Eastern Europe's and Islamic empires trade flourishment (1 Jan 501 Jahr – 1 Jan 0 Jahr)

Beschreibung:

While Western Europe's trade system was decreasing due to the fall of the Roman Empire (with traders often robbed or murdered for their goods when trading to Western Europe), the trade in the Byzantine Empire in Eastern Europe and a number of Islamic empires across Arabia was flourishing. Muslim sea traders began to push into the Indian Ocean and beyond. This lead to them having trade contacts in the Indies (Indonesia and Malaysia) in the 6th century, and 100 years later began trading with China.
