| | Sultanate of Malacca - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | One of the factors that contributed to the rise of Malacca was the monsoon winds that enabled Arab and Indian traders from the west to travel to China in the east and vice versa. | | | Trouble however ensued immediately after the general feeling of rivalry between Islam and Christianity was invoked by a group of Goa Muslims in the sultan's court. | | | His conversion also encouraged his subjects to embrace Islam and this is how Malacca became a sultanate. |

| | World Oil Transit "Chokepoints" Country Analysis Brief |
| | Concerns/Background: The Strait of Malacca, linking the Indian and Pacific Oceans, is the shortest sea route between three of the world's most populous countries -- India, China, and Indonesia -- and therefore is considered to be the key choke point in Asia. | | | Along the way, tankers encounter several geographic "chokepoints," or narrow channels, such as the Strait of Hormuz leading out of the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Malacca linking the Indian Ocean (and oil coming from the Middle East) with the Pacific Ocean (and major consuming markets in Asia). | | | Location: Egypt; connects the Red Sea and Gulf of Suez with the Mediterranean Sea |
