That a big subject, but its really only foreign trade. One nation has something another nation does not. They find something each has and the other wants and exchange them(barter). I guess the definition of when it first started is when the first nation was born(actually 2 nations) Before that it would be exchanges between individuals, groups, tribes etc. I know in America the first would be Indians, they traded food for rocks to make arrowheads. Some trade also originated as smuggling.
