Editing Silk Road

{{WP-REAL}}
The '''Silk Road''' is a network of trade routes that connects the East and the West, and served as an important source of cultural, political and economic interactions from the 2nd century BCE to the 18th century. The Silk Road is named after the lucrative trade in silk carried out along its length, beginning with the [[Han dynasty]] in [[China]]. It also played a significant role in the development of the civilizations of China, [[Japan]], {{wiki|Korea}}, [[India]], [[Iran]], [[Europe]] and [[Arabia]].<ref name="WP">{{WP|Silk Road}}</ref>
