What was the relationship between the trade routes that developed, linking axial-age empires to each other and to surrounding peoples, and the spread of the systems of thought that arose during this period?
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary but correct responses should include: As empires develop, especially the Greek and Indian empires, trade and colonialism spread culture between the settlements and civilizations. These long-range cultural exchanges set the stage for connections that would bring new thinking, philosophies, and religions to these settlements and civilizations. As innovations in thought began in Greece, India, and China they spread along these routes, causing intense exchanges and permeating cultures in regions far and wide.
