Why did China export so much during the 15th century?

History

Alla [95]3 years ago

Eventually the Europeans, for reasons of their own, became reluctant to continue shipping so much silver to East Asia. This is largely because they preferred to hoard the silver so that they could use it to pay mercenaries in their ongoing wars. They started looking for something else to export to China and found that they were in a real bind because there were very few things that they produce more efficiently than the Chinese could. The thing that eventually filled the gap left when the Europeans tried to cut back on their silver shipments was opium.  

Opium served a whole series of functions for the British in particular. It helped make their new colony in India profitable by providing a very ready revenue source. It saved on the silver that they no longer wanted to ship and, of course, the story of the opium trade to China then gets us into a whole different period of world history and different kinds of links between China and the outside world.

Pull Factors: Factors that appeal to a person about the new location
In England, most people were peasants or tenant farmers who worked on more wealthy citizens land. There was not a lot of land and if it was for sale it was usually very expensive.
In the colonies, land seemed abundant. Many of the first settlers were given free land by a colony or purchased the land cheaply.
Native Americans were pushed out of land because the settlers did not understand how Native Americans viewed land.
The availability of land was a major reason many settlers came to the colonies.
Many colonists came as indentured servants.
Colonial landowners or businessmen would pay for the indentured servants travel to the colonies and in return the person would work for the landowner or businessman for an agreed upon length.
During the time the person was indentured, they gave up certain freedoms while they worked. It was very similar to slavery, but these people choose to become indentured servants and could eventually obtain freedom.
Once the debt was worked off, the indentured servant was free to start their own life in the colonies.
