Answer 2

The correct answer is B) a group of Mongolia who controlled Russian territory for more than 200 years.

The statement that best describes the Golden Horde is "a group of Mongolia who controlled Russian territory for more than 200 years."

From 1240 to 1502, the Golden Horde was a group of Mongols who controlled the territories of what today is Ukrania, Russia, Moldovia, Kazakhstan, under the rule of Batu Khan, grandson of the famous Genghis Khan. Historians consider that the name "Golden Horde" could stem from the tents the rulers used. The era of the Golden Horde ended in 1502 when the Crimean Khanate captured the Mongol´s capital of Sarai.
