Sometimes, when people go to war hard enough, the end result is peace. The Pax Mongolica was a period of
peace and prosperity that followed the Mongol conquests in the 13th and 14th Centuries. At that point, Mongols were at the
height of their powers. Their empire stretched nearly 15 million square kilometers (9.3 million sq mi) and contained over 100 million people. For reference, the United States has 9.83 million square kilometers (3.79 million sq mi) of land.Because this vast land was under a common government, with an efficient communication system and booming international trade, the empire thrived and everyone was happy. The fearsome Mongols had actually managed to create one of the most peaceful periods in history.
