Eurasia and Africa had many changes and continuities from circa 300 C.E-1450 C.E. One change was that they developed a more advanced trade routes between Eurasia and Africa. Continuity was that they traded always for similar goods. Another change was how things were traded and delivered. Trade networks between Africa and Eurasia from 300 C.E.to 1450 C.E. had many changes and continuities.
A change was that they developed a more advance trade routes between Eurasia and Africa. For example, Africa’s trade route was the sub-Sahara desert were they used camels to carry their trading goods. Eurasia would exchange its goods through Europe to get to Africa. Even though Africa and Eurasia had many changes in their trade networks, they also had much continuity on trade.
One of the continuities that Africa and Eurasia had in common was that most of the time they exchanged for similar goods. Evidence that support this is that Africa had gold and would trade that good to Eurasia every time they exchanged for goods. Evidence that support this is that Africa had vast amounts of luxury goods that would always exchange these luxuries to Eurasia. In short, Afro-Eurasian trade shaped world history overly abundant from circa 300C.E-1450C.E.
Continuity was what things were traded and how they were delivered. Africa and Eurasia always traded or exchanged for the same goods. Africa’s and Eurasia’s trade network always included spices and gold in their trade.
Afro-Eurasian trade was very limited in circa 300 C.E. There were many communications with Mediterranean cultures and other European goods that were traded for African traditions,

such as high priced metals and spices. That also added to the volumes of goods and interactions in the Afro- Eurasian world that helped heighten trade all around. By 1450 C.E., trade networks between Africa and Eurasia became more intense and more complex.

The post-classical period (600-1450) included the long-distance trade from the European to the African kingdoms. However, there wasn’t any constant trading happening between the eastern and western hemisphere. On the other side, during the time frame after this (1450-1750), trading was constant with the western and eastern hemispheres now connected by sea-based travel. World trade patterns where happening due to the Atlantic Ocean trade eventually crossing of the Pacific Ocean. Trading began with small items and grew to even humans, slaves.

    The new contacts among Western Europe, Africa, and the Americas, lead to the economies improving as crops and food spread around. Economically, in the Americas, European colonists advanced from mining for silver, to farming for crops. All of the goods were traded with other countries. The triangular trade connected imports and exports of different goods mainly between North America, Africa, and Europe. The reason the Atlantic changed into a huge trading port was because many countries were overflowing with resources other countries would love to have. The countries would exchange their resources for another country’s. A vast part of the triangular trade was the Atlantic slave trade. As agriculture became more and more important in daily life, labor was becoming vital. Africa exported slaves to the West Indies and to North America.…

    In the case of iron, European iron was cheaper and easier to get than the iron produced internally. It also was of poorer quality meaning that it had to be replaced more often and it kept the trade cycle going. On the other hand, Africans made high quality iron and steel that they sold to the Europeans making it seem like Europeans were getting the better end of the deal. Similarly, Africans had an eye for fashion and bought European textiles in addition to their own manufactured clothes. The consumption of the clothes was at a high rate, meaning that they needed to replace them quite often which accounts for the European imports.…
