New Routes to the East (national Geographic Global History)
by Compiled By The National Geographic Society
About This Novel
The mysterious East has always had an irresistible attraction to the West. The encounter between the Far East and Western Europe is not only a historical drama, but also a driving force for historical evolution. The huge imperial order spanning Europe and Asia established by the Mongol Empire once rejuvenated the Silk Road. However, with the rise of the Ottoman Empire, the traditional trade routes between the East and the West were cut off. This stimulated Europeans to find new routes, which contributed to the subsequent geographical discovery and even the Western hegemony of the world. From the perspective of the exploration of Western Europeans to the East and the collision of exchanges between the East and the West, this book restores the extraordinary appearance of the entire world history from the 13th to the 15th century, and tells the historical context of the subversion of the world structure caused by the transformation of trade routes.
