also incase the thesis for part 3 is needed this is what I put:

The extent of the expansion of the Mongol Empire resulted in social and cultural changes in Afro-Eurasia between 1200 and 1350 CE. The Silk Road trade aided in the expansion of the Mongol Empire by increasing trade and boosting their economy. The Mongol Empire gained control of more areas and eventually almost the entirety of the silk road, enabling them to spread and change culture in Afro-Eurasia.
