Trade on the Silk Road was a significant factor in the development of the civilizations of China, the Indian subcontinent, Persia, Europe, the Horn of Africa and Arabia, opening long-distance, political and economic relations between the civilizations.he transmission of Buddhism to China via the Silk Road began in the 1st century CE, according to a semi-legendary account of an ambassador sent to the West by the Chinese Emperor Ming (58â75).
In this chapter we learned what the Silk Road was. The Silk Road was the largest trade route in the world. We learned about the Causes and the effects of the Silk Road. We also learned about what was traded and who was involved. Without it Buddhism wouldn't of spread and we wouldn't have books.
