Britain, China and Russia were rivals in the theater of Central and Western Asia. Central Asia was doing good on being independent until imperialism hit and they needed to trade with other countries.
Political The 1911 Britain, politically subsequent Russia's
action against Persian's nationalist government. Late fifteenth century with a series of voyages that sought a sea passage to India in the hope of establishing direct trade between Europe and Asia in spices. Before 1500 European economies were largely self-sufficient, only supplemented by minor trade with Asia and Africa. Within the next century, however, European and Asian economies were slowly becoming integrated through the rise of new global trade routes.
In the sixteenth century, the Portuguese established a monopoly over trade between Asia and Europe by managing to prevent rival powers from using the water routes between Europe and the Indian Ocean.
Afonso de Albuquerque (1509-1515) resolved to consolidate Portuguese holdings in Africa and Asia, and secure control of trade with the East Indies and China. His first objective was Malacca, which controlled the narrow strait through which most Far Eastern trade moved. Several years later the first trading posts were established in the Moluccas, which was the source for some of the world's most hotly demanded spices.
