As a means of recording the passage of time, the 15th century was the century which lasted from 1401 to 1500. Constantinople, the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire, falls to emerging Ottoman Turks, forcing Western Europeans to find a new trade route. Spanish and Portuguese explorations led to discovery of the Americas and the sea passage along Cape of Good Hope to India for the European civilization. After this discovery, transportation increased between all continents of the earth. The Papacy was split in two parts in Europe for decades, until the Council of Constance. Tamerlane established a major empire in the Middle East and Central Asia, in order to revive the Mongolian Empire. The Inca Empire rose to prominence in South America. The 15th century was a bridge between the Middle Ages, the Early Renaissance, and the Early modern period. From Wikipedia under the

"How did the Age of Discovery change the way people viewed the world? What changes took place in the world because of the Age of Discovery? How did you see the founding of Jamestown?

I think, at the dawn of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng He, a eunuch who gained the trust of the emperor Yongle, embarked on seven(?) voyages throughout the Indian Ocean basin, giving gifts from China to foreign nations.

However, these were ended due to a belief among the scholar-bureaucrats that foreign powers were what forced them into the previous two hundred years of Mongol oppression in the Yuan Dynasty... I don't know if that answered the question, but it's what came off the top of my head...

I do not have any books that deal specifically with women in Italy during this period, though I have a number about medieval women in general. I have found a few passages that refer specifically to Italian women. In 'Women in the medieval Towns' Erika Uitz writes. 'The femal town dweller was initally most active, and contributed to the greatest extent and most consistently to economic prosperity, in trade and finance. The source materials through which one can trace female activity in the trading sector go back to a very early date.

They first wanted to find another route to the Asia while bypassing the Ottomans who were located in the middle East. So they thought of a Western route as they knew the world was a sphere. But instead they stumbled into the Americas. They found land, peoples and later gold. This then drove the desire to explore and find other inhabited or non inhabited lands not known to the Old world.
