Detailed Solution

India and China traded other countries' spices, silk, pottery, and minerals. The factories were not established in India but supplied materials to countries such as England. India and China are the oldest and oldest civilizations. To the people of Europe, it was the seat of great wealth and wisdom until the eighteenth century. Somewhere between the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, both countries became the names of the standing, ancient, weak nations in the eyes of Europe. In China, this happens between Voltaire's praise and Montesquieu's cool judgment; in India's case, it was the difference between Sir William Jones's desire to learn Indian things and James Mill's dismissal of Indian history as nothing but darkness.
