What was the effect of the extensive Mongol Empire on the people who lived in Europe and Asia in the 1200s?
There are a number of states that rose to prominence in the 1200s, the most important were the Mongol Empire, the Almohad Caliphate, and the Mamluk Sultanate. While there were several other empires that were powerful at the beginning of the 1200s, like Jin Dynasty, the Song Dynasty, and the Sultanate of Khwarezm, these empires were smashed by the Mongol Empire by the end of the century.

In the late 13th century, several significant historical events occurred, including the conclusion of the Mongol invasions of Europe and the establishment of the Mongol Empire under Kublai Khan, which marked the height of Mongol power. The year 1291 saw the fall of Acre, the last Crusader stronghold in the Holy Land, effectively ending the Crusades. Additionally, the late 1200s witnessed the rise of the Italian city-states, particularly Venice and Florence, which became major centers of trade and culture.
