2) Reflect on the contents of the essay. What will be new/change about the path of history in this coming era? What do you think will continue/stay the same?
One thing that will stay the same in this coming era is the transportation networks. From before, there was trans-Saharan trade, the Silk Road, and Indian Ocean trade. While this would continue into the next era, a change is the expansion of transportation networks. There would be new transportation networks in the form of sea lanes linking the Indian Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, and Pacific Ocean. Another change is the exportation of slaves to the western hemisphere. Another change is that Europe will begin to play a more prominent role in world affairs compared to their ancestors.
