The rise of Western Civilization derives from their ability to being adoptive to the time which contributes to its economic success and the advancements in technology. Technology and trade drive the rise of Western Civilization by giving being able to produce more, open quicker trade routes and lower the costs of transactions between nations. One common denominator while researching the rise of Western Civilization through 1500 would be the role of fire arm technology to aid in the exploration of the oceans creating prosperity for the West. Therefore, in the essay I will write about the prosperity that derived from the advancement of fire arms technology and the Great Transmutation of Western Civilization that came of it.

Mainly due to the fact of an increasing commercial and colonial rivalry in order have the safety and power to move freely amongst the ocean in exploration of new lands. Improvement as stated in (Kennedy, 1987, p. 29) that is derived from the arms race and the scramble to trade would be improved cartography, navigational tablets, new instruments like the telescope, barometer, back staff, and gimbaled compass, and better methods of ship building helped make maritime travel less unpredictable form of travel. Furthermore, due to the rapid expansion from trade an explosion of inquisition of improvement occurred such as the improvement of agricultural equipment in addition to the science of agriculture based on the new type of crops available. Similarly, the iron industry was making progress on becoming more efficient with its deep mining technics. As well as astronomy, medicine, physics, and engineering benefiting from the economic pace and enhanced value of science (Kennedy, 1987, p. 29). Due to the fact of seeing more and different commodities there was a development of people with the need to figure out new and improved way of doing …show more content…
Therefore, scientists bring their attention and knowledge to manufacturing. (History.com Staff, 2009)Industrialization marked a shift to powered, special-purpose machinery, factories and mass production. The iron and textile industries, along with the development of the steam engine, played central roles in the Industrial Revolution, which also saw improved systems of transportation, communication and banking. The above reasons drive the rise if Western Civilization.
The drive to the rise of Western Civilization has many contributing factors in which I have only named a few. In my opinion the most notable factor to the rise of Western Civilization is based on the innovation and creation that has come from conflict. The technology used to improve war machines is the same technology used toward manufacturing of goods on a consumer level. Even today technologies used in other applications are applied to unrelated goods. Therefore, the West directing their strength and knowledge to improvement ultimately drove the rise of Western
