18 Trade Networks of Asia and Africa

19 Muslim Link in Trade By the 1500s, a complex trade network linked Africa, Europe, and Asia. Much of this trade passed through the Arabian Peninsula in the Middle East.

20 Muslim Link in Trade There, the religion of Islam emerged in the A.D. 600s through the prophet Muhammad. Islam spread rapidly through conquest and trade. Arab scholars made remarkable contributions to mathematics, medicine, and astronomy. Ship technology included large, triangular sails.

21 The African Link in Trade: East Africa
 The most powerful trade center in eastern Africa in the 1400s was Zimbabwe. The coastal city of Kilwa exchanged cloth, pottery, and manufactured goods for gold, ivory, and furs from Africa’s interior. The slave trade also developed between East Africa and Asia across the Indian Ocean.

22 The African Link in Trade: West Africa
Trade linked the Middle East and West Africa. Desert nomads guided caravans across the Sahara. Ghana was the first major trade center in West Africa. The trade in gold and salt made West African rulers rich. Under Mansa Musa, Mali’s great city of Timbuktu became a center of learning. The third of the great West African trading empires was Songhai.

24 The East Asian Link in Trade
China had a higher level of technology than any other civilization of the time. The invention of the magnetic compass allowed ships to lose sight of land and still return home safely. The explorer Zheng He visited 30 nations throughout Asia and Africa. Goods such as silks, bronze goods, pottery, and spices flowed west from China to Middle Eastern and European markets. The Silk Road was one of the greatest trade routes of ancient times. However, it declined in importance when alternate sea routes were discovered.
