The Ottoman Empire dominated trade routes between Europe/the Mediterranean and Asia. It had a virtual monopoly over these trade routes from the early 1400s through the early 1500s. However, by 1500 European ships had become ocean-worthy and sailors (beginning with da Gama) found the sea route to Asia around the southern cape of Africa. Though the land route to Asia through Ottoman territory was shorter and more direct, the ocean route around Africa could be faster and was not vulnerable to blockade by the Turks. The Ottoman Empire gradually lost some of its wealth due to the shifting trade, but it remained the singlest greatest power in Eastern Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean until the late 1600s.

<span>So, the most important impact of the Ottoman Empire on global trade was that its power in the 1400s and 1500s forced European nations to invest in ocean-going navigation and exploration in order to sail to Asia rather than go through Ottoman land routes.</span>

professor190 [17]

Due to its geographical location, there was actually very little fighting in the territory that belonged to the state of Florida. As the major battles were fought in the northern state of Tenessee and Virginia. On the other hand, because of its favorable weather for agriculture, Florida was a main supplier of goods to the Confederacy troops. This became increasingly important throughout the war, as the naval blockade executed by the Union, prevented the southern states to get sources easily.

Union vs Confederacy

disa [49]

Answer:

Read the below

Explanation:

The union was industrial as they had tons of factories producing war supplies and the Confedracy was Agricultural since they used slaves to do all the work and the Union had the largest cities as they owned New York city, Philiedlphia etc, the Union had the larger army as they had the larger population, the Union had the larger Navy as they were the ones to use Iron Clads to blockade the South, they both were Americans and wanted the better for America ( as they see it ) They both wanted to isolate themselves from the rest of the world, and they both wanted to restore the Union under there control. The southern states depended on the slaves and weren't just gonna let them go just cause the unions says so, and the Union wants to preserve the union and make it slave free. Union values democracy and freedom for all, as the South values White supremacy, the purpose of the war was really to see if slavery exists in the United states of america or not.
