  8. Effects of Mongols • 1. The Mongol conquests opened overland trade routes and brought about an unprecedented commercial integration of Eurasia. The growth of long-distance trade under the Mongols led to significant transfer of military and scientific knowledge among Europe, the Middle East, China, Iran, and Japan. • 2. Diseases including the bubonic plague also spread over the trade routes of the Mongol Empire.
