Ocean basin trade routes was flourishing. At the beginning of the time period malay sailors
rode the monsoon winds to China, there was a desire for cotton and sugar as well as a desire
for silk and spices. As time progressed, the construction of large and powerful states provided
security for merchants and travelers, which helped long-distance trade commerce.

trade changed which led to the creation of new states as well as the eventual participation of
Europeans in the Indian Ocean trade network.
