The Spice Islands, primarily present-day Indonesia, were rich in valuable spices such as cloves, nutmeg, and mace, which were highly sought after in both the Indian ocean and Eurasian trade networks. Their unique spices fueled a lucrative trade, attracting merchants from various regions, including Arab traders, Indian seafarers, and later European explorers.
