Genghis Khan significantly impacted the territories he conquered by establishing one of the largest empires in history, the Mongol Empire. His military conquests united disparate nomadic tribes and introduced innovative warfare strategies. He implemented policies promoting trade and communication along the Silk Road, which facilitated cultural exchange and economic growth. The Pax Mongolica, or Mongolian Peace, allowed for a relatively stable environment, encouraging the movement of ideas, goods, and people across Eurasia. His rule also contributed to globalization, as it catalyzed the movement of technologies, religions, and cultural practices, transforming the socio-political landscape of the regions under Mongol control.
