Answer 1

Answer:

C.

Kublai Khan unified China, and Batu Khan unified most of Russia.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is option C. Kublai Khan unified China, and Batu Khan unified most of Russia.

Explanation:

After Genghis Khan's passing, the Mongol kingdom grew even more, eventually engulfing the majority of Eurasia that was habitable. Although the empire fell apart in the fourteenth century, many Asian state leaders claimed to be descended from Genghis Khan and his captains.

The invasion of Europe fell within Batu's purview as the western region of the Mongol empire's commander in chief. He had ruled all of Russia by 1240. When Kublai subdued the last of the Song supporters in 1279, he became the first Mongol to reign over all of China.

Therefore, the correct option is C.
