These regions were fairly independent form one another, especially China. They had some connection, but not one of an integral nature.
3. International Trade One of the first steps the world took toward sharing new ideas was the growth of an international trade market. Merchants bought and sold goods from many different countries and empires, introducing them to the markets in their home countries. Then religion, philosophies, trade secrets, ideas of all kinds spread even more as time passed and trading increased.
4. The Post-Classical Period During the Post-Classical period, much of the world was beginning to merge and combine. Cultures, religions, goods, philosophies, and knowledge spread due to the growth of trade. Ideas moved and came to people. There was one man who truly epitomized this world integration and went to the new cultures. He was a traveler, Abu Abdullah Muhammad Ibn Battuta.
