Question

Answer 1

the silk road or the silk route was an ancient network for trade routes that were for centuries central to cultural interaction through the regions of the Asian continent connecting to the east and the west and stretching from the Korean peninsula and Japan to the Mediterranean sea

Answer 2

When the Han dynasty of China conquered Central Asia around 200 BCE, it became possible to travel safely all the way to the borders of Persia and then westward to the Mediterranean Sea. Merchants who transported goods such as silk and gold along this route could make large profits and the places they stopped at along the way often became rich cities. The silk Road was at its height in the time of the Chinese Tang dynasty (618-907 CE) and then under the Mongols (13th-14th century).
