Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Long-distance trade in the thirteenth century occurred through a series of interlocking trade networks, with goods being passed along from one network to another. The Silk Road was one of these networks, but trade also occurred through sea routes, such as the Indian Ocean trade network. The Venetian merchants did engage in long-distance trade, but it was not the only or primary form of trade, especially not to India. The fall of the Mongol empire occurred in the fourteenth century, after the peak of the thirteenth-century trade. The foundation of the Ottoman Empire occurred in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, too late to have an impact on thirteenth-century trade.
