The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It originated in the 15th-century search for trade routes to the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia, in response to Ottoman control of the Silk Road.
- This led to the Age of Discovery, and introduction of early modern warfare into what Europeans first called the East Indies, and later the Far East.
- By the 16th century, the Age of Sail expanded European influence and development of the spice trade under colonialism.
