I want to know the answer to the following question:
Avoiding the strength of Ottoman trade was accomplished with the discovery of what?
All the background I'm provided with is that "The Somali Muslim Ajuran Empire, allied with the Ottomans, defied the Portuguese economic monopoly in the Indian Ocean by employing a new coinage which followed the Ottoman pattern, thus proclaiming an attitude of economic independence in regard to the Portuguese.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
