SEJARAH PENCARIAN REMPAH OLEH BANGSA EROPA DLM BENTUK PETA

Hello my dear

Hello all friends This time I will

tell you about the history of the

Maluku Islands in the late Middle Ages,

a century that started

this Indonesian region to be known and is said to

be very famous in the eyes of

Europeans, a region that is famous for

producing the most delicious trading commodities

in the Middle Ages, namely spice commodities

before continuing, friends

should also know that the Maluku Islands were already

famous before Europeans came,

even the spice commodities

traded in Europe also came

from the Maluku Islands, which were brought by

Indian, Malacca, and Chinese traders

via sea and land routes

and sold in the trading center city,

namely Constantinople, which was also the capital of the

Eastern Roman Empire. Since when did the

Maluku Islands become famous in

the eyes of Europeans?

Since when did they finally

flock to send

their ships looking for spices in the

Maluku Islands until finally Europe

gave the name Maluku as Spice Island

or Spice Island

The story is long but here I will

tell you briefly about

the points of historical events that

finally made Maluku famous

in the eyes of Europeans, the

first

event was the fall of Constantinople.

The recognition of the Maluku Islands by

Europeans can be said to have begun

because of the year 1453 the capital of the

Eastern Roman Empire, which was in the city of

Constantinople, fell into the hands of the

new, invincible ruler at that time, namely the

Ottoman Empire. Well,

when the city of Constantinople, which

was the center of European trade,

fell into the hands of the

Ottoman Empire, then the Europeans

had difficulty finding important trade commodities.

One of the most

wow and high economic value commodities that were

usually traded in the city of

Constantinople was

spices.

Because the city of Constantinople as a

trading center was controlled by the

Ottoman Empire, Europeans tried

to find new places to obtain

various trade commodities that they

needed.

And because most of the land routes

to the East were under the

control of the Ottoman Empire,

they finally looked for other alternatives, namely the

sea route. This was one of the

starting points that encouraged Europeans to

undertake sea expeditions

to find new locations in order to

find the trade commodities they

needed, especially spice trade products.

When we talk about

spices like this, it seems that in

the end we will mention the

largest spice producer in the Middle Ages,

namely the Maluku Islands, one of the

eastern archipelago regions. The

two

treaties of Tordesillas.

Spain and Portugal often fought over

expansion areas and often caused heated

friction.

Hi, so that There is no competition

for territory that could lead

to ongoing war conflicts,

so the two countries

agreed to make an agreement

called the Tordesillas agreement and the

agreement signed on June 7,

1494 divided the world into

two exclusive monopolies between Spain

and Portugal with a boundary line in

the area around the Verde Islands from the

Verde Islands area to the East

will be controlled by Portugal while the

Verde Islands area to the West

will be controlled by Spain.

This Tordesillas agreement

then brought various

sea explorers from Spain and Portugal

to sail the oceans to the west and

east

looking for new colonial areas while

hunting for petroleum and palm oil, eh, I

don't mean studying spices. The

three

Spanish and Portuguese expeditions after the

Tordesillas agreement was agreed by

Spain and Portugal Gun

1494. Then the two countries

began their ocean travel expeditions.

Well, after various

sea expeditions were carried out, in short,

in 1511 the

Portuguese expedition led by Mister Alfonso

succeeded in reaching Malacca or now

Malaysia and from Malacca, Mr. Alfonso

received information that

spices were abundant in a

place in the east which is often

known as Jazirah al-mulk or

the land of the kings. Then Mister

Alfonso sent several ships.

diplomatic towards the East towards the

al-mal region this region was then often

called molluca or Maluku at

that time there were several kingdoms in the

Maluku archipelago Such as the

Ternate kingdom Tidore kingdom Jailolo kingdom

Loloda kingdom and the moral kingdom in

principle the arrival of ship representatives

from Portugal with the aim of

this trade relationship was well received

especially in the Ternate Kingdom the

aim was to trade spices it

must have been well received then

what about Spain

long story short Spain also

sent various

ocean voyage expeditions until finally

one of the explorers named Mister

Magellan in 1519 began a

sea voyage to the west

after 2 years of travel Magellan

managed to cross the Pacific Ocean and

stop in the Philippines

[Applause]

mobile died in

1921 because he was killed in the Philippines but

one of his ships managed to continue

the journey home under the leadership of

Sebastian del Cano who sailed

south until he discovered the

Maluku archipelago and unexpectedly it turned out that Maluku

was a region rich in spices

Bro Eh wait this part is important bro

yo the fame of the archipelago

especially the Maluku archipelago

really started from here Bro

when the ship Mister Sebastian del Cano

from Spain stopped in Maluku or

precisely in the Tidore kingdom while on the

opposite island, namely the island belonging to the

Ternate Kingdom, it turns out that there was already a

team of Mister Alfonso from Portugal who

had established trade relations with the

Ternate Kingdom as I have already

told you about

the friction between Spain and Portugal

to do spices also occurred

in the YouTube Islands so

that there would be no

prolonged conflict because Spain was considered to have

violated the Tordesillas agreement,

another agreement was made called the

Saragosa Agreement, one of the

points of which was to allow Spain to be

active in the Philippines but

Spain was not allowed to be active in

Maluku, in essence Spain had to immediately

leave Maluku.

Hi, since Spain and Portugal were stranded

in the Maluku islands, this was the beginning of the

opening of the eyes of the European world to the

new world of spice producers in the

Maluku islands,

almost all ancient maps made by Europe

finally gave the name Maluku as

Spice Island or Spice Island

since the Portuguese had trade relations with

Ternate, the Portuguese capital in Lisbon

became a rapidly developing trading port

and became the center of the

spice trade in Europe

where the spices were imported

from Maluku Bro, the

place where the fall of the City of Lisbon

and the Dutch expedition

almost 100 years since Spain and

Portugal dispatched the expedition

the ocean until finding Maluku

as a producer of spices

next is the ocean journey

of Dutch ships that also

sailed east to look for the Maluku region

before the Dutch joined in looking for

spices in the archipelago they

basically already had

trade relations with please at that time the

Dutch often bought spices in

the city of Lisbon the capital of Portugal which had

become the center of the spice market in

Europe but in

1580 5 Portuguese Lisbon cities were also

finally controlled by Spain and

closed trade with the Netherlands

this condition pushed the Dutch to have to

look for spices themselves from

various information obtained by

Dutch intelligence about the existence of

spice producing regions then

departed Mister Cornelis de Houtman

In April 2018

7 oceans to the East towards the

spice producing region, namely the

Maluku region long story short after a

long journey mister Cornelis was

able to return to his country with

a lot of spices

Well the success of Mister Cornelis shopping for

spices in the archipelago was

then followed by

other Dutch boss ships who wanted to go

to the archipelago to buy wholesale

Oh yes in essence they are all

rich merchants from the Netherlands Already tempted

by the spices of the archipelago which were

already famous in Europe,

long story short, in the end all the

merchants from the Netherlands then

united to establish a trading company called the

VOC

since 1600 the VOC trading company

succeeded in controlling and monopolizing the

spice trade in the

archipelago The

VOC finally became the

richest giant trading company at that time because of the

sale of spices originating from

Maluku and several other places in the

archipelago the

wealth of the VOC company at that time is said to have

surpassed the wealth of the current Google company

and you need to know that

Maluku is a very

famous region behind the big name of the

VOC company yes those are some historical points in the

Middle Ages

a short story of the beginning of the

recognition of the Maluku archipelago

as a spice producing region

until its name echoed famously

throughout Europe

Hi So what do you think guys Hi is it

not well known or not until

several large European countries in the Middle Ages
