One of the most valuable items that was traded along the Silk Road, was Chinese silk. Other items were spices, herbs, jewels, jade, glassware, cotton, gold, etc.

Answer 2

Answer:

The Silk Road was a series of trade routes set up throughout the Chinese "Han Dynasty" around 200 B.C. linking diverse civilizations from China all the way towards the Mediterranean; although trade was not the main purpose of it, and it was more like a network of pathways. It was named 'Silk Road' by German geographer Ferdinand Von Richthofen.

The Silk Road transformed the world and history since it merged cultures and founded global commerce; spreading knowledge, technology and being a cultural bridge between East and West; promoting not only commodity exchange but ideas, such as Buddhism and Islam; i.e. Buddhist monks traveled from India to Central Asia and China, so it connected different kingdoms and empires.

Why did the United States help train soldiers in El Salvador in the 1980s?a to put an end to human rights violations
to prevent the spread of communism
C to relieve prolonged economic sufferingd
to protect the Roman Catholic Church

Answers

Answer: B.to prevent the spread of communism

Explanation:

Reagan’s foremost international concern was in Central America, where he detected the most serious Communist threat. The tiny nation of El Salvador caught up since 1980 in a brutal struggle between Communist-supported revolutionaries and right-wing militants, received U.S. economic and military assistance. Critics argued that U.S. involvement guaranteed that the radical forces would gain public assistance by capitalizing on “anti-Yankee” sentiment. Supporters countered that allowing a Communist victory in El Salvador would lead all of Central America to enter the Communist camp (a new “domino” theory). By 1984, however, the U.S.-backed government of President José Napoleón Duarte had brought a modicum of stability to El Salvador.
