The Silk Road was a network of trade routes that linked Asia with Europe. Traders and travelers began using the Silk Road more than 2,000 years ago. It remained in use until the late Middle Ages. Today, a small part of the old route is a paved highway between Pakistan and China. Silk and other Chinese goods went west, all the way to ancient Rome. Wool, gold, and glass were some of the goods that went east. By ad 1000 travel on the Silk Road had grown less safe, and traffic had declined. The Mongol Empire (The Yuan Dynasty) revived the Silk Road in the around 1270 after conquering the Chinese. This reopening led to the rise of Capitalism and the fall of feudalism. There also was a rise in commerce (trading) towns which led to cultural diffusion and inspire the Renaissance. The reopening of the Silk Road also led to new products coming into Europe.
