How did the search for maritime trade routes to Asia affect the growth of European empires?(1 point)
Responses
It had little impact on the growth of European empires because trade was not very profitable.
Several European nations began building overseas empires so they could access valuable trade goods such as spices.
The countries with the most land space in Europe were the most successful at building empires.
The cost of getting spices from Asia made some countries decide that global expansion was not worthwhile.
