The Slave Trade1. Existed in Africa before the
coming of the Europeans.2. Portuguese replaced European
slaves with Africans.Sugar cane & sugar plantations.First boatload of African slaves brought by the Spanish in 1518.275,000 enslaved Africans exportedto other countries.
3. Between 16c & 19c, about 10 million Africans shipped to the Americas.

New Colonial Rivals1. Portugal lacked the
numbers and wealth to dominate trade in the Indian Ocean.
2. Spain in Asia consolidated its holdings in the Philippines.
3. First English expedition to the Indies in 1591.

New Colonial Rivals

Impact of European Expansion1. Native populations ravaged
by disease.2. Influx of gold, and
especially silver, into Europe created an inflationary economic climate.[“Price Revolution”]
3. New products introduced across the continents [“Columbian Exchange”].
4. Deepened colonial rivalries.

5. New Patterns of World Trade
![Page 37: The Age of Early European Exploration & Expansion](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102912/5681689b550346895ddf2bfe/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
The Price RevolutionUnprecedented inflation during
16th centuryCaused by
◦1. Population growth (Europe’s population doubled between 1460 & 1620)
◦2. Flow of silver into Europe from New World
![Page 38: The Age of Early European Exploration & Expansion](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102912/5681689b550346895ddf2bfe/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
The Effects of the Price Revolution in EnglandAs food prices increased, profit
incentive drove farmers to produce more food
Medieval farming vs. new incentives created by the price revolution
How landowners tried to transform their holdings into commercial agriculture:◦1. enclosure◦2. changed conditions of tenure
from copyhold to leasehold
![Page 39: The Age of Early European Exploration & Expansion](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102912/5681689b550346895ddf2bfe/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
The Effects of the Price Revolution in the NetherlandsDeveloped a new kind of farming—
convertible husbandry◦Replaced the old three-field system◦Alternated the planting of soil-
depleting cereals with the planting of soil-restoring legumes and grazing. 2 years—cereals, 3rd year—peas or
beans, next 4 or 5 years—pasture for grazing animals whose manure would restore the soil
Greatly increased productivity
![Page 40: The Age of Early European Exploration & Expansion](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102912/5681689b550346895ddf2bfe/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
The Expansion of Trade & IndustryRising demand stimulated trade
and industry. Demand was caused by◦Population growth◦Growing income of landlords &
merchants led to a demand for meat, cheese, fruit, wine, vegetables, sugar, & spices
◦Growth of the state led to increased demand for supplies
![Page 41: The Age of Early European Exploration & Expansion](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102912/5681689b550346895ddf2bfe/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
The Effects of the Price Revolution on Trade & Manufacturing
Specialization (Eng-wool, Fr & Neth-linen)Creation of regional or international
markets gave rise to the creation of merchant-capitalists◦ People whose operations extended across local &
national boundaries & whose mobility allowed them to buy or produce where costs were lowest and sell where prices were highest
◦ Example: the cottage industry or ”putting-out” system
◦ Significant step in evolution of capitalism because it bypassed the medieval guild system
![Page 42: The Age of Early European Exploration & Expansion](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102912/5681689b550346895ddf2bfe/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Innovations in BusinessMore sophisticated banking operations
Double-entry bookkeepingDevelopment of maritime insurance
Development of joint-stock companies

Patterns of Commercial DevelopmentEngland and Netherlands led commercial
expansion—Why?Netherlands
◦ Dutch feudal culture was weak and commercial values were strong
◦ Small land area◦ Far larger percentage of urban population than
elsewhere◦ Devised a new boat (flyboat) which allowed them to
carry bulky grain shipments for lowest cost◦ Dutch displaced the Portuguese in the spice trade
with East Indies
![Page 44: The Age of Early European Exploration & Expansion](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102912/5681689b550346895ddf2bfe/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
England◦The landed gentry supported commercial
enterprises and vice versa◦17th century the British established a
colonial empire◦Gov’t economic policies reflected the
interest of big business Navigation Act allowed all English shippers to
carry goods anywhere instead of restricting trade with certain areas to specific traders.
Also gained the carrying trade from the Dutch

France and Spain—neither took advantage of the opportunities presented by the price revolution like England and the Netherlands◦ Why?
Aristocratic structure of French society—French nobles looked down on commerce
Guilds restricted competition and production & in France there were fewer opportunities for merchant-capitalists to operate outside the guilds
Spanish values regarded business as a “form of social heresy.” They were contemptuous of commerce & industry.
Spain wasted money on its empire and Catholicism rather than on investing in economic expansion.
