Topic 2.3
How did monsoon winds influence seasonal changes in direction of travel along Indian Ocean trade routes?
Traders used these predictable wind patterns to plan voyages with optimal conditions for sailing at different times of the year.
Monsoon winds had no impact on trade as traders didn't know how to use them for their advantage.
Traders were forced to suspend all journeys during monsoons due to hazardous conditions at sea.
Monsoons led to a permanent shift in trading direction, making some routes obsolete.
