Question

what was the commercial revolution?

• a trade war between european countries following the colonization of the new world
• the decrease in global trade between europe, the americas, and africa
• an enormous change in the rules of commerce due to the columbian exchange
• the replacement of colonialism with mercantilism

Explanation:

The Commercial Revolution refers to the major shift in trade and economic systems that emerged after the Columbian Exchange, which connected Europe, the Americas, and Africa, creating new global trade networks, changing commercial rules, and spurring mercantilism. The other options are incorrect: it was not a trade war, it involved an increase (not decrease) in global trade, and it involved mercantilism alongside colonialism, not replacing it.

Answer:

an enormous change in the rules of commerce due to the Columbian Exchange
