A Chinese emperor sent Marco Polo to find new lands, like India and Persia. He was gone for ten years. Then, when he came back, he told of many new ideas for inventions. And so, they had the idea to create a trade route (the silk route) for trading. Groups who travel on the silk route are called Caravan. Silk was popular in Europe.
