Question

1. based on your knowledge of world history answer the following question in the box provided.

identify one change resulting from the mongol invasion in russia, china, or the islamic world and how did that change affect the people living in that region.

Explanation:

To answer, we can choose a region, e.g., Russia. A change from Mongol invasion was the establishment of the Mongol - controlled Khanate of the Golden Horde. This led to a system of tribute collection from Russian principalities. The people were affected as they had to pay heavy tributes, which strained their economic resources, but also, over time, the Mongol rule facilitated the centralization of Russian states as they had to cooperate more to deal with the Mongol authority, and there was cultural exchange (e.g., in administrative and military practices). Another example: in China, the Mongols established the Yuan Dynasty. This led to a change in the social hierarchy, with Mongols and other non - Han ethnic groups having higher status initially. The Chinese people, especially the Han, faced discrimination in some aspects like job opportunities in the early Yuan, but the Yuan also promoted trade (like the Silk Road revival) which benefited merchants and led to cultural exchange (e.g., introduction of new technologies and ideas). For the Islamic World, the Mongol invasion led to the destruction of cities like Baghdad, disrupting the Islamic Golden Age's cultural and scientific centers. The people faced loss of life, destruction of infrastructure, but also, over time, the Mongols adopted Islam in some regions, leading to a new phase of Islamic - Mongol cultural synthesis.

Answer:

One change in Russia from the Mongol invasion was the establishment of the Khanate of the Golden Horde, which imposed a tribute system on Russian principalities. The Russian people had to pay heavy tributes, straining their economies, but this also spurred the centralization of Russian states as they collaborated to handle Mongol rule, and there was cultural exchange in administration and military practices.
