Correct answer: trade increased between the Middle East and the West.
Brief explanation:
- The Crusades opened new trade routes and contacts, increasing demand in Europe for Eastern goods (spices, silk, sugar) and bringing more cultural and technological exchange.
- The two Churches did not reunite; relations between Latin and Orthodox churches were worsened (e.g., sack of Constantinople in 1204).
- The Mongols did not lose land to the Byzantine Empire; Mongol activity was largely separate and often hostile to Byzantium.
- While the West did gain some economic and political benefits (so in a broader sense Western power grew), the clearest direct result is the increase in trade.
