Detailed Solution

China and India were among the world's richest countries until the eighteenth century.
The local region favoured the Indian subcontinent, making it an essential point in trading networks. In addition, the Indian Ocean provided convenient transportation for traders. India and China traded spices, silk, pottery, and minerals with other countries. However, factories were not established in India but supplied materials to countries such as England. By 1700, the Indian subcontinent had become the largest economy in the world, ahead of China and Western Europe, which produced about a quarter of the world's gross domestic product. Thus India produced about 25% of the world's industries in the early 18th century.
