Travels of Marco Polo & Ibn Batutta
The Mongols from the grasslands of Central Asia swept across Eurasia in the 13th century to create the largest empires in world history. They brutalized the Abbasid Empire and the Russian principalities, but they also established the Pax Mongolia that supported trade along the Silk Road. Kublai Khan established the Yuan dynasty in China, where he essentially kept the Chinese political and economic systems in place.
