Why do historians use the term “archipelago of trade” to describe the Afro-Eurasian trade networks of the fourteenth century?

• Because it was too dangerous for foreigners to enter the mainlands of either region, so trading was only safe and successful in island ports.

• Because Britain – technically one large island – had so many ports for its prolific wool trade, it was nicknamed “the archipelago of trade.”

• Because the many trading centers symbolically resembled a chain of islands with links to each other, rather than isolated areas.

• Because trading took place primarily in the Aegean Sea, which is the origin of the term “archipelago.”
