Question

Eurasia has been called “A Cultural Crossroads”. In 3-4 sentences explain what is meant by that label. What was the Silk Road and what were three items that were traded on it?

Answer 1

Answer:

Eurasia is called a "cultural crossroad" because it is located between Asia and the rest of Europe. In this region many cultures mix. As a result of this position, many settlers, traders, and invaders have inhabited or passed through this region. 

For over 1,400 years, the silk route was a well-traveled network of passageways linking East and West civilizations. Merchants on the Silk Road traded goods such as silk, spices, and tea.
