Just published a deep-dive on the Mongol Empire's trade legacy and what the Pax Mongolica actually meant for Eurasian commerce. The story isn't just about the violence of the conquests — it's about what came after: a century of relative political unity across Central Asia that enabled merchants, missionaries, and diplomats to travel from Europe to China and back. I focus on what actually flowed along those routes (goods, people, knowledge), why the Black Death was the dark side of that same connectivity, and how the eventual collapse of Mongol power pushed Europeans toward oceanic exploration. Linking the full post below for anyone interested in the intersection of political geography and economic history.
