Globalization: The Expansion of Large Empires

Globalization is best defined as global interaction with distant people who are influenced by cultural exchanges. Globalization dates back to the early 1950s and is still dominant today. Early civilization never left isolated from neighbors, leaving the door to intercultural communication. Through expansion, trade, revolution, ideology and technology of the empire, globalization has played an important role in history and has formed the world today, it is one of the most important phenomena in history.

The Spanish Empire was the first world empire. It is also one of the greatest empires in world history. Spain and Portugal in the 16th century were pioneers of global exploration in Europe and colonial expansion. Conquest and the two kingdoms of the Iberian Peninsula competed against each other and opened a trade route across the sea. When Castilla conquered the Canary Islands and was completed in 1495, the conquest of the Spanish Empire and colonization began in Canada's archipelago in 1312 and 1402.

The rapid expansion of the Arab Empire during the first centuries of Muslims in the Arabian Peninsula and the conquest of Muslims formed one of the most important empires in the history of the world. Regarding the body of this new empire, the Sassanid dynasty buried with the Byzantine body, which had been sharply reduced in the past, has not changed so much in fact. Because the Arabian Peninsula lacks land and water resources, the purpose of conquest is the most practical. Therefore, true Islamization will only appear in the next century.

The expansion of the Arab Empire in the beginning of the sixth century brought about the creation of a new religion called Islam. Religion began in the Arabian Peninsula, spread to many neighborhoods under the guidance of the Prophet Muhammad, and eventually included many empires that dominated worldwide theaters at the end. The Prophet Muhammad founded Islam in the early sixth century. Beginning in AD 613, Muhammad began spreading his new religion publicly, and many believers, especially many of whom got young people from a powerful family. In 622 AD, Muhammad began to establish an Islamic community in the Medina. Here, he wrote the "Medina Constitution", a set of guidelines for urban people, and therefore established the first official Islamic state. In 630 AD, Muhammad succeeded in establishing a Muslim town in Mecca (his birth place) after the war of about six years with local heathen citizens.
