From the beginning of time to the late 1400s, spice trade occurred primarily through overland routes on the Silk Road. When the fall of Constantinople occurred in 1453, land trade routes were blocked and controlled by Muslim traders. Vasco de Gama, a Portuguese explorer, discovered a new sea route around the southern tip of Africa to the regions that produced the spices. This route was used to trade spice.

The search for the spice road led to competition among European countries to colonize other parts of the world and the growth of manufacturing, where the European countries are importing raw materials to turn into manufactured goods to trade for more raw materials.

9.

Portugal discovered the route around Africa to get to the regions that produce the spices. This made Portugal wealthy.

10.

Other European countries caught on to Portugal's idea. Spain stepped up Portugal's idea and tried to find a safer, faster way to get to the spice-producing regions. Spain went straight across the Atlantic Ocean, instead of following the southern tip of Africa. This lead to the discovery of the Americas.

11.

The Netherlands stepped up the ideas of Portugal and Spain. Instead of trading goods and money for their country, Merchants in the Netherlands decided to create companies. These companies sent colonists to the East Indies to control the spice trade. This led to the growth of capitalism.
