Answer:

Long-distance trade played a major role in the cultural, religious, and artistic exchanges that took place between the major centers of civilization in Europe and Asia during antiquity. Some of these trade routes had been in use for centuries, but by the beginning of the first century A.D., merchants, diplomats, and travelers could (in theory) cross the ancient world from Britain and Spain in the west to China and Japan in the east. The trade routes served principally to transfer raw materials, foodstuffs, and luxury goods from areas with surpluses to others where they were in short supply. Some areas had a monopoly on certain materials or goods. China, for example, supplied West Asia and the Mediterranean world with silk, while spices were obtained principally from South Asia. These goods were transported over vast distances— either by pack animals overland or by seagoing ships—along the Silk and Spice Routes, which were the main arteries of contact between the various ancient empires of the Old World. Another important trade route, known as the Incense Route, was controlled by the Arabs, who brought frankincense and myrrh by camel caravan from South Arabia.

Cities along these trade routes grew rich providing services to merchants and acting as international marketplaces. Some, like Palmyra and Petra on the fringes of the Syrian Desert, flourished mainly as centers of trade supplying merchant caravans and policing the trade routes. They also became cultural and artistic centers, where peoples of different ethnic and cultural backgrounds could meet and intermingle.

The trade routes were the communications highways of the ancient world. New inventions, religious beliefs, artistic styles, languages, and social customs, as well as goods and raw materials, were transmitted by people moving from one place to another to conduct business. These connections are reflected, for example, in the sculptural styles of Gandhara (modern-day Pakistan and northern India) and Gaul (modern-day France), both influenced by the Hellenistic styles popularized by the Romans.

¿Por qué la sociedad que surgió después de la revolución era más igualitaria, pero seguía siendo profundamente desigual en otros
Stolb23 [73]

La respuesta correcta para esta pregunta abierta es la siguiente.

Desafortunadamente, no especificas a qué país te estás refiriendo.

Hubo muchas revoluciones en el mundo y en Latinoamérica. La Revolución Francesa, la Revolución Rusa, la Revolución Mexicana. ¿A cuál te refieres?

Como no especificas a qué país te refieres, vamos a responder tu pregunta en términos generales.

¿Por qué la sociedad que surgió después de la revolución era más igualitaria, pero seguía siendo profundamente desigual en otros aspectos?

La sociedad que surgió después de la revolución era más igualitaria, pero seguía siendo profundamente desigual en otros aspectos, debido a que el movimiento revolucionario hizo posible la destitución de los dictadores que sólo favorecían la burguesía y a la aristocracia(los hombres del dinero), pero oprimían a la clase baja, que cada día se volvía más pobre.

Sin embargo, el hecho de que sacaran del poder a esos dictadores y autoritarios gobernantes, no significó un verdadero cambio en la calidad de vida de los indígenas revolucionarios o de los miembros de clase baja.

Lo que siguió a los movimientos revolucionarios fue una lucha interna por el poder, en la que los caudillos se pelearon entre sí por llegar al poder, olvidándose de las causas justas y nobles que en un principio los habían llevado a tomar las armas para derrocar a los gobiernos autoritarios.

Tristemente, la justicia, el empleo y la ayuda al campo, nunca llegó a los indígenas ni a la clase baja.
