These societies relied on a pastoral economy that exploited the natural resources of the open steppe. This reliance on pastoralism made these societies experts on the use of pack animals including horses, camels and oxen. These transport technologies combined with potential for vast profits from the trade in silk, glassware, cotton cloth, horses, spices, perfumes and slaves led to the rise of the Silk Road. The Silk Road operated in two principle phases, the first from about 100 BCE to 800 CE. In this period the trade route linked the Roman Empire in the west, the Chinese dynasties of the Han, Sui and Tang in the East, the Indian empires of the Mauryan and Gupta in the south, and the Persians in the middle. The Silk Road peaked again from 1200 to 1500 (see SSWH4e). 19. What qualities would lead to the Silk Road, and based on previous notes why do you think it's called the Silk Road? 20. During the first phase of the Silk Road, it functioned primarily as a relay system with each merchant only traveling a portion of the full length of the road. Major trading cities developed as a result of this system like Chang'an, Samarkand, and Bukhara. While individuals rarely traveled the full length of the trade routes, elements of culture and technology did. Some key examples of this include: -Buddhism spread from India to China -Christianity spread to the east -the stirrup spread from Central Asia to Europe, China, and the Middle East -horse technology spread to China -New crops were introduced to China (alfalfa, grapes), Rome (peaches, apricots), and the Middle East (rice, sugarcane, and cotton) Camel Grazing in the Steppe by Russian photographer Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii (1863-1944) Silk Road and Indian Ocean Maritime. 20. What would be traded through the Silk Road? How might this trade route effect the World as a whole? 21. The predictable nature of the monsoon winds of the Indian Ocean eased open-water navigation and led to the rise of a vast network of exchange between East Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and China in the Classical Age. Mariners, motivated by potential profits from the exchange in goods like ebony, ivory, copper, myrrh, frankincense, dates, spices, jewels, cotton cloth, and silk developed technologies that capitalized on the monsoon winds and allowed the efficient transport of massive amounts of goods. These technologies include the dhow and lateen sail developed by Arab sailors and the junk developed by the Chinese. 21. How might the growth of sea trade lead to more expansive trade network? 22. The seasonal nature of the monsoon winds forced long stays by sailors in their various ports of call. This led to the establishment of diasporic communities in the major ports of the Indian Ocean Maritime System. Several of the diasporic communities left an enduring impact of the host culture. For example the Swahili language of East Africa is a product of the blending of Arabic with indigenous Bantu languages and the Malay Peninsula has a Chinese community that endures to this day 22. How might the impact of trade, change cultures for the better and worse?
