The Mongolian Empire’s Positive Consequences
One of the most brutal empires in history is the Mongolian Empire (Ruzzerion). Killing over ten percent of earth's human population. However, some of their actions were positive. The mongolian conquest resulted in many people dying and other negative outcomes, except there were even more positive outcomes to this empire.
The positive outcomes of the Mongolian empire are still affecting us today, and greatly affected them when they were alive. Things they did in their time helped us today with trade, protection, food marketing and even healthcare. Firstly, during the Pax Mongolica, which is the century of peace, they reopened the silk road

Many were killed to reach their goal, but this has brought many people together and has made it possible for people to thrive on earth today. Starting off, the Mongols liked a healthy army, they mainly focused on medicine and opened many hospitals around Europe to support their armies (Szczepanski). This allowed the spread of medical technology and medicine for the people. The Mongols introduced gunpowder to the world, this made the war tactics very more diverse (Szczepanski). This helps the modern day world fight in wars and serve a way for people to protect themselves. Russia was unified by the Mongols and later Russia defeated the Mongols after many years (Szczepanski).

This caused people to protest against them and ended in the protesters getting executed.

This helped the spread of education and church. The opening of the silk road introduced the spread of science technology. When they conquered Greece they were able to take their technology and spread throughout their kingdom. As stated before, the Mongols have helped our daily lives through technology. All in all, there are many positive events that have happened due to the way the Mongols conquered land and
