But basically, as the European world in the 15, 16, 17 hundreds starts to grow and modernize, its need for those scarce resources are going to create a desire to create even more trade routes. So that's going to develop into really mercantilism, which is kind of an economic model. Nations in Europe are imperialistic as they grow hungrier for that scarcity to fill their bellies with gold and sugar and rubber and all those things that make us go, you know, choo-choo. And first, you know, you have the Columbian Exchange, Columbus, remember? You know, kind of the Columbian Exchange of finding out, you know, that the new world has all these new cool things like corn and, you know, pineapples and tobacco. That's going to cause even more pressure to create even more trade routes. And then you get mercantilism and triangular trade.
