Why did the Europeans want a new allwater route to Asia? How did the renaissance encourage voyages of exploration

History
1 answer:
zloy xaker [14]3 years ago
3 0
In 1453, when the Ottoman Turks took control of Constantinople and the surrounding areas, trade between Europe and Asia came to a complete halt, prompting the European nations to seek another route to their Asian trading partners; thus, they began looking for a sea route. The trip had always been fraught with danger, but Europeans no longer had access to products they had come to enjoy.

The only viable land route from Europe to Asia went through the Middle East and Turkey. Going further north through what would become Russia was even more dangerous than braving the robbers who would attack caravans in the Middle East.

Pepper and silk were two particularly popular products from Asia. Silk had been in high demand in Europe since the journeys of the explorer Marco Polo, and a network of traders from China, India, the Middle East and Italy would transport silk all the way to the European markets. The land route that traders had to take was known as the "Silk Road."

While England, Spain and Portugal were some of the most enthusiastic sponsors of early exploration, some of the most famed explorers like Christopher Columbus came from Italian cities like Genoa, which had long sent ships off to make trading expeditions.

How was the effect of imperialism on Latin America similar to its effect on China?
Sloan [31]

Answer:

C.)Latin America was commercially dominated by the United States. Similarly, China’s economy was controlled by Japan and other countries.

Explanation:

Imperialism is the practice by which powerful nations seek to extend and maintain control or influence over poorer nations or nations. American imperialism under Latin America came from a commercial perspective, in which nations became dependent on the American market to export their products, giving the US a power of influence to decide even on domestic issues in those countries. The same was true of Japanese imperialism under China. In the first half of the twentieth century, China was essentially rural and Japan was an influential power that dominated China commercially, even invading Chinese territories.
