A map of the land trade route from Europe to Asia along the Silk Road. Image credit: M’ ships brought Europeans valuable goods, traveling between the port cities of western Europe and the East from the 10th century on along routes collectively labeled the Silk Road. However, transporting goods along the Silk Road was costly, slow, and unprofitable. Muslim middlemen collected taxes as the goods changed hands. Robbers waited to ambush treasure-laden caravans.
As well as seeking a water passage to the wealthy cities of the East, sailors wanted to find a route to the exotic and wealthy Spice Islands in modern-day Indonesia, whose location was kept secret by Muslim rulers. The lure of profit pushed explorers to seek new trade routes to the Spice Islands and to eliminate Muslim middlemen.

Answer:

c. Sent many Japanese abroad to be educated in the ways of the west and adopted many western reforms in political and military organization.

Explanation:

The Meiji Reformation was a time in the history of Japan that brought the biggest change in the nation's political as well as military scene. This period of change made Japan into a modern nation-state.

This period began in 1868 after the emperor adopted the Charter Oath that gave him the power to make changes to the nation. Japan had seen and observed that the most powerful nation, China, had been defeated by the Western powers. And so, Japan decided that it must try to be the same as western nations if she is to be safe from any attacks. This was what primarily led to the Meiji Restoration.

Japan then began welcoming western technology and merchants into the nation. The scholars and government began adopting western methods, including the many reforms regarding the military as well as political spheres. According to Japan, the only way to defeat western power is to be like them, equal to them in every form.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
