20 March: Lecture by Prof. Schottenhammer in the Agorá “China and the Viceroyalty of Peru in the Early Modern Period – Some Comments on China’s Indirect Trans-Pacific Relations”
The early modern trans-Pacific relations are best known for the famous Manila galleons, which crossed the Pacific between Manila and Acapulco at regular intervals between 1565 and 1915. Large quantities of South American silver, e.g. from the mines in Potosí, then flowed to China via the Philippines. But not only silk found its way to Latin America in exchange. The talk will give some insights into the diverse, indirect relations between China and the Viceroyalty of Peru.
