Around 1500 is an important watershed in human history. What does this' important watershed' mean?
Around AD 1500, the Turkish Empire was established, which cut off the trade between East and West and forced the West to explore the ocean. First, the Cape of Good Hope was discovered, and then America was discovered, which was called geographical discovery in history, which opened the prelude to the era of great navigation. The west began the primitive accumulation of evil and plundered the colonies. This is a key turning point in the development of capitalism.
