Introduction to World History to 1600 (Terran)
Wednesday 1:00-3:00 pm

“More discussion concerning the Silk Road today,” Seimei said as he sunk into his pillows at his low table. He gestured to the scroll across the front of the classroom.

How did the Mongols affect trade along the Silk Road?

The partial unification of so many states under the Mongol Empire allowed a significant interaction between cultures of different regions. The route of the Silk Road became important as a path for communication between different parts of the Empire, and trading was continued. Although they were less 'civilized' than people in the west, the Mongols were more open to ideas.

Mongols prized their commercial and trade relationships with neighboring economies and this policy they continued during the process of their conquests and during the expansion of their empire. All merchants and ambassadors, having proper documentation and authorization, traveling through their realms were protected. This greatly increased overland trade like the Silk Road.

Sakura wandered into class, glanced at the discussion question and shrugged. She really didn't care about the Mongols at the moment. Damnit, she was having a bad day. Why did this always have to happen on days she had History?
