In Afonso de Albuquerque’s book, he have say, “This was the best place to intercept the trade... we would close the Straits so that never again would the Muslims be able to bring their spices by this route... I am very sure that, if this Malacca trade is taken out of their hands, Cairo and Mecca will be completely lost.” This address how the Portuguese are taking out the Muslims from the trade routes.

In the 1500’s and 1600’s, Europe dived into an era of exploration of new trade routes. Exploration carried out by explorers like Cortes, Diaz and Da Gama led Europe into new lands. The main motivations of these explorers were to gather spices and gold. Their countries were infatuated with the spices of Asia and with precious metals. Religion was not the main motivation for European exploration during the 15th and 16th centuries; however, the search for wealth was.

During the time period of 600 CE to 1450 CE, people on the Indian Ocean sea lanes and on the Eurasian Silk Roads traded luxury items and used their new technology to help trade prosper. Although they were both trade routes, the Indian Ocean sea lanes traded overseas and the Eurasian Silk Roads were land routes. Indian Ocean sea lanes connect Southeast Asia, India, Arabia, and East Africa. The Eurasian Silk Roads connected East and West China to the Mediterranean. Trade was greatly increasing in these two trade routes around this time.

Trade routes were one of the most important characteristics of the global economic system. During this period, there were several trade routes that resulted in the discovery of new lands. In document 1, it shows Europeans exploring along the coasts of Africa, North America, South America, and Asia. This happened during 1420through 1542.

Ashoka became a Buddhist and worked on spreading the beliefs and faith throughout his reign. Ashoka is considered to be either a ruthless warrior or an enlightened ruler.

During this period, innovations in ship building and knowledge on the sea made long travels possible. More people started exploring, searching for new information and wealth. Vasco da Gama and his expedition were exploring a sea route to India. Vasco da Gama said, “...they needed not what was to be found in this country...but desired to be his friend and brother.” (Doc 4) Vasco da Gama had been sent by the king of Portugal claiming that the king had wanted to improve his relationship with India.
As mentioned before, Vasco da Gama established trading ports along the East African coast to participate in trade in the Indian Ocean Basin, in efforts to avoid the Arabs. Like da Gama, Columbus set sail to find direct trade routes with India; in Columbus’s efforts to find India, he miscalculated and landed in the Bahamas, unintentionally opening another door for colonization. Nonetheless, these events would not have happened if it were not for the

‘Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening,’ ‘Birches,’ and ‘Mowing’” (Rukhaya). The woods can also dually represent self-reliance and nonconformity. By acknowledging his choice in the woods alone, the traveler shows that he is willing to “oppose social norms” (Rukhaya) and rely on his own instinct to come to a decision. As an extended metaphor for choice, it makes sense that the roads represent the journey of life and decision. There are two roads, two choices, and two representations of decision.
