This discovery sparked a series of expeditions, transforming global trade and leading to a period of intense competition among European powers for control over these valuable resources.

Hai
[Musik]
nama saya Yoga is balik lagi di channel
sejarah kesayangan Kalian nih kali ini
kita bahas mengenai rempah-rempah yang
merupakan target utama pelayaran bangsa
Eropa ke nusantara
sejak dulu kala bangsa kita terkenal
akan kekayaan alamnya terkhusus kekayaan
rempah-rempah yang kita punya walaupun
akhirnya kita menderita penjajahan
gara-gara rempah Ya seperti kita semua
tahu Roro Eropa datang ke nusantara nya
untuk mencari rempah-rempah berkualitas
rempah-rempah yang biasa kita pakai
berguna sebagai bumbu penyedap makanan
dan juga berkhasiat menyehatkan tubuh By
the way kalian tahu enggak guys Apa
kegunaan rempah-rempah bagi orang-orang
Eropa kebanyakan orang-orang Eropa zaman
dulu menggunakan rempah-rempah sebagai
bahan pengawet makanan
Hai jika kita membuka peta letak benua
Eropa berada di belahan bumi utara yang
beriklim subtropis hingga iklim dingin
hal ini membuat benua Eropa bersuhu
sejuk hingga dingin serta mendapatkan
empat musim dalam setahun
ketika musim dingin mereka tidak bisa
mengandalkan pertanian dan peternakan
sebagai sumber makanan jadi mau nggak
mau mereka harus menyediakan stok
makanan untuk musim dingin jika tidak
mereka bisa mati kelaparan guys yang
harum aja dulu kan belum ada kulkas buat
nyimpen makanan
sebelum musim dingin mereka memanen
hasil pertanian dan memotong hewan
ternak biasanya mereka menyimpan daging
beku ketika musim dingin dengan
menambahkan bahan pengawet agar daging
bertahan lama hingga berbulan-bulan
pengawet yang mereka gunakan yaitu garam
dan rempah-rempah Nah inilah fungsi
rempah-rempah yang sangat penting bagi
orang-orang Eropa guys yaitu segi bahan
pengawet adapun rempah-rempah yang biasa
digunakan sebagai bahan pengawet oleh
orang Eropa yaitu pahala ada
dan Kayumanis
selain menjadi bahan pengawet
rempah-rempah juga berguna untuk
menghangatkan tubuh saat musim dingin ya
eniwey di benua Eropa tidak temukan
wilayah yang menghasilkan rempah-rempah
dalam jumlah besar dan berkualitas
kebanyakan mereka mendapatkan pasokan
rempah-rempah dari para pedagang Arab di
kawasan laut Mediterania tentunya
didapat dengan harga yang sangat mahal
ketika Konstantinopel jatuh ke tangan
Turki Ottoman dan berhasil menguasai
jalur perdagangan di laut Mediterania
pasokan rempah-rempah bagi orang-orang
Eropa terputus hal ini membuat bangsa
Eropa harus mencari jalur perdagangan
baru hingga mencari daerah penghasil
rempah-rempah kemudian mereka mencari
info dari pedagang Asia seputar daerah
penghasil rempah-rempah dan akhirnya
mereka berhasil menemukan daerah
tersebut Mungkin kalian sudah pada
tahukan ya Daerah mana yang dimaksud
iaps daerah yang dimaksud adalah
kepulauan nusantara terputus kepulauan
Maluku
Hai mungkin akhirnya dimulailah proyek
ekspedisi pelayaran mencari daerah
penghasil rempah-rempah yang dimulai
oleh Spanyol dan Portugis kemudian
berbondong-bondong bangsa lain datang ke
nusantara untuk mendapatkan
rempah-rempah dengan harga murah saat
itu nusantara sangat ramai karena
dikunjungi Pedagang pedagang dari
berbagai belahan dunia diantaranya
pedagang Cina Arab India hingga Eropa
setelah mendapatkan rempah dengan harga
murah bahkan gratis
penjelajah penjelajah Eropa tersebut
membawa pulang rempah dalam jumlah
banyak kemudian mereka jual dengan harga
tinggi di kawasan Eropa
mungkin itu aja yang dapat kami base
