Answer 1

Answer:

decreasing the risk of bandit attacks and reducing the number of local rulers collecting tribute from trade caravans.

Explanation:

The Mongol conquests which extended from Pacific coast of China to Eastern Europe also led to the revival of the ancient Silk Route. The Mongols encouraged trade along the Silk Route by decreasing the risk of bandit attacks and reducing the number of local rulers collecting tribute from trade caravans.

Often called as the Pax Mongolia, the route was protected under the Mongol empire. It brought stability and promoted goods exchange and trade between Europe and East Asia.
