<span>The
expansion of the Ottoman empire,in particular their capture of
Constantinople in 1453,cut off Europe from traditional overland trade
routes east.This meant these land routes had to bypassed if Europeans
were to get the spices,silk,and other Eastern trade goods they
needed,and the only way to do this was by sea. Hope that helps</span>
The growth of the silk road was greatly impacted by the growth in technology specifically modes of transportation. As the ability to move from place to place improved more trips were made and therefore the increase of trade products and use of the silk road took place.
Greek theatres were open air structures, built on hillsides. The seats were in rows in a semi circle with the stage at ground level. the actors wore large masks and wore bright colours or dark. the Greeks took the entertainment seriously.
