Discuss the legacy of the Mongols in western and eastern Eurasia. How did they affect the political, economic, religious, and social systems of the people they conquered and the peoples they attempts to conquer?
The Mongols gave the west and east safety on the Silk Road, causing the spread of Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism, and ideas. They were extremely tolerant of other religions, seeing that they don’t really have one of their own. However, they did cause a lot of destruction. As for the east, the threat of the Mongols united Japan in defense. And by conquering all of China, they unify China. Their stay at China created Mandarin Chinese, and changed their culture into a more “free” way of life. So that it favored the merchants rather than the scholars.
