History of international trade:

2. From the content point of view, the international trade during the industrial revolution had occasional, simple and one-sided labor export or commodity export, and most of the commodities involved in trade were industrial finished products and primary raw materials. After World War II, international trade has various forms and rich commodity levels, covering three major industries.

After World War II, the WTO was established to coordinate trade between countries and formulate trade principles. Multinational companies basically monopolized international trade and had a fine division of labor.
