Both Christianity and Islam arrived in East Africa because of trade. Christianity first arrived in Axum. Islam arrived later in the trading towns along the coast of East Africa. Christianity's spread was mainly limited to Axum and Ethiopia. Islam became more widespread in East Africa. It even spread into Axum and weakened Christianity there. Christianity influenced the government and culture of Axum and Ethiopia. Rulers in each kingdom adopted it and helped it gain hold there. Although Axum weakened, the Christian tradition continued in Ethiopia and is still strong there today. The strong Muslim influence on the coastal trading towns helped to shape the Swahili culture there. Like Christianity in Ethiopia, Swahili and Islam are still strong on the coast today.

the captain of a steam ship naturally chooses the shortest route to his destination. since a sailing ship is usually pushed by winds and currents, its captain must find a route where the wind will probably blow in the right direction. tacking, i.e. using contrary wind to pull (sic) the sails, was always possible but wasted time because of the zigzagging required, and this would significantly delay long voyages. the early european explorers were not only looking for new lands. they also had to discover the pattern of winds and currents that would carry them where they wanted to go. during the age of sail winds and currents determined trade routes and therefore influenced european imperialism and modern political geography. for an outline to the main wind systems see global wind patterns.

pilotage or cabotage, in one sense, is the art of sailing along the coast using known landmarks. navigation, in one sense, is the art of sailing long distances out of sight of land.[1] although the polynesians were able to sail the pacific (with great difficulty) and people regularly sailed north and south across the mediterranean, before the time of columbus nearly all sailing was coastal pilotage
