Wait, just to confirm, the contest ends (if there is no tie) in roughly 20 hours?

I will post my answer when time is almost up.

But good gracious questions 3, 4, and 5 are extremely difficult. Bravo picking such in depth questions.

This was super tricky, so I wasn't able to answer all the questions.

1. The Maritime Silk Roads

2. Vasco da Gama

3. He began his first conquest in July of 1497, and he died on his fourth conquest in 1525. So he had control of many different colonies for roughly 28 years.

4. Not sure

5. Not sure

Answer 1: Monsoon Marketplace (mcshilling - 1 pt) was the answer I was looking for, as the Maritime Silkroad was more focused on China along with the continents I mentioned, whereas the Monsoon Marketplace is a more westward looking description, without a primary focus on East Asia.

Answer 2: Vasco de Gama (both get 1 pt)

Answer 3: This was misinterpreted. The language of question 4 suggests, the term colonizer is not an individual but a country, and that country was Portugal. Portugal had a formal presence in India from 1498 to 1961, so aproximate; 463 years. (no points).

Answer 4: Neither party provided the last ten coins. (Zero points) see https://coinweek.com/world-coins/th...guese-india/

Tie Breaker: No Answer

winner: mcshilling (2 points versus 1 point for SilverCent)

Congratulations, please email your address!
