Globalization began with the Achaemenid dynasty in ancient Persia.\n\nAt its height, there were 70 million people in the empire, they affected all world trade and the Abrahamic and Dharmic religions.  \n\nThis is where economic, military and religious linkages begin to occur.\n\nFor a later starting point, try the conquest of the Americas, when Aztec and Inkan gold fund the expansion of several Western Asian maritime powers (Europe in common speak).\n\nWorld War 1, or the European Civil War as it should be known, opened up the possibilities that horrors and more horrors were to come.\n\nThe present phase of globalization, known as neoliberalism, began in the US with the defeat of Barry Goldwater, was exported to Chile in 1973 (by force), drew momentum from the oil and fiscal crises of the 1970's, the Latin American debt crises of the 1980's and the fall of the wall in the 1990's.

If I remember correctly that is because Europe was the first country to instate slavery and that was from the first European traders when they used to sail to china and stuff.  I am not sure but that is how I believe it all got started.

Whenever there is a need in a country from disasters the United States is there to lend a hand in whatever possible way. So, it is too much to count.

Africa...no question.\nThe USA only look after themselves.\n\nThe US doesn't give aid so much as cynically uses it's wealth to 'buy' global political advantage. It's never some altruistic humanitarian reason, they always demand something in return.

It's certainly true that remittances sent back by migrants is more than all the "aid" sent by governments and charities, and it's also less likely to end up in the pockets of western ex-pats and corrupt officials.

It already did start -- over 60 years ago!\n\nVery, very generally, I suppose most would say that it began when hitler invaded Poland in September 1939.  It isn't quite that simple, and many factors occurred that led up to that act, but that's the accepted answer for when it actually began.

I think that's true. I mean, look at the history of all the current wealthy countries today (United States, China, India, Argentina, etc). They were once consider a poverish nation and with leadership and trade laws, these countries flourish. Countries that are dependent on foreign aid will never get rid of poverty because the leaders of these countries are selfish and greedy. When countries donate money to poverish nations, it is up to the government of these poverish nations to distribute. Too bad the leaders of these poverish countries can take full advantage of this. They take in the foreign aid and usually never distribute to the people in need. Sometimes they steal foreign supplies and sell it in the market.

It's already started...but it's occurring in different parts of the world. Cause; the supposedly 'mature' states (yes...states) of the Western world.

This is very interesting. I suppose someday it's got to happen. I wonder when the US will require or appreciate aid from other well to do countries.

The first move towards the formation of Malaysia came in 1961 when the idea for the formation of a wider federation comprising the Federation of Malaya, Singapore, Sarawak, Sabah and Brunei was mooted by Tunku Abdul Rahman. Tunku's\n proposal was generally accepted by the people of malaya and Singapore but raised doubts in Sabah and Sarawak.However, the proposal was opposed by the Philippines as they asserted a claim over Sabah. The proposal also received opposition from Indonesia where it was viewed as a neo-colonialist plot by Sukarno and the powerful Indonesian Communist Party.The proposal also had an immediate effect of accelerating constitutional development in Sarawak, Sabah and Brunei. Elections were held for the first time in Brunei and in Sabah in 1962. A joint- Anglo-Malayan commission headed by a former of the bank of England, Lord Cobbold, visited sabah and Sarawakin 1962 and reported that the majority of the states favoured the formation of Malaysia.\n\n \n  \nHowever, continued Philippine and Indonesian opposition led to the sending of a United nations mission to Borneo in 1963, which also reported that the public opinion was in favour of joining Malaysia.\n\n \n  \nThus on 16 September 1963, the formation of Malaysia which consisted of the Federation of Malaya, Sabah, Sarawak and Singaore was formally promulgated.

No.  It started in Africa.  I mean, anything is possible, but why the government would want to play around with diseases is beyond me.  Realistically, no.

Normally they carry on diplomacy, ask, and it is considered by the member nations.\n\nIn reality, I think it's about money changing hands, and the promise that even more money will slide from palm to palm as time continues.

It was more a political move than anything else.  It was equipped with radio transmitters to show the world that the USSR did it first.
