This approach not only united the fragmented Mongol tribes but also set the foundation for a diverse and powerful empire that impacted global trade and culture.

The establishment of the Pax Mongolica allowed for the safe passage of goods and ideas, significantly shaping the connections between East and West.
- The Mongol Empire's commitment to religious tolerance and inclusion played a critical role in its expansion and stability. By allowing diverse beliefs to coexist, Genghis Khan promoted a spirit of unity that encouraged loyalty among different peoples, ultimately contributing to the empire's longevity.
