History

Which outcome occurred if seventh-century Byzantium used silk trade embargoes?

A)Strengthened Lombardic textile production
B)Enhanced Frankish political dominance
C)Diminished Avar tribute demands
D)Increased Sasanian military expenditure

💡 Explanation

Silk road competition influenced state power and taxation; diminished Byzantine revenue through diminished foreign tributes empowered competing entities via competitive advantage, because a trade restriction shifts the dynamics of the supply chain. Therefore, Lombard textile industries flourished, rather than the other listed alternatives as they related indirectly within the sphere of the eastern power.
