Write an essay of about 2 pages (about 600-800 words) about the Columbian Exchange.
Big History traces important threshold events that have helped shape our modern world. One of these events was the major cultural collision of the “Old World” by European explorers, conquerors, and colonists with the indigenous peoples of the “New World”. Write an essay that uses the concept of the Columbian Exchange to describe how this new global connectivity redefined cultures and created the globalized world in which we live today.
Be sure to describe what was traded (both good and bad) in each direction between the hemispheres. What are the outcomes of that interchange that we can see in the world today?
