<em>"What were the causes and impact of increased Indian ocean trade in Post-Classical era?"</em>
Explanation:
Some of the causes of the increased Indian ocean trade during the Post-Classical era were<em> the increase volume of trade, the tremendous number of people involved and the various interactions happening from culture to culture.</em> The increase in the volume of trade was mainly due to the in<u>fluence of the Islam religion</u> which allowed the Muslim city-states to participate in the maritime trading. This then increased the items such as <em>gold, ivory and exotic animals</em> coming from southern Africa and the sub-Saharan. Due to new maritime technologies such as the compass and the used of "Junks" <em>(big trading ships</em>), larger cargoes could be transported and this assisted a faster way of trading in bulks. The "astrolabe" <em>(a celestial sphere)</em> was also introduced and this aided the sailors, especially in <em>preventing the</em><em> risks of maritime trade</em>.
As the Cold War between the Soviet Union and the United States intensified in the late 1940s and early 1950s, hysteria over the perceived threat posed by Communists in the U.S. became known as the Red Scare. (Communists were often referred to as “Reds” for their allegiance to the red Soviet flag.) The Red Scare led to a range of actions that had a profound and enduring effect on U.S. government and society. Federal employees were analyzed to determine whether they were sufficiently loyal to the government, and the House Un-American Activities Committee, as well as U.S. Senator Joseph R. McCarthy, investigated allegations of subversive elements in the government and the Hollywood film industry. The climate of fear and repression linked to the Red Scare finally began to ease by the late 1950s.
