Which of these civilizations traded with India during the 1400s? choice one answer
Britain
Axum Empire
Swahili Coast
United States
Swahili Coast
During the 1400s, the civilization that traded with India is the Axum Empire.
During the 1400s, three of the civilizations you mentioned traded with India while one did not. Let's go through each of them:
1. Britain: During the 1400s, Britain did not have direct trade links with India. British involvement in India would come several decades later, starting in the early 1600s with the establishment of the British East India Company.
2. Axum Empire: The Axum Empire, which was located in present-day Ethiopia, did have trade relations with India in the past. However, by the 1400s, the empire had declined, and its trade connections with India had significantly diminished.
3. Swahili Coast: The Swahili Coast, a region encompassing the eastern coastline of Africa, did have extensive trade relations with India during the 1400s. Arab and Persian merchants established trading settlements along the east African coast, and they facilitated the exchange of goods and ideas between India and the Swahili city-states.
4. United States: During the 1400s, the United States did not exist as a nation, and it had no direct trade connections with India. The United States as we know it today was established much later in history.
Therefore, out of the options you provided, the Swahili Coast is the correct choice.
