→Impact of Invasions
==Impact of Invasions==
The Mongol invasions did cause a prolonged peaceful period called the <i>Pax Mongolica</i>. While in the period prior to the Mongols, many of the great states contended with rivalries and their own regional conquests, this also limited some contacts between them. The Mongol dominion now opened up new connections that were easier to traverse as regions between Eastern Europe to China were largely pacified. In Europe, and preceding the Age of Discovery that led to the founding of the New World, explorers such as Marco Polo were now able to more easily go on the Silk Road and travel across Eurasia with minimal hinderance and banditry.
