Why could Europeans no longer travel over land to the east to get spices?
Europeans could no longer travel over land to the east to get spices due to the rise of the Ottoman Empire, which controlled key trade routes and imposed high taxes on goods. Additionally, the increased instability and conflict in the region, particularly after the fall of Constantinople in 1453, made overland travel dangerous. This led Europeans to seek alternative maritime routes to access the spice trade, ultimately resulting in the Age of Exploration.
How did early Europeans travel?
Early Europeans primarily traveled by foot, horseback, or using animal-drawn vehicles like carts and wagons. Rivers and coastal waters were also vital for transport, with boats and ships facilitating trade and travel. Overland routes often followed established paths or trade routes, such as the Roman roads, which enhanced connectivity across regions. As technology progressed, innovations like the wheel and later, the sail, significantly improved travel efficiency.
Why do you think europeans wanted to travel to distant lands?

Additionally, advancements in navigation technology and a spirit of exploration fueled curiosity about the world beyond Europe. These factors combined to drive European exploration during the Age of Discovery.
