Marco Polo's discoveries had a significant impact on European history and the subsequent Age of Exploration. His accounts of his travels to Asia sparked interest in trade with the East and helped to pave the way for later explorers and traders. His writings also provided valuable knowledge about Asian cultures, geography, and resources, influencing future European exploration and shaping global trade routes. Today, his legacy is remembered as an important milestone in opening up the East to the Western world and has contributed to the cultural exchange and understanding between different societies.
Marco Polo discovered a more efficient route to China. While, in China he discovered porcelain, jade, ivory, and more. He also, found interesting that China was so technology advanced when compared to Europe at that time. Marco Polo found these three main things quite of interest: 1.) the Paper Money Currency 2.) the coal 3.) the Imperial Mail (much like the Pony Express) If you feel you can add anymore to this answer feel free to! :)

They were suppose to spread Christianity to all people.
Kubla Kan would be the main one, but any minor people would not be given.
