[Anarchy]

So for a class final I have to write a 15 page paper on any topic I choose relating to the class.

The class is mainly focused on what's called the "Silk Road", which fundamentally is a trade route that is roughly from Turkey to China, and includes India, Russia, and pretty much anywhere in Asia.

So I need a topic to write about that has to do with the past, present, and/or future of specific topics in Asia.

Can't think of anything. Any ideas? Thought about doing pollution and the Chinese EPA, maybe a paper on Tibet and the possibility of rebellion. Nothing really "good" and easy to research yet though.

Thanks.

Definitely do the Crusades' effect on this Silk Road (so you can talk about the Assassins and the Templars, lol).

Genius, actually.

Also, gunpowder.

I'm a road?

Well, the Silk Road was almost certainly an indirect contributing factor to the spread of the Bubonic Plague, which wiped out almost 2/3 of Europe's population....so there's that.
