Students should use this answer to demonstrate their understanding of how the trade routes integrated trade, religion, and politics. Armenia is located between the Iranian states and the Mediterranean states and therefore became a "battleground" for control between these political and cultural entities. Students should discuss how the development of an Armenian alphabet facilitated the spread of Christianity in Armenia. In the case of Ethiopia, the Roman emperors in Constantinople sent missionaries to control that region. Students should discuss the story of Aedisius and Frumetius and how they were instrumental in the establishment of Christianity. Christian merchants also helped in establishing Christian communities in this East African kingdom.
