Who made the spice system?

The spice system, also known as the spice trade, has its roots in ancient civilizations, but it was particularly developed by various cultures in Asia, such as the Chinese, Indians, and Arabs, who were instrumental in cultivating and trading spices. The system became more structured during the Middle Ages with the rise of trade routes, including the Silk Road and maritime routes connecting Europe, Asia, and Africa. European powers, especially during the Age of Exploration, further expanded and exploited the spice trade, establishing colonies and monopolies that shaped global commerce.
