The colonisation of Americas took place in the mid-sixteenth century. It was, however, not due to superior military strength of the Spanish conquerors. It was primarily due to the global transfer of disease that helped in the colonisation of the Americas. The spaniards carried on their person, the germs such as those of small-pox into the Americas. The local inhabitants had no immunity against these diseases due to their long isolation. It resulted in spread of these diseases in the continent.

(a) Asia: The silk routes are an example of global exchanges which took place between distant parts of the world’ The West-bound Chinese silk cargoes were sent through these routes. Many silk routes have been identified which linked vast areas of Asia with Europe northern Africa. These routes have existed much before the Christian Era and were used till the fifteenth century. These routes were used for Chinese pottery and textiles and spices from India and Southeast Asia. In return, precious metals – gold and silver – flowed from Europe to Asia”. Trade and cultural exchange always went hand in hand. That is why the Christian missionaries, Muslim preachers too travelled along these routes” In ancient times, Buddhism spread in different directions through intersecting points on the silk routes.

The reckless exploitation of resources may lead to their exhaustion and may damage the environment In such a situation what will happen if no natural resources are available? It will hamper the development process in all the countries in the world because fossil fuels and minerals are essential for development. The reckless use of minerals may disturb the balance in nature. This, it necessary to use resources judiciously for development and to adopt a strategy.
