Content: 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. While the Mongol empire and khanates peaked rapidly and declined rapidly, their impacts left a lasting mark upon global history. Their empire set the world up for its entrance into the modern age. The global connections they built remained after their demise as a global power. HD1: PAX MONGOLIA AND THE GROWTH OF LAND-BASED TRADE UNDER THE MONGOLS
