Based on the evidence in Map 17.3, the British East India Company and others who traded in spices, slaves, precious metals, and material goods all relied heavily upon the strength of their maritime fleets. This is demonstrated by the presence of ports and trade centers along the coasts of India and the routes taken by ships carrying goods. There is no evidence in the map to suggest that the British East India Company had dominance overland trade routes or maintained a strong alliance with Muslims. The map also does not indicate whether these traders managed to avoid major armed conflict.
