Roman trade indirectly contributed to the development of European colonialism. It had an impact of Medieval and Renaissance Europe when the eastern Mediterranean was a centre for trade with Arabia, Persia India and China like the Romans did. Because this trade was monopolized by the Italian Maritime Republics, the Portuguese explored the coasts of Africa in the Hope of finding an alternative route to India. America was discovered by accident during the quest of finding another alternative route to India. They were successful and established trading outposts in India, Sri Lanka, Indonesia and China. The Dutch later followed their footsteps and took over most of the Portuguese outpost. The French then fought each other over the control of India and North America.
The Romans also introduced new crops in areas of the empire. An example of this is the presence of grapes (and winemaking) in the southeast of England, Switzerland and southern Germany. Grape vines were introduced in these areas by the Romans.
