Answer:

The Byzantine empire

Step-by-step explanation:

The Ottoman Empire seized control of Constantinople and defeated the Byzantine Empire. The Ottoman Empire supported a trade route northward through Moldova, introducing tobacco to Polish Ukraine, where its consumption and production were legal.
