• The two hemispheres are joined in sustained contact AND so world trade networks flourish- fewer people remain outside of its influence- process of real GLOBALIZATION begins
• Balance of power in the world shifts in favor of Western Europe
• Land based empires retain control and power through use of gunpowder (Ottomans, Safavids, Mughals)
• Labor systems transformed: slavery becomes central to world economy and expands to New World/ social systems established in Americas based on race
• Previously held belief systems are challenged (Reformation) while in some places reaffirmation of traditional beliefs=stability
• Population compositions change world wide (plague, contact with Americas, reconfiguration of family, role of women)
