<h2>Silk Road History</h2><h3><u>The Silk Road</u></h3>

The east-west trade routes between Greece and China began to open during the first and second centuries B.C. The Roman Empire and the Kushan Empire (which ruled territory in what is now northern India) also benefited from the commerce created by the route along the Silk Road.

<h3><u>Why it was important and why</u></h3>

Because silk was the major trade product which traveled on this road, it was named the Silk Road in 1877 by Ferdinand von Richthofen – a well-known German geographer. This ancient route not only circulated goods, but also exchanged the splendid cultures of China, India, Persia, Arabia, Greek and Rome.

<h3><u>How it got it's name</u></h3>

The Silk Road derives its name from the lucrative Asian silk, a major reason for the connection of trade routes into an extensive transcontinental network. The German terms Seidenstraße and Seidenstraßen ("the Silk Road(s)") were coined by Ferdinand von Richthofen, who made seven expeditions to China from 1868 to 1872.

One area the North had complete dominance was in transportation. With railroads being the major means of transportation at the time, the side with more railroads was considered more equipped and the North had more than twice the railroads the South had.
