the advantge of the silk road was it trading and the decline was because of the civil war in china
The silk road disappeared because the Northern European powers of England, Holland, and France, developed ships that could sail against the wind. These ships could carry much more cargo and at a higher speed than the Arab camels of the silk road. As a result, the silk road fell into disuse. The road is still used by local people but is no longer used as a long distance route.
