2:13Now PlayingFor centuries, the Ottoman Empire controlled the overland spice routes, forcing Europe to pay a premium. 🚢 In 1497, Vasco da Gama embarked on a daring 24,000-mile journey around the Cape of Good Hope to find a direct sea route to India. Reaching Calicut a year later, he opened the doors to global imperialism and shifted the wealth of the world from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic powers. #VascoDaGama #AgeOfDiscovery #HistoryShorts #SpiceTrade #PortugueseHistory #GlobalEmpire #MaritimeHistory #SilkRoad #WorldHistory
