B. Mongol invasions throughout the region
The Mongol invasions and conquests in the 13th century played a significant role in the history of Europe. The Mongol Empire, which became the largest contiguous empire in history, stretched across Asia and into Eastern Europe. The Mongols disrupted the social and political order of the areas they invaded, which had various consequences for the development of European powers. However, the so-called "Pax Mongolica" (or Mongol Peace) that followed the Mongol conquests also facilitated trade and cultural exchanges between the East and West, which had some positive effects for the growth and prosperity of European empires that arose later.
