🏴‍☠️ European Exploration and Spice Trade

This paragraph discusses the historical context of European nations' exploration and trade ambitions starting from the 15th century. The fall of Constantinople to the Ottoman Turks and the subsequent blockage of traditional trade routes between Europe and Asia led to a quest for new maritime paths. The Spanish and Portuguese were pioneers in these endeavors, seeking new sources of spices in what they called 'the East.' The Tordesillas treaty of 1494 divided the world outside Europe into eastern and western spheres, with Portugal taking the east and Spain the west. The Spanish, under Christopher Columbus and later Ferdinand Magellan, explored the Americas and eventually reached the Philippines and the Moluccas in Indonesia. The arrival of the Spanish in the Moluccas sparked competition and conflict with the Portuguese, who had already established a trade monopoly there. This rivalry culminated in a war, with the Portuguese emerging victorious and the Spanish subsequently withdrawing from the region, as confirmed by the Treaty of Saragossa in 1578.
