| | Spice Trade (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13) |
 | | The most commonly traded spices that came from Southeast Asia and the Spice Islands were pepper, cinnamon, ginger, mace, nutmeg, and cloves. |
 | | Trade with the Americas was first stimulated by Christopher Columbus when he brought back valuable spices to Spain in 1493. |
 | | Without the trade of spices, silks, gold, silver, and slaves, the world would probably not be what it is today. |
