European merchants increased their trade with the Middle East due to the region's strategic location along key trade routes, which facilitated access to valuable goods such as spices, silk, and precious metals. The rise of the Ottoman Empire in the 15th century also played a significant role, as it unified large parts of the region and provided stability for trade. Additionally, the demand for luxury items in Europe fueled this commerce, leading to the establishment of new trade networks and partnerships.
