Vasco Da Gama found the indian ocean trade for the europeans.
The greatest admiral in chinese history was, get this, a eunuch.
The chinese treasure ships were about 400 ft long.
The chinese were great traders in the indian ocean trade route.
Exotic animals were brought back to china by Admiral eunuch.
Portugeese sailors were competing with the chinese, but I think with their then titanic ships, they would have crushed the santa maria.
It's not easy to hit a continent.
The portugeese owned africa.
The world was divided into 2 places, the spanish and the portugeese halves.
Zheng He is the name of Admiral Eunuch.
Zheng He led about 3000 ships in his times.
Ambassadors exchanged gifts for the ability to trade with the chinese emperor.
The great wall was built because people stopped building giant ships.
Granada was where lots of european muslims were found.
Vasco Da Gama was searching for gold and christians.
Columbus has a deserved reputation for sea travel, but Zheng He and Vasco Da Gama was much better than him.
They didn't have general anestesia during the times when Zheng He and Vasco Da Gama were travelling. Just Imagine how much it hurt for Zheng He to get his nice, beautiful apples cut off.
Lots of maps were made, which gave portugeese sailors an advantage.
Portugeese sailors were pretty much pirates, attacking people and forcing the attacked to trade with them.
American Indians are called that because of columbus. I call them Native Americans because that's nicer.
In 1492, columbus discovered america. Or so they say..... I think the Natives there were the rightful founders.
In indian ocean trade, the chinese needed respect if they wanted to trade with any country.
If the chinese never stopped building giant ships, one of the most amazing wonders of the world would never have been created.
Zheng He was a muslim.
China was the leading manufacturer of quality goods in the world.
Zheng He was a medieval animal guy.
The Yongle Emperor died, stopping Zheng He from trading.
Columbus never thought he made it to america, he thought he crashed into indonesia.
Columbus created some christians.
Some.
Zheng He lost both his testicles, but that didn't stop him from becoming one of the best travellers in the world.
The chinese wanted to dominate trade, and for sure, Zheng He was one of the best captains.
Vasco De Gama was looking for a guy so that guy would help them in a crusade.
The portugeese had to rely on extortion to row their ships.
People say that columbus just hit some islands. I don't think so.
Zheng He, De Gama, and Columbus were 3 of the best, no not just best, BESTEST sailors of all time. ALL TIME.
Don't travel through the sea without fruit, or you shall contract scurvy!
Do you want quality goods? Go to china in the monsoon marketplace times.
The Kow Tow is when ambassadors or actual nobles offer the emperor of china gifts, in exchange for the ability to trade with them.
They built the great wall during the monsoon marketplace times, actually, a little after they stopped trading with giant ships. After that, the mongols got pretty mad, they didn't like a huge wall blocking their awesome, sacking, bloodily killing skills.
Krester John was meant to live in africa, and Vasco Da Gama was searching for him everywhere. EVERYWHERE.
Columbus never thought he made it to china.
Columbus was not a lucky lucky idiot.
The Native Americans just kept america when they found out it was available, like "Oh, this land is available? In that case, we'll keep it! It's all the same to you."
Zheng He was the first main figure for ocean travel in the 15th century.
You will need to awknowledge the superiority of the emperor if you want to trade with the rich rich RICH dude.
The portugeese captured a lot of cities, turning them into trading posts.
Without a kartise, you can't trade with the portugeese.
They used to figure out time with a hourglass, which meant it was pretty hard to find out how long you were doing something.
The greatest mariner of the 15th century is up to you, and what is your definition of greatest.
Treasure ships usually had about 7 masts, and there were about 400 of them in an armada.
All you people that criticize Columbus, just please, shut up. Just shut up. SHUT UP!
The chinese didn't dominate trade in the indian ocean after zheng he died.
In columbus' first journey, he found san salvador.
Back to Indian Ocean Trade!
Zheng He went from nice fun life to getting his balls cut off. Very sad. SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!
And that means he can't impregnate ANYTHING!
Treasure ships are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO big. I mean, they're about the length of all my O's. If every O was a meter. That's how long it is. Peanut butteringly big.
Vasco De Gama is awesome! He was a pirate! He looted ships! And he forced captains to sign contracts so he can sell stuff to them! FORCED SELLING HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Say goodbye to your money!
Portugal's motivations were to find gold and Christians. Which was almost impossible as most of Christianity was on the European side of Eurasia. Spain is also fun. They also look for gold and Christians.
Columbus landed in the EAST INDIES! Like Magellan. But Magellan made a lot of mistakes. I lied. Columbus thought he landed in the east indies.
The pope split the world into 2 places. SPAIN AND PORTUGAL!

The Russians
The russian empire didn't last forever, and wasn't around since the beginning of time, But before that wasteland was proclaimed an empire, it was the home for some barbaric peoples.
The russians hated the mongols.

The mongols that conquered russia were called the golden horde.
The Muskivite princes were pretty much the leaders of russia.

Lots of russian presidents rigged elections, even up to putin. OH GOD SORRY PUTIN! DON'T KILL ME I'M SO SORRY I'LL FIX THAT.
Lots of russian presidents rigged elections, until the wonderful brave Vladimir Putin put an end to it!

Russians won World War 2, against the nazis, not because of the nazi's stupid decisions, but instead because of chance. Pure chance. Because winter was bad that day. That called for a winter-wrap up, but the ponies that were meant to do it were taking their day off. Looks like the animals are gonna be sleeping in.

Everyone welcomes a merchant into their house, unless they are actually an army in disguise.

The indian ocean was not only near india, but it spread across the whole southern part of asia and the eastern part of africa.
Cheaper trade meant more trade in the monsoon marketplace.
Kodo Rani (I bet that's the wrong spelling) offered her guts to her new husband as a wedding gift.
Islam spread to indonesia through the monsoon marketplace, when the elites of indonesia started adopting the religion.
Indian Ocean Trade really blew up between 1000 CE and 1200 CE.
Kodo Rani was forced to marry someone who kidnapped her, but then he died. After that, she got invaded and was forced to marry the main invader. After that, she sliced open her stomach and gave her guts to her husband as a wedding present. And all because her father let an army into his house, thinking they were merchants.
When the mongols were in charge, it was safer to go by land, because, if you pay a little tax, the mongols would protect you for the rest of your journey.
Singapore is an example of a trading place in modern times.
The Indian Ocean trade route was not only 1 route, there are lots of routes you can go through.
Monsoons were very important in the monsoon marketplace, because when you're trading, you can go home when the wind is leading to your hometown, and you can go to the country which you are planning to trade with when the wind is leading there.
Indian Ocean trade was like Silk Road trade.

Lots of exports were taken from asia in the monsoon marketplace.
Sri Vijia, I bet i'm saying it wrong, was a chokepoint for trade.
Trade was a huge wealth for trade chokepoints, because they could tax traders and merchants. Checkmate, suckers.

It is extremely amazing that Indian Ocean Trade was almost completely peaceful.
Rice was an export from south eastern asia.
Lots of stuff that are in other countries now were traded through indian ocean trade.
If indian ocean trade was not so great, we would not have the stuff we have today.
Sri Vijya was near the strait of malaaka.
