OD: The Ottomans taxed European goods coming through Asia, motivating Europeans to seek new trade routes by sea to Asia.

Explanation:

Other than the ocean, the only way for European traders to get to the other side of Asia was through the Ottoman Empire. If you take look at the map (I’ve attached below), the Ottoman Empire controlled the area between Europe and Asia. Therefore European countries decided to find a different route to the Asian countries without getting taxed. The only other route possible was to travel through the seas.

I hope this. Lmk if you need another explanation.

hello,

what started the norman conquest?

profound political, administrative, and social changes in the british isles. last line of my information: )

the iconic cartoon that you are talking about is probably a man standing on top of a country with his legs spread wide. 

this cartoon suggests that europeans are powerful enough to subdue an entire continent. this was a satirical image that was drawn during the time of the colonization of the british empire in africa.

this image was inspired by the plans of the british empire to create telegraph lines all over africa promoting the further spread of its colonies through faster communication. the picture depicts the colonial mentality of the british empire in general as well as the struggle of africans to claim their own land. hope this !
