Process1.Look at the map below and consider the question: Where do you think major trade routes passed through South and Southeast Asia c. 1200-1450 CE? •Draw your predictions on the map below using dashed lines.•Hint: you might wish to consider coastlines and proximity to China, the Middle East, and the Indian Ocean.2.How might these trade routes have influenced the spread of religions?•Shade or label areas where you think Buddhism, Hinduism, and Islam might have been influential. 3.If you’re able to, compare maps with a classmate.
