Earlier, the European traders travelled to Asia by land. But after the capture of Constantinople by the Turks in 1453, this trade route was almost closed for the European traders. The Ottoman Turks charged Christian high fees to get through the route. Apart from this, the route was also unsafe due to the marauding bands of Tatar and the Mongols. Thus, the Europeans felt the need to discover new sea routes to India.
