This vast ocean, both connecting and separating nations, has shaped many countries' cultures and ideologies through the movement of goods, people, ideas and religions across the sea.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Indian Ocean\u003c\/em\u003e moves from a discussion of physical elements, its shape, winds, currents and boundaries, to a history from pre-Islamic times to the modern period of European dominance.
