what started the silk trade
And who was involved are many asked questionswhen you talk about the Silk Road. In this chapter all these questions will be answered. The Silk Road was built during the Han Dynasty. The Chinese started to manufacture silk as clothing, which was the leading product in the Silk Road. The Silk Road was actually a 4,000 mile long network of routes stretched westward from China across Asia's deserts and mountain ranges through the Middle East, until it reaches the Mediterranean Sea.
