Why the Europeans and not the Asians set out to explore the new sea routes?
The history that most Europeans have of early Asian exploration is extremely limited. There is strong evidence that they did as much (and possibly more) exploration as Europeans have done over the same period of time. The sea routes though for Europeans would be different then we would expect most Asian groups to have done.
Why Did The Europeans Seek Out New Trade Routes?
Europeans sought new trade routes primarily to access valuable commodities like spices, silk, and precious metals, which were highly sought after in Europe. The desire to bypass intermediaries and reduce costs, especially after the fall of Constantinople in 1453 and the subsequent rise of Ottoman control over land routes, further fueled this quest. Additionally, the spirit of exploration and the pursuit of wealth, coupled with advancements in navigation and shipbuilding, motivated European powers to discover new maritime pathways to Asia and beyond.

What was one problem with trade for the europeans?
One problem with trade for Europeans was the reliance on long and perilous maritime routes, which were often subject to piracy, adverse weather, and navigational challenges.

Why did Europeans look to find another way to the Orient?
Europeans sought alternative routes to the Orient primarily to access valuable goods like spices, silk, and precious metals, which were in high demand.

Additionally, the rise of the Ottoman Empire and its control over key trade routes heightened the urgency for Europeans to find sea routes to bypass these intermediaries. This quest for direct access ultimately fueled the Age of Exploration.
Why did the Europeans explorers need to search for new trade routes?
European explorers searched for new trade routes to bypass the Ottoman Empire's control over existing land trade routes, to access valuable goods like spices and silk directly from Asia, and to find new sources of wealth and power. Additionally, they were motivated by competition among European nations to establish colonies and control trade routes.

Did Britain control Persia in 1900?
No, Britain did not control Persia (modern-day Iran) in 1900, but it had significant influence over the country. The British government, along with Russia, had established spheres of influence in Persia, primarily to secure trade routes and protect their interests in the region. The Anglo-Persian Agreement of 1919 would later attempt to formalize British control, but in 1900, Persia remained an independent state, albeit with considerable foreign intervention in its affairs.
