Katie Barlow Miss. Kulik AP World Cultures Indian Ocean Essay The Indian Ocean Trade began roughly around the year 650 and ended in the year 1750. At the start of the trade it was an easy and simple bartering system. Because the trade was new there where no expectations and no one was turned away because of the goods they brought. Once people in the area got a taste for the new goods available through trade and the technology advanced so did the complexity of the system. Also the routes used to trade was kept relatively the same with the exceotion on new sea routes as boats began to advance and gained the ability to sail for a longer amount of time. These changes in trade cause for a urbanization of some areas along the coast that became economic centers.
