THE MONGOLS AND EURASIAN TRADE AND COMMUNICATION
Learning Objective 2C
Explain how the expansion of
empires influenced trade and
communication over time. Historical Development 1
The expansion of the Mongol empire facilitated Afro-Eurasian trade and communication. Historical Objective 2D
Interregional conflict and contacts across the Mongol Empire encouraged significant technological and cultural transfers. Historical Development 2
Interregional contacts and conflicts during the Mongol empire encourage significant technological and cultural transfer. The growth of the Mongol empire brought a boom of increased interregional connections between distant peoples and civilizations. For the first time in history, the Mongols had connected nearly the whole of the Eurasian landmass under a single group’s leadership. As a result, land-based trade across Eurasia was rejuvenated as the Silk Roads became increasingly import movers of goods, peoples, cultures, and ideas.
