Asia's history features major developments seen in other parts of the world, as well as events that have affected those other regions.
These include the trade of the Silk Road, which spread cultures, languages, religions, and diseases throughout Afro-Eurasian trade.
Another major advancement was the innovation of gunpowder in medieval China, later developed by the Gunpowder empires, mainly by the Mughals and Safavids, which led to advanced warfare through the use of guns.
