__// Main Idea //__
Islam was able to expand a global network by connecting different parts of the world through military conquest and trade. As islam spread trade continued to grow and expand througout the world. Technology was also important, they were able to navigate and because of dwons naves could now move. In islam they were more likely to trade with people that had "stuff" in common with them, therefore people started to convert and accpeted islam so they could trade.
