sea routes

Noin 25 vuotta Nikitinin matkan jälkeen Vasco da Gama löysi merireitin Intiaan.
In the late 15th century, the Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama discovered a sea route to India.

Strateginen merkitys korostui Suezin kanavan avaamisen jälkeen, sillä Gibraltar oli Britannian ja sen siirtomaiden Intian ja Australian välisen tärkeän merireitin varrella.
The islands were seen as being of key strategic significance, lying between Gibraltar and the Suez Canal, and became an important shipping station on the sea route between Great Britain and British India.

Japanin hallitus vastasi lähettämällä Busaniin sotalaiva Unyōn ja toisen sotalaivan Yeongheungin lahteen sillä verukkeella, että he tutkivat merireittejä, pakottaen tällä tavoin Korean avautumaan.
The Japanese government, which sought to emulate the empires of Europe in their tradition of enforcing so-called Unequal Treaties, responded by sending the Japanese gunboat Unyō towards Busan and another warship to the Bay of Yeongheung on the pretext of surveying sea routes, meaning to pressure Korea into opening its doors.
