Goods that the Europeans desired from China?
The European Colonialists tried to exploit China as much as they could. They coveted goods such as silk and tea, among other items. They had an interest in the poppy seed and its use to make opium products. The opium could have medicinal uses as heroin, for example. Chinese porcelain was also valued by Great Britain and other European countries.
Why did European overseas empires crumble after World War 2?
Generally speaking, only financially strong nations can afford to have an extensive empire of colonies. France and England were economically devastated by WW 2. This prevented them from taking an interest in their colonies, and the total disruption of world affairs seemed to help many colonies like India break free from European domination.
How did these changes help lead to the European Age of Exploration?
During the middle ages. Europeans had done little exploring beyond their own shores.Except for the Holy land, they they had very little knowledge of. or interest in, other lands. During the Reinassance , however, Europeans became curious about the world around them. This lead to an interest in science and technology. It also led to the age of Exploration. Hope i helped..
