What did the hanseatic league control?

Answer 1

It was involved with trading and merchant shipping. It existed from 1241 AD to 1934 AD when it was permanently closed down by the Hitler government, who did not like multi-national commercial alliances for obvious reasons. It was the longest-lived multi-national Transportation Organization of all time, and in comparison the Cunard Line and Italian Line seem like overnight hikers.

Answer 2

The Hanseatic League controlled trade in the Baltic Sea and North Sea regions during the medieval period. It formed a network of merchant guilds and dominated trade routes, establishing their own trading posts and warehouses in various cities along the coast. They regulated and protected their merchants' interests, ensuring the flow of goods and maximizing their profits.
