22 World Trade

IN THIS CHAPTER

Summary:The manufactured goods of the industrialized West and the raw

materials used to produce them became a primary focus of world trade in the

period between 1750 and 1900. In the Atlantic world, trade largely revolved

around the plantation system and the economic exploitation of the newly

independent nations of Latin America (see Chapter 23). Methods of extract-

ing natural resources from subject nations changed as railroads and roads

were constructed to transport raw materials from the interior of colonies to

port areas for eventual transport to Europe. Instead of small, independent

farm plots owned and cultivated by native peoples, large plantations arose to

replace them. On these new agricultural units, native peoples of Africa, India,

and Southeast Asia produced crops necessary to the industrialized nations of

Europe.
