Lately, I had found an interesting TV documentary about world history, especially regarding overseas trade in the Middle Ages. Actually, it consists of totally 4 works and each film has its own specific topic about overseas trade. They are pepper (and other spices), sugarcane, cotton and tea. The first two of them were already broadcasted last week and the other two series are going to be on air this week. About 500~600 years ago, the center of world was ASIA. China, Arabia and India were especially main countries and they conquered overseas trade among other European and Asian countries. Then, Portugal and England had begun to have an attention to overseas trade since they thought that it would give a numerous wealth.
