As mentioned in the previous chapter, one of the consequences of the rise of the Ottoman Empire and the end of the Byzantine Empire was that traditional trade routes by land from Europe to India and China were blocked, leading to attempts to reach these areas by sea, and a period in world history was begun which would see Europe and Europeans come to dominate the globe. Leading the way were Portuguese, Spaniards and Italians, to be followed by Frenchmen, Englishmen and Dutchmen.
