European traders and investors searched for an alternative route to Asia to destroy the Arab monopoly on spices and other exotic goods. Prior to the slow development of sea routes between Europe and Asia, Arab powers controlled the overland trade route that connected the two regions. As such, Arabs were able to control the flow and traffic of goods from one end of Eurasia to the other.
