Hanseatic
League
I did a
research on the Hanseatic League it is a trade group, it is also called Hanse
or Hansa. North German towns Hamburg and Luebeck found this organization. The
Hansa was found in the middle of the thirteenth century. Back in the days trading
was dangerous and risky task so traveling together was the only way for the
merchants to travel safely. The trading between Hamburg and Luebeck merchants
made the other merchants of cities in north German to follow.
The
League power was increasing, more than two hundred cities and towns joined the
League. The Hanseatic League for four hundred years worked hard in shaping
economies and trading to not loss its significant. The League today brought
itself back to life, “ League was revived in 1980 in Zwolle, and set itself the
task of keeping alive the spirit of the League as a social and cultural
alliance”.
