Why did the trade routes between Europe and china change by the fifteenth century?
By the fifteenth century, trade routes between Europe and China shifted primarily due to the rise of maritime exploration and the emergence of new sea routes. The fall of the Mongol Empire disrupted overland trade, prompting European powers to seek direct access to Asian goods via sea. Advances in navigation technology and the desire for spices, silk, and other valuable commodities led to expeditions, such as those by Portugal and Spain, ultimately establishing new trade networks that bypassed traditional land routes. Additionally, the Ottoman Empire's control over key land routes further incentivized Europeans to explore oceanic alternatives.
