🌏 The TRUE First Globalization: How massive Spanish ships, built by Asian hands, created a permanent economic link between the Americas and Asia decades before the Mayflower.

💰 The Silver Super-Highway: How Mexican silver pesos became the world's first global currency, fueling economies from Manila to Canton and shaping the rise of European power.

🍜 The Original Fusion Cuisine: How Mexican chili peppers revolutionized Asian cooking, and how Asian mangoes, tamarind, and even words like "palay" (rice plant) embedded themselves in Latin America.
