| Descripción: | The arrival of the Spaniards and the subsequent colonization of the archipelago of the Philippines during the second half of the sixteenth century, began the journey between the city of Manila and the port of Acapulco in Mexico. The opening of this maritime route inaugurates an era in which, for the first time, world trade is globalized through structured exchange networks. Previously the Portuguese had established a trade route between Europe and India and China. But, with the Manila galleon route across the Pacific, East Asia is linked to America and is integrated into the monetary flow generated by the production of silver in Spanish America. In exchange, a large number of oriental goods flood the ports of the Spanish colonies in America. In turn, New Spain merchants acquire a central role in the exchanges between Mexico with Central America and the Viceroyalty of Peru, as well as with the East through the Manila galleon route. This commercial route would prevail for 250 years. There would also be numerous migratory flows and the spread of crops of American origin in East Asia. |
