The Silk Road has a great impact on medieval Europe. The Silk Road is an ancient trade route between China and the Mediterranean, 4,000 miles between each other; followed by Marco Polo in the 13th century to reach Cathay. China trades with West Europe past the Mediterranean. This made life easier for the different people from both sides of the Mediterranean.
The first change that Silk Road brought was to enable people to transport trade goods to other cultures and countries. They usually sell spices and natural resources type of things, and clothes. Trade on the Silk Road was a significant factor in the development of the great Civilizations. And in several respects helped lay the foundations for the modern world. The Silk Road also divides into the northern and southern routes bypassing the Taklimakan Desert.
Another change that occurred by the Silk Road was that it started to trade with countries that only could be reached by the sea. The sea routes were around southern Asia to reach to countries like the Philippians, Japan and others.
A negative change that happened because of the Silk Road was Social Consequences. The social consequences effected china and Europe in a negative way through people who need different kinds of things.
