ABSTRACT The contribution of rural areas to the advent of globalization has been poorly explored from a historical perspective. In this paper, I explore how rural areas were involved in the shaping of colonialism and industrialization and contributed to globalization. The case study examined deviates from the pattern of self-sufficiency and situates the rural world at the epicentre of key historical processes of the recent past. This paper is primarily based on a farmhouse that played a significant role in these processes, despite its apparent isolation in the hills of the Basque Country, as it produced cider for ships involved in the colonial race and supplied nuts and iron ore for the British Industrial Revolution. With this case study, I hope to provide an example of a rural site that contributed to change in the wider world, while it was also being transformed itself.

摘要从历史的角度出发，对农村地区对全球化时代的贡献的探讨很少。在本文中，我探讨了农村地区如何参与殖民主义和工业化的形成并为全球化做出了贡献。该案例研究考察了偏离自给自足模式的情况，并将农村世界置于最近重要历史过程的中心。本文主要基于在这些过程中起着重要作用的农舍，尽管它在巴斯克地区的丘陵地区显然是孤立的，因为它为参加殖民地竞赛的船只生产了苹果酒，并为英国工业提供了坚果和铁矿石。革命。通过本案例研究，我希望提供一个农村地区的示例，该地区为整个世界的变化做出了贡献，
