Description:
The Colombian Exchange is the most important event in human history period. It set the stage for reformation, renaissance, revolution and industry. In a matter of ten years, it catapulted Europe from the periphery of global affairs to the centre. In the short term, it put Spain and Portugal into a position of such dominance in Europe that they would never be defeated in war for the next 100 years. It allowed unimaginable wealth to flow into Iberia, and set the world up for the "Spanish Century".
