“The Portuguese now ruled the Indian Ocean. . . . The consequences reached around the world. Much Italian splendor had been based on the wealth of the East pouring through Venice and Genoa. Now the traffic in Asiatic treasure—spices, drugs, gems, and silks—would no longer come through the Persian Gulf, the Red Sea and the Levant, but on Portuguese ships around the Cape of Good Hope to Atlantic-facing Europe. . . .The Egyptian-Venetian trade was destroyed. The wealth of Asia, the fabled treasures of the Orient, were flowing west. The new Age of the Sea moved . . . commerce . . . from the coasts of a finite body, the closed Mediterranean . . . to the shores of the open Atlantic and the boundless world-reaching Oceans.” —Daniel Boorstin, The Discoverers, 1983
