The Mongol Empire had significant long-term effects on China, Russia, and Iran. In all three cases, the Mongols imposed a centralized government and heavy taxation, which resulted in economic decline and the disruption of local cultures. However, China experienced a revitalization under Mongol rule as they adopted Chinese administrative practices, while Russia and Iran faced more political and cultural challenges as the Mongols maintained their own distinct identity and systems of governance. Additionally, the Mongols had a lasting impact on the social structure of all three regions, as their conquests led to significant population shifts and the establishment of new elites.
