It opened up new pathways for people from Europe to trade with people in the Middle East and Asia. Europeans were interested in silks and spices, but there was also an exchange of ideas, fashion, technology, medicine.

You could actually go one step further and relate this to the discovery of America. Because, the argument can be made, that, once the Europeans got interested in what the silk road had to offer, they continually found ways to reach the source, quicker, and Columbus’ journey was predicated upon the idea of finding quicker route to the East.
