What was the significance of the closing of the Silk Road?

It gave Europeans the incentive to establish new overland trails into territories in Asia.
It inspired Europeans to discover the hidden secret of creating their own silk textiles.
It encouraged Europeans to develop naval technology to help them find new ways to obtain Asian goods.
