MQA Essay Prompt: Evaluate the extent to which the Portuguese transformed maritime trade in the Indian Ocean in the sixteenth century. The Portuguese transformed maritime trade majorly in the sixteenth century. The Portuguese forced their wealth with the sinking of ships and passes. Many Muslims / Hindu merchants started to leave the area once they realized they couldn't defend their position, and trading value in that area became less. In the sixteenth century, the Portuguese forced their wealth by forcing vessels (any size) to carry a safe conduct pass(Document3). This required the vessels to pay a certain fee and if they didn't they would be killed off the ship. The Portuguese had several ships all over the indian ocean to enforce it's rule. The perspective of document 3 is relevant to the argument because, this male Zainudeen Makhdoom Al Sageer, is a muslim scolar from Calicut. So obviously, he's going to think the portuguese are wrong and be on the muslim merchants side. In document 1, a muslim merchant claimed the Portuguese we're trying to take over trade in the indian ocean completely and take possesion of the king of calicut's city. This Muslim merchant claimed the idea of coming to calicut to only trade spices is false. Once they felt you were vulnerable they would turn that trading post into a fort and start war. The POV of this document is important to the argument, because it is an Muslim Merchant who felt betrayed by the King, and possibly was being replaced by the portuguese. The portuguese started to make Muslim merchants leave and sort to find different trading places. They we're simply invading and taking over the area, therefore impacting maritime trade in the indian ocean greatly. Essentially, everything went through them. In document 2, it is claimed that once the king of portugal established himself in the indian ocean, Muslims saw they couldn't defend their position and resorted to leaving. Muslim merchants weren't used to being second in command, behind the portuguese in maritime trade. In document 4, it appears that the Portuguese didn't alter everything about maritime trade in the indian ocean. The hindu brokers still took care of merchants trade as they rested (Document4). The portuguese stilll had lesser connects to pepper and spices since they signed a contract with the king of cochin that they will buy his pepper. In document 5, it is clearly a inlaid box made from india to Portugal, possibly containing precious trading pieces. Even though they had to resort to less than ideal peppers, they still received exports from india, and clearly has a trade connect with them. 2 Ultimately, The portuguese impacted maritime trade greatly in the sixteenth century. The portuguese forced their wealth on the indian ocean, making vessels pay a certain fee to carry a safe conduct pass. They made Muslim merchants leave calicut, their help wasn't nearly appreciated by the king like how it was before. Portugal still had connects with India and other places to receive valuable trading pieces. The portuguese imposed their will on the indian ocean and maritime trade, taking advantage of how things were run.
