  4. Period 2: 600 B.C.E. - 600 C.E. (Organization and reorganization of societies)  Indian Ocean Trade Route

  5. Sea Exchange • Nothing new • Begins with Mediterranean Sea trade • Participants = Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans • Italian city of Venice = major center of commerce

  6. Sea Exchange • Begins with Red Sea trade • Participants = Egyptians, Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Africans • Alexandria = major port and city of commerce

  7. Indian Ocean Exchange

  8. Indian Ocean Exchange • Like the Silk Roads, trade grew because of: • Environmental and cultural diversities in each region • Desire for goods not available at home • Same goods traded from each region as on the Silk Roads • Ex: silk and porcelain from China • Ex: ivory and gold from the African coast • Unlike the Silk Roads: transportation costs much lower • Ships could carry much more at one time than camels • Sea Roads carried more bulk and staple goods  not just luxury items like on the Silk Roads

  9. Monsoons • Made Indian Ocean exchange possible • Monsoons = alternating wind currents – winds predictable • Blow predictably eastward in summer months • Blow predictably westward in winter months

  10. Indian Ocean Exchange • Not between countries • Not between entire regions • IS between individual merchant towns

  11. Growth of Indian Ocean Trade • 2 major transformations occurred between 500 and 1500 that led to major growth of the Indian Ocean trade network • Economic and political revival of China • Rise of Islam in the 7th century

  12. China’s Comeback • 4 centuries after the collapse of the Han dynasty • Reestablished a unified government • Encouraged sea trade • Economic growth = allowed Chinese products to pour into trade networks • Technological innovations = larger ships; magnetic compass

  13. Rise of Islam • Islam = friendly to commercial life (unlike Confucianism) • Creation of an Arab Empire • Stretching from Atlantic Ocean to India • Brought together a wide range of economies in a single political system • Powerful and wealthy empire = continued to stimulate Indian Ocean trade

  14. Sea Roads = Change • Indian Ocean trade transformed ALL of its participants in one way or another • Major transformations to two regions: • Southeast Asia • East Africa • Both regions experienced: • Political change  rulers used wealth to construct larger states • Cultural change  exposure to new religions

  15. Southeast Asia & Srivijaya • Southeast Asia = between India and China • Its geography = allowed it to play an important role in Indian Ocean commerce • 350 CE = Malay sailors opened an all-water sea route between India and China through the straits of Malacca • Result = more traders and travelers in the region • Result = ports along Malay Peninsula competed to attract these traders

  16. TOD – February 15 • Answer the following questions on a post it: • Describe the similarities and differences between the Silk Road and Indian Ocean Trade Routes
