Portugal and Spain initiated modern globalization. What is the influence of the new air route?

The impact of the opening of the new route on globalization is to break the isolation of the world's continents and promote global ties.

In medieval China, there was a concept of trading with the West, and a large amount of foreign exchange was earned by exporting silk and tea, so German scholars in the18th century named this road the Silk Road. Later, the Ottoman Turkish Empire rose and trade was blocked. In order to be worthy of the Turks, western European countries explored the sea to find a new Silk Road, which is called the great geographical discovery, which can be described as the beginning of early globalization.
