The Persians and Arabs' trade routes connected Western India to the Persian Gulf, which was connected to eastern Africa. Boats that sailed the Indian Ocean were bouyant in the large waves. The traders understood the monsoon seasons and direction of the wind, and used this to schedule their voyages. Besides the possibility of unsafe weather conditions, the Indian Ocean was safe. Constant warfare wasn't an issue. Marriages brought about cultural diffusion, causing bilingual and bicultural families to become common.

The Persians and the Arabs dominated the Indian Ocean trade. They connected ports in western India to ports in the Persian Gulf which connected to ports in eastern Africa. The boats that sailed the Indian Ocean were able to resist the large waves. The traders understood the monsoon and direction of the winds. They used this to there advantage, scheduling their trips around the weather. Cultural diffusion through trade led to marriages of different local women at the trade routes. Cultures started to intertwine more, sailors married foreign women and created bilingual and bicultural families.

The Indian Ocean Trade was led by Persians and Arabs. The ports connected the ports of western India, Persian Gulf, and eastern Africa. The sailing boats of Indian Boats were larger built then those in Mediterranean Seas, because Indian Ocean had bigger waves. Still, travelers understood the mansoon seasons. The Indian Ocean was safe, and didn't have much warfare. There started to be intermixed cultures, when sailors married at the end of trade routes.

The Persian and Arabs were at the top when it came to trade along the Indian Ocean. The routes connected ports all over. They went from western India to the Persian Gulf to eatern Africa. The ships taht travled over these routes were quite strong and durable. They werew able to take bigger waves. Traders became more familiar with the waters and the weather warnings. The trade routes were pretty safe and not only did the routes encourage trade, intermarraige began more frequently. This led to bilingual and bicultural famalies becoming more common.

The Indian Ocean trading was dominiated by the persians and Arabs. These trades routtes connected from n western India to the ports in Peria, and then some ports in Eastern Africa. Trade routes were usually safe because there weren't any warfares that happened around that trade route. They only thing that was worrisome was the weather. Bilingual and Biculture families were appearing because marriages were happening between sailors and women that were locals to these trade routes.

Traders learned about the patterns of weather of the Indian Ocean to ensure safe voyage. Many of these traders had foreign wives, hence culturally diverse families developed. It enabled easy access trade to other countries and cultural diffusion.

the Persian and Arabs dominated the Indian Ocean trade route which connected them to ports in western Indian and the Persian gulf and eastern Africa later on. the boats that were used were stronger to deal with the large waves unlike the Mediterranean boats. the trades learned to deal with monsoons and the direction of the winds and this was safer unlike the Mediterranean which was full of warfare from the English. also, this brought on much cultural diffusion as traders married people from different ports that they went to and created bilingual and bicultural families.

The Persians and the Arabs conquered the Indian Ocean Trade. Their trade routes combined ports in western India to Persian Gulf ports as well as eastern Africa.
Eventually the traders had a better understanding of the monsoons and thier seasons as well as the wind direction. With their knoledge they would trade according to the weather.
Trading caused sailors to marry women from the trade routes which created cultural diffussion. This led to mixed race families and variety in language.

The Persians and the Arabs dominated the trading route. They connected ports in western India in the Persian gulf, and that connected to ports located in eastern Africa. Boats that were used to sail on the Indian ocean were a lot more sturdier and were built to be more resilient to the rough waves that were common for those waters. Traders learned the pattern of the monsoon seasons and direction of the winds. The sailors would often marry local women along the trade routes, creating bilingual and bicultural families.

The Indian Ocean Trade was mostly controlled by Persians and Arabs. There were ports all around in western Indian, in the Persian Gulf and they connected to eastern Africa. Boats traveling in this area were able to withstand harsh conditions like heavy winds and large waves. They planned their routes considering the time of the monsoon seasons. The trade routes were safe and there was no warfare. The Indian Ocean trade led to cultural diffusion as sailors marries local women on different ports. The number of bilingual and bicultural families also increased.

The Indian Ocean trade was dominated by the Persians and the Arabs. They connected the ports in western India to the ports in the Perisian Golf. Their boats were able to resist the large waves in their waters and the traders were able to understand monsoon seasons. This caused them to schedule their trips around these seasons. The impact of this trade was that it caused cultures to intermix because of the marring of sailors and foreign wives.

Indian trading routed were dominated by the Persians and Arabs. These routes connected the western India to the Persian gulf. Their understanding of the Monsoons proved to be of their advantage. They knew when to avoid an d when to sail the oceans saving them from life threatening situations. As a result of these trade routes and inter marriages cultural diffusion increased. This caused the creation of bilingual and bicultural families.

The Persians and the Arabs dominated the Indian Ocean Trade. Their routes were able to connect the ports in India to the ports in the Persian Gulf, which also helped connecting the ports in eastern Africa. The boats that were used to sail to India held up better when there was large waves, unlike the boats used in the Mediterranean Sea. All traders learned and understood the monsoon seasons and the direction of the winds and used all of this information to schedule their voyages accordingly. Although there were some difficulties, the Indian Ocean trade routes were safe, unlike the Mediterranean Sea where there was always warfare going on. When traders married foreign woman, cultural diffusion occurred. This also was the beginning of bilingual and bicultural families.

at first, persians and arabs dominated trade. their trade routes connected ports in western indai into ports all across the rest of that area. boats that sailed in the indian ocean were built to withstand larger waves, which helped trade. indian trade routes were much safe, and quicker, and cheaper, than the inland routes.

The Persians and Arabs had control of the Indian Ocean Trade. These trade routes connected ports from India to eastern Africa, as well as the Persian Gulf. The Indian traders had an advantage over the Mediterrean trade because of advance technology such as boats that were more resistant to large waves, as well as the direction of the wind. The Indian Ocean trade routes were also safe because there was no constant warefare taking place in the water.
The Indian trade route affected other countries because of the sailors traditions of marrying local women and bringing them back to their country. This brought about culture diffusion, and it influenced bilingual and bicultural families to be very common.

The indian ocean trading was controlled by the persians and arabians. The indian ocean was a good and safe way to trade, although people had to make special schedules according to the storm seasons. Many cultures mixed through the trades and many spoke more than one language due to cultural diffusion. Many marriages of different races took place, which also resulted in cultural diffusion.

Indian Ocean trade was Arab and Persian territory. Trade routes were dominated mostly by these people. Ports in western India travelled to the Persian Gulf and were in turn linked to east africa. The sailors on these waters had to be familiar with the conditions of the ocean, considering the monsoons and wind changes on every trip. Another important fact that occured with Indian Ocean trading was that since the traders went to different ports they also brought their culture. This led to cultural diffusion.

Boats that sailed the Indian Ocean were more resilient against the large waves common in these waters. Traders understood the monsoon season and the direction of the winds and made their trips around them. The Silk Road connected China to the Mediterranean cultures. It was not only important to carry silk but porcelain, paper, military technology, religion, and food. The East met the West on the Silk Road. The Hanseatic League, which was a collection of city-states in the Ballic and North Sea that banded together in 1241 to establish trade and a trade monopoly from the region to much of the rest of teh world. The result was great because it resulted in a large middle-class in northern Europe and set a precedent for large, European trading operations, that affected the Dutch and the English. As a result the world was greatly connected. Europe was trading with the Islamic world and Russia. The Islamic world was trading with Africa, India, and China. India was trading with China and eastern Africa. China was trading with Japan and south east Europe.
