Asia in the Early Modern Era The Early European Colonization of Southeast Asia
Southeast Asia is magnet for Europeans. Southeast Asia is kaleidoscope of states and cultures. Island Southeast Asia’s political fragmentation and desirable products made the region easy prey for European domination. The Malay Peninsula is the place for trading between East and South Asia. The Philippines is the place where Chinese sailing junks had been trading.
The Portuguese, the first European explorers, established the charts of the navigation routes and defended their trading posts against other European nations. Vasco da Gama (1469-1525) built Malacca, on the Malay Peninsula, as location to control trade between East and South Asia. They buy pepper, spices, nutmeg (sexual medicine), other spices, precious stones, porcelains, and silks, and they sale silver, glass, linens, woolen textiles, and metal manufactures.
In 1519 Spain’s Ferdinand Magellan found another northwest route to Asia through the Philippines where Chinese sailing junks had been trading. Spanish missionaries Christianized most Filipinos. Manila is a market place where Spanish buy silks, tea, porcelain, and other Chinese and Japanese goods, and sale silver, maize, tobacco, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and peanuts.
In 1595 Dutch started to occupy the Southeast Asia’s trading. The United Dutch East India Company is the largest commercial enterprise. In 1960, the English East India Company had sought a share in spice trade. Dutch expelled English from the East Indies in 1623 and the Portuguese from Ceylon in 1658, so Netherlands controlled the entire lucrative spice trade from Asia to Europe. Like the Portuguese, the Dutch were mainly interested in trade and not colonization or direct territorial control. The Chinese and Japanese immigrants are encouraged. By the late seventeenth century, Dutch control continued in Java, where they established plantations such as coffee (from

    Asian goods were traded with European merchants along the Silk Road and vice versa. In particular, spices from Asia, which were traded with most wealthy empires, particularly Europe, fueled Asia’s economy. These spices were wanted by the Europeans constantly and elaborated the importance of the Silk Road. During the Post-Classical period, many countries like Portugal and Spain, tried to take control of the Spice trade. Although unsuccessful, it shows the importance of the spice trade to the Silk Roads. The spice trade created an economic boom in Asia and every other country wanted that leading to wars and a race to find the quickest route to Asia. Furthermore, Asia’s economy, specifically China’s economy, was dependent on the money from trade on the Silk Road, regardless the type of goods that were traded to fuel their economy. Likewise, Asian trades drove Europe’s…

This prompted explorers to find sea routes, because they would be much cheaper and faster.…

    From 1300-1800 many European countries wanted to expand and make their lands more bountiful with more resources and goods from other places. Countries wanted what other countries had; for example different types of food and spices. This desire for new goods and resources drove countries to explore new lands and trade with other places so they can attain those things. For example, there was Vasco de Gama of Portugal who travelled to Calicut, India, claiming that he wanted to befriend the ruler of Calicut (document 4). In truth, the reason Vasco de Gama came to India was because he knew that other countries were bringing goods to India and he was interested in discovering what goods and resources they had.…

    Indian Ocean Trade Summary

    • 8 Pages

    Both the Chinese and the Portuguese sought involvement in the Indian Ocean trade but each group used methods that juxtaposed each other. The Chinese had a lot of goods that those involved in the Indian Ocean trade routes desired. On the other hand, the Portuguese did not really have any goods to trade; no one needed iron pots or the wool clothing that they produced. This led the Europeans to take a different approach; since they could not trade in the way others could, they had to use coerce their way in. Their methods involved the conquest of various Indian Ocean nations and therefore it was much more abusive than the ways of the Chinese. Following the descriptions of Malacca, Ceylon, and Hormuz as found in personal accounts by Ma Huan and…

    Indonesia and Sri Lanka had the same goods. They traded their spices which was wanted more by the Europeans. China’s goods never changed throughout the years. They always traded porcelain, silk, and paper. Lastly silver was traded by Japan. When the Indian Ocean Trade hit it’s peak it was being interfered with the Portuguese. Since the Portuguese took control of the Indian Ocean trade they had greatly increased trade because they enabled the Europeans to trade with Asia which soon after increased the economies of both Asia and Europe. The Portuguese had got control of the trade because of Vasco de Gamma. He was a Portuguese sailor who found the route to India and made notes about what he saw happening and the trade being done in the Indian Ocean. When he went back to Portugal he told his King and Queen about what he observed and they became extremely interested and wanted to take control so they captured the port cities and made…
