An example of a primary source a historian might use in a study of the negative effects of the Mongolian Empire on Europe is "the eyewitness account of the destruction of Kiev by Giovanni da Pian del Carpine in 1246." This account would provide direct evidence from someone who witnessed the events and can offer insight into the repercussions of the Mongol invasions.
