How Did The Mongols Affect China

The Mongolian invasion of Europe impacted them in both negative and positive ways. During the initial invasion the Mongols they wiped out most of the population of some entire towns that resisted the invasion. In other regions they confiscated the crops and livestock preventing people from surviving on their own. The Mongol conquest also allowed deadly diseases to travel from its home range in china to Europe along newly restored trade routes. Some positive effects of the invasion came from the “Pax Mangolica” which was a century of peace among the neighboring lands who were also under Mongol rule. The peace allowed the reopening of silk road trading routes between china and Europe increasing wealth and allowing missionaries, traders, monks and explores explore and share their message throughout the land. Another positive effect by the invasion was the unity
For the first time in history china was ruled by a foreign nonnative ruler. The Mongols like in Europe impacted China greatly during their invasion, but unlike Europe in China it was more of a negative effect then positive. The Mongols changed China “huji system” which some relate it to a caste system, they also effected their standards and values. They favored the peasants, merchants and artisans because they produced the things they needed. The Mongols were nomadic, travelers and traders so they related better with the peasant class because of the similarities of their everyday life. Mongols had a bad effect on the Chinese trading, since most of the Mongols where conquers and nomads they were not good at governing and couldn’t control the trading properly which resulted in a speedy decline over time. Central Asia was also invaded during this time which marked the beginning of the Mongol conquest of the Islamic states. It broke the shahs’ army and united all the lands
