What were the Silk Roads, and why were they important?

The Silk Road was a network of trade routes connecting China and the Far East with the Middle East and Europe.

The Silk Road was important because it helped to generate trade and commerce between a number of different kingdoms and empires. This helped for ideas, culture, inventions, and unique products to spread across much of the settled world.
