The Silk Road Started 4,000 years ago that lead to today where we trade things with other Countries, that help with today’s needs. My claim is that The Silk Road was important because if it hadn't happened we wouldn’t know how to trade but thankfully four stable empires (Han,Kushan,Parthian, and Roman) kept the silk road going.First, while trading during the Silk Road people were not strong but they had camels to help carry the heavy things humans couldn’t carry.They were only used for long…

Have you ever wanted to know how the Mongols treated others? Well I have. They organized their army in groups, left marks of what they did, and they took the men and the women to help them against others. The Mongols are sometimes peaceable but they are primarily brutal. The Mongols organized the army by groups. They had groups of ten on top of ten. If groups ran off they would get killed. They even killed people that did not run off if some of the group did.

the monopoly on the silk trade. Silk was wanted by everyone. Considering its many uses, mostly in making clothes, silk was in high demand. This brought a great amount of revenue to Asia.

Still, man has managed to settle in deserts near to oases and pursue life there. People cross vast expanses of this arid region to reach others places which are more wet and fertile. Travel through a desert is in itself a variant experience similar to a sea voyage or warfare. Because one requires contesting and thriving in unfavourable…

With the help of Genghis Khan, he also created/retooled the weapons they used during their campaigns, and the use of animals for transportation and war. The horses that the Mongolian Empire used were small, but they were semi-equipped with armor and mainly used for infantry. The horses also helped them move quicker and run long distances so they can move faster during war and transportation. As well they’re nearly impossible to stop when in a pack.
