In most regions they conquered, they established long-lasting peace since there were reduced conflicts and territorial conquest. Through invasions, most areas were opened up, and connections were established, this made traversing between these regions easier hence people were able to move from one area to another. While expanding their empires, the Mongols acquired different skills from the diverse areas. Such skills combined with knowledge enhanced and developed skills which spread throughout the region of the empire, this promoted the innovation and technological advancement within the empire(Kallie).

Innovation and Trade

Innovation and technological progress encouraged the Mongols to develop cities. The expansion of the empire enabled increased trade; the traders were able to travel without being attacked by bandits or hindrance. Through trade, more products spread throughout the empire, more networks were established and knowledge increasingly spread. In an effort to reduce the distance between trade routes within the region, the traders discovered navigation through building ships and traversing in the open seas(Kallie).
