Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Pax Mongolica, which means "Mongol Peace," lasted for about two hundred years and created new opportunities for merchants and traders. It was a time of relative peace and stability across much of Asia and even parts of Europe, thanks to the Mongol Empire's efficient transportation networks and protection of trade routes. While there was certainly violence and destruction during this time, it also allowed for increased cultural exchange and economic growth. The Great Khan was a title held by the ruler of the Mongol Empire, but it was not limited to Baghdad or any specific location. Therefore, options B, D, and E are incorrect.
