The Ottoman Empire controlled one leg of the Silk Road and it would have been practically impossible for the Silk Road to have passed outside of Ottoman Territory if a land route were used. (The northern path through Kipchak and Russian territory was so dangerous that nobody would attempt it.) As a result, all silk road trade was controlled and delimited by the Ottomans.
