Expansion of Interregional Trade and Exchange

Between 1200 and 1500, expanding trade networks linked Europe, the Islamic world, India, and China through the Silk Road, Indian Ocean, and Trans-Saharan routes.
Merchants from Venice, Cairo, and Samarkand exchanged goods such as silk, spices, gold, ivory, and textiles.
The Mongol Empire and the Pax Mongolica (13th–14th centuries) made travel safer and revived long-distance trade.
Missionaries and pilgrims also used these routes, spreading religions i.e. Islam, Buddhism, and Christianity and creating shared cultural contact zones.
