To what extent were the middle ages a time of globalization?

The Middle Ages had processes similar to globalization, but in truth, they were more of a regionalization.

Explanation:

The Middle Ages were a period where there were several attempts for globalization, with varying success. Now on one side, we can say globalization because of the amount of knowledge the people had about the world, but in reality, it was more of a regionalization.

We can see these processes occurring in both the Old World and the New World. In the Old World, it was more prominent. The biggest impact of some form of globalization had the Mongol Empire, as it occupied the most territory, resurrected the Silk Road, and prompted trade and exchange of ideas and technology over most of Eurasia, but also Northern Africa.

In the New World, there was something similar going on with the rise of the Incan Empire. It connected both sides of the Andes and prompted trade between the interior of the continent and the Pacific coast. Also, it seems that there has been some connection with Mesoamerica as well, which will make it on an even large scale, but still only regionally.
