The Silk Road

My Final Exam for Social Studies is coming around the corner and I need to study about the Silk Road, and why's it called the Silk Road, so hear goes: Apparently, the Silk Road is named the Silk Road, because the traders and merchants from China brought silk to places (Africa and Europe mostly) and had to go through treacherous lands and waters. After years of trading and purchasing and traveling, the merchants found reliable ways into the African and European lands. Which is, of course the Silk Road. Now the Silk Road was used for both Silk and Spices, and there would be thievery along the way, so they brought along guards, which made a large procession.
