What factors caused europeans to seek new trade routes to asia

The correct answer is the following.

The factors that caused Europeans to seek new trade routes to Asia were that the Ottoman Turks blocked the trade route to the city of Constantinople in 1453. This happened because the Ottoman Army had captured that part of Constantinople that was located in the famous Silk Road between Europe and Asia. Then, European traders began to look for new routes that could take them and their products to the East. The closure of the road by the Ottomans to boycott trade also serve as the beginning of the Age of Discovery, when explorers navigated the sea in order to find new routes for its products.

The SIlk road was a series of roads that were established for trade and transportation purposes during the Chinese Han Dynasty. The Silk Road was the main road that united the West and the East form 130 BCE to 1453 CE.

panem is a communist totalitarian dictatorship where all the resources and how they are allocated belongs to the capitol. the districts exist only to provide goods and services for the capital and most of the citizens live in poverty. it is a police state where the "peacekeepers" use force and threats to keep the people under control. dissent is outlawed and those who disobey the law are executed, flogged, or turned into avoxes. the games are another means in which the ruling elite in the capitol exert their power over the districts. when reading the books i drew parallels between panem and the soviet union and north korea. in no way is panem capitalist. the people in the capitol are wealthy but the majority of them are involved in the government somehow. it was the same way in the former soviet union where bigwigs in the communist party and high ranking government officials were given access to goods, services, medical treatments not available to the general public. if you think panem has a capitalist economy you need to brush up on your economics.
