Why did the emphasis turn to seaborne trade after the fall of the Mongolian empire?

Mongol domination had kept political stability along the Silk Road (Pax Mongolica). With the fragmentation of their empire fights between the peoples along this road broke out. Warlords also took over lands of the decaying Byzantine Empire. The nomads, who had been the carriers along the route, were weakened due partly due to the encroachment of sedentary peoples and partly due to the Black Death. When the Ottoman Turks took over what was left of the Byzantine Empire they imposed a trade embargo with Western Europe, blocking access to the Silk Road. This led the western Europeans to look to the sea. The driving force behind this was the Portuguese naval explorations and their discovery of the sea route to India and China.

What kind of trade enriched Byzantine and helped it expand?
The Byzantine empire did not expand. The eastern part of the Roman Empire had already reached its greatest extent before the Byzantine period. The Byzantine empire actually lost many of its territories to the Slavs, Arabs and Turks. Byzantine Empire is a term which has been coined by historians to indicate the eastern part of the Roman Empire after the fall of the western part of this empire. The eastern part of the Roman Empire continued to exist for nearly 1,000 years after the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire. The people in question did not use this term. They called their empire Roman Empire or Romania (this referred to this empire and not the country which was later called Romania). There was trade with the Persia, China and northern India via the Silk Road (a network of roads which crossed Asia and has been named after the most precious commodity which was traded along the routes, Chinese silk). There was also seaborne trade with southern India which used the monsoons of the Indian Ocean and crossed the Red Sea to reach Egypt. Axum (Ethiopia) also thrived on the trade along the Red Sea, which included trade with the Byzantine Empire.
