To what extent were the middle ages a time of globalization?

MAKE A PARGRAPH ABOUT It

On an almost negligible level.

Explanation:

Globalization implies a process of free movement of people and goods, and it is primarily an economic doctrine. Medieval states were fairly closed societies, so that globalization rarely existed. Scientists think that the original forms of globalization did not appear until the 16th century. Globalization during the Middle Ages can only be found to a small extent. Italian trading cities are a good example. They traded largely outside the borders of Italy and established good trade connections with other countries.

that would be the steamboat because none of the other things are forms of transportation

use wikipedia, i think they have this.
