I’m on chapter 12 I think, it’s now moving out of the peak of the Silk Road and towards its collapse. By collapse I mean the point where it stops being interesting to me.
From here it will just talk about the current system we have today. Where countries are trading from across the globe and how it begins. Which I’ve already inferred just from my own research.

Just finished the mongols, slavery and faith. The slavery indirectly led to the mongols stopping in the Middle East. Faith led to the overzealous of Europe and the Mongols.. well they’re the mongols you know the story.

Pretty interesting so far, gives further context on just how behind Europe was for so long. It puts a dent in a European exceptionalism view. But it does struggle with trying to put more of it on a single region. That being the Middle East rather than acknowledging it’s a global effort that brought great change to the world rather than the effort of one region.
