Question

Which statement best describes trade in medieval Europe

Answer 1

The correct answer is Trade grew along trade routes, but most people only traded for needed items.

Explanation:

During the middle ages, trade slowly increased as nations in Europe expanded the production of goods and developed of trade routes including routes towards other European nations, the Middle East, Asia, and the North of Africa. Indeed during this period (5th to 15th century), European nations increased in wealth.

Despite this, most of the products that were traded were daily life products or needed items including textiles, agricultural products such as wheat, salt, honey, among others. Also, some non-essential products such as ivory or gold were traded during this period but most of the products were essential products.
