The Lasting Impact of Marco Polo's Travel Accounts

In the 13th century, the Republic of Venice was one of the leading merchant empires in Europe.

A small group of men from the same family made the extremely long and dangerous voyage to China during the reign of the Mongol Empire. 

The result was a more detailed description of China than had ever been known before in the West.
