Explanation:

The Ottomans managed to create an empire at the most important strategic location when it came to trade. The empire was located right in the area where most of the trade between Europe and Asia was going on. Knowing how much this was important for both sides, especially for the Europeans, the Ottomans decided to use the opportunity and became very wealthy, and they did that by imposing higher taxes for all trade going through their territory. This was not seen fondly by the Europeans, so they started to look of routs around the Ottoman Empire, which eventually led to the trade route around Africa and through the Indian Ocean, as well as the discovery of the Americas.

with my recent question

both eastern and western early north american cultures were known for building wigwams and longhouses.

wigwams, also called wetus, were small houses of 8-10 feet tall, made of wooden frames covered with woven mats and sheets that were used by algonquian indians. similarly,   longhouses were also used by algonquian and the iroquois tribes, and they were built as well with pole frames and elm bark covering. however, the main difference between wigwams and longhouses is that the latter was much larger than the former, with 200 feet long, 20 feet wide, and 20 feet high with inner raised platforms used for sleeping space.
