Answer 1

The best summary is: "The collapse of the Mongol Empire resulted in most people in the conquered regions returning to their cultural roots."

Brief explanation: Mongol rule was relatively short-lived in many areas and did not permanently convert populations to Mongol religion or culture. After the Mongols lost power, local elites and populations often revived pre‑Mongol institutions and cultural practices (e.g., the Ming restoration of Confucian norms in China, revival of Persian culture in Iran, reassertion of Orthodox and local customs in Russian lands), even though some Mongol administrative or military influences persisted.
