Question

In what way might the expansion of islam have contributed to the europea. Expansion of the modern area

Answer 1

Islam helped expand the modern era, because it became the center of attention of most Europeans. Europeans sought to convert new people to Christianity to counteract the Islamic influence. They were also desperate to get to China before the Chinese were converted to Islam. The Europeans were compelled to search for sea trade routes to Asia to avoid crossing Islamic lands. In addition, any person who contributed to the Crusades was exposed to different cultures and languages. So Islam was seen as a problem by Europeans, but in the end, actually had quite a big influence on the modernizing of the continent.
