Oasis Road - Oasis Road (English spelling) oasis-route

Japanese: オアシスの道 - オアシスのみち（英語表記）oasis-route

A trade route linking the oases of Central Asia. Also known as the Silk Road.
The shortest route connecting the eastern and western civilizations, passing from China through Turkestan, the Iranian Plateau, and Mesopotamia. Nomads often intervened along this trade route in an attempt to profit from it, but from the 8th century onwards Islamic forces advanced along it and it came under their control. As Islamic forces expanded, trade routes were established across three continents, including Africa.

中央アジアのオアシスを連ねる交易路。別名絹の道（シルク−ロード）
中国からトルキスタン・イラン高原・メソポタミアを通る，東西の文明圏を最短距離で結ぶ道。この交易路の利益をねらう遊牧民の介入も多くみられるが，８世紀以降イスラーム勢力が進出し，その支配下にはいった。イスラーム勢力の拡大に伴い，アフリカも含めた，三大陸にまたがる交易路が成立した。
