Answer 1

An example of a secondary source a historian might use in a study of the negative effects of the Mongolian Empire on Europe is **the 1353 painting The Battle of Leignitz by an unknown artist**. This is considered a secondary source because it interprets and represents events that occurred earlier and is created after the fact, unlike eyewitness accounts or original documents.
