十六世紀初期以後,東西交通的主要新航路均已發现。這種發現的重要意義正如馬克思恩格斯在共產黨宣言中所指出:‘美洲以及環繞非洲航路底發現,給興起着的資産陛級開闢了新的活動場所’。一些西方國家也就隨着這種新世界新航路的發現。以國家的武裝商隊,用海盗暴力的辦法。到全世界去抢掠財富,並將其流回本國轉化爲資本,成爲原始積累的主要要素。葡萄牙、西班牙、荷蘭、英國等正是這樣的國家。它們都進行了這種掠奪過程,在全世界用搶劫金銀奴隸等辦法掠奪海外財富以積累本國的資本。它 Since the early sixteenth century, major new routes for both east and west traffic have been discovered.
