonization led to deforestation and soil depletion in the Americas, yet increased profits funded the arts during the Renaissance. The spread of various religions such as Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, and Sikhism greatly influenced cultural dynamics across regions. The appreciation for miniature paintings, woodblock prints, and literary masterpieces like Shakespeare and Cervantes flourished, illustrating the profound effects of transoceanic trade on global culture and communication.
