Detailed Solution

The world “shrank in the 1500s” due to the discovery of sea routes to Asia, Africa and the discovery of America. It became easier to travel to these continents. The discovery of these sea routes increased the trade between Asia and Africa. The Indian subcontinent was central to these trade flows and a crucial point in their networks.
