Throughout history, globalization has had its positive and negative impacts on societies and the environments they live in. It began when Christopher Columbus discovered the New World.

The rate of people migrating toward the Americas created more underdeveloped countries...

First people leading to globalization and the extension on exchange were some European travelers like Henry the Navigator who went to West Africa, Columbus, and Vasco Da Gama.

The Indian Ocean Basin was hugely prominent creating tons and huge amounts of business sectors and cash...
