Answer - B - The Mongols remained a strong political force in Russia for more than 200 years following their conquest.

Key Takeaway: The Mongols conquered China, Russia, Persia, the Mesopotamia, and Northern India, among other places, but the Golden Horde of Russia had loose political influence until about the 1400s. In 1480 CE, Ivan the Great finally stopped playing tribute to the Mongols, whose influence in many other areas had lost its power, as well.
