The second unit in AP World History: Modern is all about the inter-connectivity of the 1200-1450s. In this period the Afro-Eurasian world was already pretty well connected by the Silk Roads, Trans-Saharan Trade Routes, and Indian Ocean Trade Routes. But as the period progresses, it hinged on becoming a true global network as different regions in the next period (1450-1750) began to interact.
