Respuesta :
Although the Portuguese conquered established a postal exchange empire on the Indian Ocean to tax ships crossing in their territory and strips of land in Mambosa, Hormuz, and the Persian Gulf, they weren’t very strong and were eventually overthrown. One similarity before and after their arrival is that Asians controlled most of the commerce in the Indian Ocean basin.
One similarity that was observed both before and after the Portuguese came was that sea trade was the main type of trade.
Trade in the Indian Ocean:
- Was controlled by the Muslims who were very good at sailing
- Was extensively done via various sea routes
- Taken over substantially by the Portuguese
After the Portuguese took over trade in the Indian Ocean, they realized the value of the Muslim sea trade routes and so used these same routes to trade goods.
In conclusion, sea trade was dominant both before and after the Portuguese came.
