The Silk Road was a trade route that connected Europe, Asia and China. It was the route by means of which goods form the west were exchanged for commodities form the East. Chief amongst these commodities was silk cloth, the secret of silk being held by the Chinese. It was from this silk coming to the west that the trade route got its name.
