Answers
Answer:
The Portuguese discovery of the sea route to India was the first recorded trip made directly from Europe to India via the Cape of Good Hope, in the Atlantic Ocean. It was undertaken under the command of Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama during the reign of King Manuel I in 1495–1499.
The Ottoman Empire was founded in Anatolia , the location of modern-day Turkey. Originating in Söğüt (near Bursa , Turkey), the Ottoman dynasty expanded its reign early on through extensive raiding. This was enabled by the decline of the Seljuq dynasty, the previous rulers of Anatolia, who were suffering defeat from Mongol invasion.
A major reason Europeans mounted sea voyages in the 1400s was to find shipping routes for easier trade with Asia for spices and textiles. Portugal made early advances in voyaging due to a longstanding maritime culture and a stable monarchy, as well as the leadership of Prince Henry the Navigator (1394-1460).
