Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Answer is •The effect of Mongol rule on each society depended on whether the Mongols occupied the territory and ruled over it directly,and the extent to which the Mongols assimilated the culture of the conquered people.
•In Persia and China,Mongol occupation and direct rule left a deeper impact than in Russia where the Mongols ruled from afar.
•In Persia,the conversion of Mongol rulers to Islam made them more acceptable to the local population and had a more lasting effect on Persia.
•In China,partial accommodation of Chinese culture enabled Mongol rulers to draw from Chinese ideas to legitimize their imperial authority (Mandate of Heaven,Confucian rituals).However,their refusal to embrace all aspects of Chinese civilization and their maintenance of aspects of the lifestyle of the steppes contributed to views of them as foreign oppressors.In contrast to Persia,the long-term effect of Mongol rule on China was not as lasting or deep.
•Mongol rule did not directly affect Russian society,although its tributary policy did contribute to the decline of Kiev and the rise of Moscow.
