The event of the crusades ignited interest in European and non-Euro civilizations. The Indian ocean spice trade was one of the primary motivations for European exploration. Additionally, the interest in Indian ocean trade and avoidance of the ottoman turk middlemen led to attempts to finding more direct routes to India. The Portugese were the first to explore the Indian ocean, followed by the dutch, and eventually the english. This exploration led to new crops, medicine and even diseases being shared across the globe.
