AP World History: Modern
Unit 2 – Networks of Exchange (1200-1450)
Topic 2.3
What significant impact did Indian cotton goods have on Indian Ocean trade routes during medieval times?
Demand for cotton products caused a decrease in other types of goods traded along these routes because they monopolized market interest.
Cotton goods caused a disruption in trade due to their difficulty in transportation and storage.
High demand for these goods spurred increased trading activities on these maritime networks.
The effect was negligible as cotton textiles from India weren't considered valuable commodities then.
