The Silk Road was an ancient network of trade routes that connected the East and West, primarily used from around 130 BCE to the 1450s CE. It facilitated the exchange of goods, culture, and ideas, linking regions such as China, Central Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. The name derives from the lucrative silk trade that originated in China, but the route also enabled the trade of spices, precious metals, and other commodities. It played a crucial role in the cultural, technological, and economic exchanges between civilizations, shaping the development of the societies involved.
