How did the Spice trade change the world?

I think the first reason the spice trade changed the world is that if there was no spice trade, the world would not be the world now. It would be a half poor half rich world. Where there are spices, they would be living well. Where there are no spices, that country would be suffering. that is why Spice trade is important. The other reason Spice Trade was important is that without spice, foods will rot easily/faster and the peoples would suffer.
