Answer The Silk Road gave Europeans the oppurtunity to come in contact with China which led to the discovery of firearms for military purposes. Paper came from China, and the printing press was soon born by a German inventor by the name of Johannes Gutenberg. The Silk Road provided different cultures to come in contact with each other, they shared worldviews such as mathematics, philosophy, etc. The contact with the Arabs led to the rediscovery of Greek and Roman Culture. Europe had been in the shadows before these period and after discovering Greek and Roman culture, many people views on life started to change. It was no longer about the afterlife, but now, humans wanted to survive in style, to study the way the heavely bodies worked, perfection was now the goal of the "Renaissance Man".
