This is an excerpt about the Mongolian invasions. "The impact of the Mongolian invasions was felt across most of Asia and much of Europe where their conquests resulted in the largest land empire in history. To rule the new Mongol Empire, Genghis Khan set up a capital city at Karakorum. Mongol armies traveled both to the west and to the east. Some went as far as central Europe. Perhaps even more importantly, the Mongol conques t of central Asia and eastern Europe allowed a deadly disease, the bubonic plague to travel from its home range in western China and Mongolia to Europe along newly-restored trade routes. Mongol forces attached the Song dynasty in the 1260s. In their attack on the Chinese, the Mongols encountered the use of gunpowder and the fire-lance. In 1279, Kublai Khan completed the conquest of the Song and set up a new Chinese dynasty, the Yuan. The effects of the Mongol invasion of China were seen far and wide. Over time, the Mongol dynasty won the support of many Chinese people. Some came to respect the stability and prosperity that the Mongols brought. By bringing the entire Eurasian landmass under a single rule, the Mongols increased trade, especially along the Silk Road. This new trade had a major impact on Europe. The capital at Khanbalik was a magnificent city, and foreign visitors, such as Marco Polo, were impressed by its splendor. An effect of these foreign visits was to generate new interest in trade between Europe and China. The Mongol dynasty eventually fell victim to the same problems that had plagued other dynasties: too much spending on foreign conquests, corruption at court, and growing internal instability. In 1368, the Mongol dynasty ended." Which statement BEST summarizes the major impacts of the Mongolian invasions?
