Kukho umlando othi abalusi, abadla iibhokhwe, baba ngoovulindlela, baqaphela ukuba iibhokhwe emva kokusetyenziswa kweebhontshisi zekhofi zasendle zazigqithise amandla. Emva koko ikhofi yasasa eYiputa naseYemen. Kwaye ekuqaleni kwenkulungwane ye-XV, kwaye yafika kumazwe aseNyakatho Afrika, eMbindi Mpuma, eTurkey nasePersia.
Kwamaninzi kula mazwe, ikhofi yadlala indima ebalulekileyo. Ngokomzekelo, imikhosi yonqulo yabanjwa eYen naseAfrika kunye nekhofi. Ngenxa yesi sizathu, ngaphambi kokulawula koMlawuli uMenelik II wase-Ethiopia, icawa yendawo yavalwa ukusetyenziswa kweefotyi zekhofi. Kwakhona, ikhofi yayivinjelwe eMbusweni wase-Ottoman eTurkey ngekhulu le-17 lemibandela yezombusazwe.
Ekuqaleni kwee-1600. Ikofi yanda kakhulu eNgilandi, kwaye ngo-1657 iFransi yaza yaziwa kakhulu ngekhofi. I-Austria kunye nePoland ngo-1683, ngenxa yeVienna imfazwe neTurks, yabamba iikhofi kwiiTurks.

Oku kwaqhutyelwa ngorhwebo oluphumeleleyo eNyakatho Afrika nakwiVenice, kunye neMpuma-mpuma kunye neYiputa. Kwaye sele ivela eKenice ikhofi yafika kumazwe aseYurophu.
Ukuthandwa kakhulu kunye nokuthandwa kwekhofi kwafunyanwa kubulela kuPapa uClement VIII ngo-1600, kunye nemvume yekhofi eyayicatshangelwa "isiselo samaKristu". Nangona kukho abaninzi banxusa uPapa nge sicelo sokunqanda "isiselo seSilamsi".
Ukuvulwa kwendlu yekhofi
Ilizwe lokuqala laseYurophu, elalivula ivenkile yekhofi, yayingu-Italy. Esi siganeko senzeke ngo-1645. AmaDutch aye abe ngabokuqala bokuqala beefotyi zekhofi. UPeter van den Brock waphula umthetho okhoyo kwiindawo zamaSulumane kumazwe angaphandle. I-contraband yenziwa ngo-1616 ukusuka e-Aden ukuya eYurophu. Kamva, amaDatshi aqala ukukhula kwezityalo zekhofi kwiziqithi zaseJava naseCeylon.
Nangona kunjalo, kwixesha lekoloniyali, eliye lawela eNyakatho yeMerika, ikhofi ekuqaleni yayingathandwa kakhulu, xa kuthelekiswa neYurophu. Imfuno yekhofi eNyakatho Melika yaqala ukukhula ngexesha leMfazwe yeNguquko. Ngoko ke, abathengisi, ukwenzela ukugcina izinto zabo ezincinci, baphoqeleka ukuba baphumelele kakhulu kwixabiso.
