Emerging countries increasing sea routes to trade (1 ene 1401 año – 1 ene 1600 año)

Descripción:

In the 15th and 16th century emerging nations around the world opened sea routes, all eager to increase their trade and expand their territories. This means that they must find new markets and faster ways to reach them. Trade along the Silk Road became slow, expansive and the Mongol Empire had weakened, meaning traders were no longer protected when using it.
