Information About

Pax Mongolica




A saying existed that a naked maiden could ride the length of the Empire without fear of molestation, so thoroughly had the Mongols intimidated the peoples under their control.

The conquests of Genghis Khan effectively connected the Eastern World with the Western World for the first time, ruling a territory from Southeast Asia to Central Europe. The Silk Road , connecting trade centers across Asia and Europe, came under the sole rule of the Mongol Empire. The term Pax Mongolica is used to describe the eased communication and commerce the unified administration helped to create.
