Answer 1

Answer:

1 Answer

Time, place, society, and individuals are four major pillars without which history cannot be written. Of these four components 'place' is related to geography or geographical conditions. This makes history and geography inseparable i.e. very closely related.

2)Answer

The silk routes are a good example of vibrant pre-modern trade and cultural links between distant parts of the world. The name ‘silk routes’ points to the importance of West-bound Chinese silk cargoes along this route. Historians have identified several silk routes, over land and by sea, knitting together vast regions of Asia, and linking Asia with Europe and northern Africa. They are known to have existed since before the Christian Era and thrived almost till the fifteenth century. But Chinese pottery also travelled the same route, as did textiles and spices from India and Southeast Asia. In return, precious metals – gold and silver – flowed from Europe to Asia.
