Chapter 24 Part 1

The main overall topic of this chapter was globalization. I was kind of interested reading over this part because of how recent it was. I thought it was kind of funny how the used Barbie and Ken dolls to relate to current times. Thats how you could tell that we are nearing the end of history stuff. In our book, I mean. Anyways, accelerating global interaction, which was the title of the chapter, became really busy in the 1900s! Around the mid-1900s, countries interacting with each other for trade and stuff could not be helped and we started to think of the world market kind of as a whole thing. Not like separate countries had their own interactions just with each other anymore. Everyone was kind of in everyone else's business and that helped trade and globalization. I'm interested to learn more about what exactly the reglobalization period was.
