The Manila Galleon: How Spain's Silver Shipments Shaped Asia
In this episode, Lucas and Luna dive into the Manila Galleon trade, the annual voyage that carried silver from the Americas to Asia and returned with silk, porcelain, and spices. They explore the brutal reality of the Acapulco-to-Manila route, the role of the Real de a ocho, the Parián market in Manila, and the quiet impact on Ming China's economy. From the tornaviaje to the final galleon in 1815, they trace how one shipping line connected continents and helped globalize the world.
