The Biggest change that occurred during the classical period (Blog 2)

I think the biggest change that occurred during the Classical period was that the cultures between the various countries were combined so they all could learn and exchange the knowledge and customs. A lot of the growth of each civilization was done with the help of each other by sharing new ideas and expanding the cultures of other civilizations. External trade was a major part of each civilization. The crops that were needed but not grown in one part of a region, might have been grown in abundance in another region, so they were able to trade or exchange with one another. For example, say India had a disease and needed certain herbs, due to India's climate, they couldn't grow the certain herbs they needed certain herbs, but China could grow these herbs. China is looking for some new spices for their food, but China's climate can't grow those spices, India can. So they say if you give us some spices we will give you some herbs. That is the basic trade. Trade from India stretched as far out as Southeast Asia. By exchanging with one another it grew bonds between those neighboring regions and it also expanded knowledge to each civilization.
