Political Impact of Mongol Rule in Russia and China

Mongol rule in China led to political structure that was very similar to the structure before. This was by founding the Yuan Empire. This empire was founded by the Mongols and led to the re-unification of China. It followed the dynastic cycle like previous dynasties. The Mongols thought that the previous dynasties had worked so efficiently that they might as well not change anything. There was a striking difference between China and Russia’s Mongol rule. Mongol rule in Russia led to the later influence of absolute rule by the latter Czars. This was different than China because the Mongol rule in China did not greatly impact the political structure later on while it did Russia. They are both similar by providing a political structure that unified the people the Mongols ruled over.
