Eastward to Tartary

"Eastward to Tartary" refers to the historical route and concept from Europe extending eastward towards the distant region known as Tartary—an outdated term used in medieval and early modern times to describe vast parts of Asia, including Central and Northern Asia. It symbolizes the geographical span and exploration efforts of Europeans, particularly during the Age of Discovery, as they ventured into unfamiliar territories beyond the familiar European continent. The phrase encapsulates the idea of expanding knowledge, trade, and influence toward the east, highlighting the historical curiosity and engagement with these vast, largely unknown lands.
