Question

How did empire building from 1450 - 1750 change global interactions? Or how people lived?

Answer 1

Answer:

No other era is as easy to summarize as the EARLY MODERN (1450-1750) era.  This is the era the Europeans "wake-up", expand, and build empires.  I'm not talking about Charlemagne here.  I'm talking about the British Empire.  I'm talking about the Dutch East India Trading Company.  I'm talking about the Spanish Empire. This is a new Europe.  This isn't Marco Polo.  These Europeans will come to your land and stay there. They will take over most of the world in this era (if not, in the next).  Beyond the Maritime empires (and the effect of their establishment), many huge land empires emerged (most notably the Islamic Mughal and Ottoman Empires.  Of course, China is important.
