However, there was nothing that Muslims said or did to convince Europeans to choose this outlet and the Ottomans would have been more than willing to be trade-intermediaries with East Asia.

Europeans sought an ocean trade route to East Asia after 1400 primarily to access valuable goods like spices, silk, and precious metals, which were in high demand in Europe. The overland trade routes, such as the Silk Road, were lengthy, dangerous, and controlled by intermediaries, leading to high costs. Additionally, the fall of Constantinople in 1453 and the rise of the Ottoman Empire disrupted traditional trade routes, prompting Europeans to explore alternative sea routes. This desire for direct trade aimed to enhance profit margins and reduce reliance on middlemen.
