The First Silk War (simplified Chinese: 第一丝之战争; traditional Chinese: 第一絲之戰爭; pinyin: Dìyī Sī zhī Zhànzhēng) or the First Sino-Roman War was fought between the Roman Empire and its allies against the Song Empire of Serica from 1392 to 1401 with the original Roman aim of forcing Serica to stop exporting silk to the Roman Empire. However, the war soon became a war fueled by primarily border disputes. The First Silk War ended with an Allied victory and the Treaty of Baghdad, which prohibited silk from being sold to Romans and ceded several Serican territories to the Romans, Arabs, and Russians.
