Answer:

Muslim control of many land trade routes

Step-by-step explanation:

For centuries, Arab traders had controlled existing trade routes to Africa and Asia, which meant European merchants were forced to buy from Italian traders at high prices. They wanted to trade directly with Africa and Asia, but this meant that they had to find a new sea route.

Hope this helped!!!
