1. European Trade Avoidance

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Reasons Europeans wanted to avoid trade via the Ottoman Empire: Europeans sought to bypass Ottoman-controlled trade routes to reduce dependence on Ottoman intermediaries, lower costs, and gain direct access to Asian goods (source content). This desire was driven by the desire for economic independence and to avoid Ottoman taxes and tariffs.

  • Impact of Ottoman control on European trade routes: Ottoman dominance over key land routes between Europe and Asia restricted European access to valuable goods, increased transportation costs, and created political and military barriers that hindered trade (source content).

  • Alternative trade routes sought by Europeans: Europeans explored maritime routes around Africa and across the Atlantic to establish direct access to Asian markets and resources, circumventing Ottoman-controlled land routes. Notable examples include the route around the Cape of Good Hope and transatlantic routes (source content).
