During the fifteenth century, trade patterns in the Afro-Eurasian world underwent significant changes due to the rise of maritime trade routes and the increasing influence of European powers. The establishment of direct sea routes to Asia, particularly by Portuguese explorers, facilitated the exchange of spices, silks, and other luxury goods, diminishing the role of overland Silk Road routes. Additionally, the expansion of the Ottoman Empire and the consolidation of trade networks in the Mediterranean and Indian Oceans allowed for greater connectivity between Europe, Africa, and Asia, leading to a more integrated global economy. These shifts laid the groundwork for the Age of Exploration and the eventual emergence of global trade systems.

What was 15th century life like in Transylvania?

During the Fifteenth Century the Islamic armies of the Ottoman Empire were steadily extending their power over much of what we now think of as Central Europe (Romania, Austria, the Czech territories, large parts of Greece).The large Christian kingdoms of the Holy Roman Empire were resisting the Muslim expansion: so there were constant vicious and bloody wars between Muslims and Christians more or less permanently.In Transylvania, and in many other parts of central Europe, the Fifteenth century was a time of chaos, massacre and religious atrocities on both sides. (Think of what Iraq or Afghanistan are like right now).There is an old Rutger Hauer film Flesh and Blood which is set in approximately this period: that might give you some idea of fifteenth century Transylvania (if your parents allow you to watch such stuff - it is pretty nasty).Or you could watch Luc Besson's Joan of Arc (or William Shakespeare's Richard III). They both cover the same period, but in France and England respectively. France and England were pretty messed up in the Fifteenth Century - Transylvania was even more messed up than that.
