Question

the opening of the dash candle increased trade with the East.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Crusaders brought back to Europe many new goods, including oil, spices, and new varieties of fruit from the Muslim world. Europeans wanted more of these goods. This led to increased trade between Europe and the East.

Answer 2

Answer:

The East India Company (EIC) was an English, and later British, joint-stock company founded in 1600 and dissolved in 1874. It was formed to trade in the Indian Ocean region, initially with the East Indies (the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia), and later with East Asia. The company seized control of large parts of the Indian subcontinent, colonised parts of Southeast Asia and Hong Kong, and kept trading posts and colonies in the Persian Gulf Residencies. At its peak, the company was the largest corporation in the world. The EIC even had its own armed forces in the form of the company's three Presidency armies, totalling about 260,000 soldiers, twice the size of the British army.The operations of the company had a profound effect on the global balance of trade, almost single-handedly[9] reversing the trend of eastward drain of Western bullion, seen since Roman times.
