3. Overall, what were the positive aspects of the Mongol conquests? What were the negative aspects?

Positively, the Mongols were great conquerors and they respected each other, negatively, they brutally harmed people and valuables in the process. Charles J. Halperin wonderfully stated, “The Mongol Empire made significant contributions to the political institutions, economic development, and cultural diversity of many lands. No history of the Mongol Empire dwells only on Mongol destruction, can be satisfactory” (Doc 6). The history of the Mongols can’t only be about the negativity that they caused to society as the Mongols had a more positive impact rather than a negative impact. The Mongols created a vast empire throughout Eurasia, but it wasn’t worth killing over 5 million people in the process. In the end, as a result of the vast empire, they weren’t able to control it. Eventually, the Mongol empire and became a part of the society in the area and vanished

The Mongol Empire was the largest continuous land empire in history, taking control of many Afro-Eurasian societies in the thirteenth and fourteenth century. Not only were the Mongols militarily powerful, they were also administratively powerful. The Mongols had a major impact on societies of Afro-Eurasia during this time period because their conquests ruined cities, their cultural diverse population adopted controlling positions, and their administrative efficiency promoted economy.

The Mongols impacted civilizations all over the world. In the end though the Mongols blended into most civilizations they conquered,

Mongolian Empire pos. or neg. Was the mongol empire a positive or negative impact on the history of Asia? I would say that the mongol empire was positive, because they did a lot of good for asia like safety for those that are peaceful and war with those that are not. My first quote is from document #6

Mongols - A people mentioned as early as the records of the Tang Empire, lived in northern Eurasia. Established an enormous empire under Genghis Khan. This linked western and eastern Eurasia. The Mongols affected history positively and negatively, they caused death, suffering, conflagration, but also promoted the movement of people, expanding markets, and demand for products. They also revived Silk Road trade.

The Mongol Empire, an infamous empire in due to its oppressively powerful army, had an unavoidable influence on Eurasia including both positive effects, such as advancing trade and production of goods in less advanced societies (doc 5) as well as laying a powerful and protective influence on a number of societies (doc 2), and negative effects, being savagely murderous towards those societies in their path (doc 1), destroying important structures and cities of other societies (doc 7), and aggressively demanding a tribute be paid to them from Christian societies and others (doc 9), as well as effects that are considered neither negative nor positive effects, examples being that the Khan leader did not convert to Christianity when confronted

Despite committing some of the greatest atrocities in recorded history, the legacy of the Mongol Empire is also defined by their ingenious military campaign, their establishment of Pax Mongolica, and their contribution to immense cross-cultural interaction on the Eurasian continent. The word Mongol strikes a

In order for the Mongolian Empire to thrive, trade needed to be dominant throughout Eurasia so they could get basic resources. At the same time they had full control over China which expanded their empire even though they had to sacrifice many resources. They restricted religious rights and dismantled their Civil Service system. They also enforced laws that forbid intermarriage and the Chinese from learning the Mongolian language. They were also violent to others especially during their invasions. However, under all the brutality they helped do some great things for Eurasia. Thus the Mongolian empire had a positive effect on Eurasia because of the Pax Mongolica, the support and spread of religions, and the inventions created by the Chinese.

The Mongols were known to be cruel and nefarious but also positively impacted the world as well. Mongols specifically influenced Europe. In document 5, by the author Robert Guisepi, the Mongols influenced trade. It states in the document “ making possible the exchange of food, tools, and ideas on and trade routes brought great wealth to traders”( Doc 5). After the Roman Empire fell, the Silk Road also fell.

As I stated up above Genghis Khan and the Mongols had a positive impact on the world during their rule of the Asian continent from the years of 1260 and 1368. They influenced the Largest Empire twice as large as Alexander the Great’s, United China for the first time in forever, and trading along the Silk

    The Mongols destroyed many major civilizations, including the Muslims who were the most advanced civilizations at the time. The Mongols destroyed anything their paths, killing millions and destroying one third of China. Not only were the deaths caused by battle, the deaths were also caused by an epidemic called the Black Death. This epidemic was estimated to kill one third of Europe's population.

I believe that The Mongolians of the Asian Steppe had a negative impact on the world during their rule of the Asian continent from 1206 to 1368 by influencing they took over too much land, they also killed way too many people and they burned everything in its path.

During the Mongolian era and throughout history many civilizations have fallen and risen. The defeat of Eurasia led to 250 years of lasting impact throughout nations, which caused the Mongol empire to have both positive and negative causes and effects. The Mongol empire caused psychological warfare causing fear to people to nations causing them to surrender to the Mongols; The Mongol also caused the spread of epidemics and led the isolation of Russia.

The impact on other societies due to Genghis Khan were larger than one may expect. Many civilizations had to completely change the way they lived because of the violent tactics used by the Mongol Empire. There were more negative than positive changes that had to occur because of Genghis Khan but some of the positive impacts was the evolution of the Silk Road trading route. Even though the conquests brought fear and uncertainty, many relied on the Silk Road to stay alive as everything from food to horses to weaponry could be found at the Silk Road. An influx of people traded along this road shaping it into the well-known trading route we know about today. Even some Mongolian citizen who didn’t agree with the way their country was being run escaped,
