Silk, Sea, and Sand roads, building civilization

Trade was a major stepping stone that made our world what it is today, diverse and international. In my personal opinion, I felt Silk Roads were the most progressive when reaching out to different people. Sand Roads stayed more along the Niger River, not giving them a wide variety of people to interact with. Sea Roads branched out more interacting with different people from different Islands and were able to actually carry more shipment. Yet, Silk Roads, I felt its trade flourished more and made a wider impact on the diversity with the people the merchants interacted with, even though they were on horseback. Silk Roads started a new way of interacting with different cities and states. It eventually was very well known by the people and they protected their travelers and merchants. Women were the main logic behind the trade system in the Silk Roads, showing how they could be the same as men and run the business. Women were well respected by the merchants and travelers. Showing, how the Silk Roads were good to evolve our people into the Modern Era, bringing diversity and culture into our society. Spreading our culture throughout the states and interacting with different people making our world international.
