Caliph Of Baghdad Argument

The impact of the crusades were more negative because they had bad reasons and because they fought nine times in the 13 centuries and many Christians were fighting against Jews. After the Christians and Jews fought the crusades still attacked each other.It also made lasting war between two religions.

The next topic in a few of the documents(4,8, and 9) directly relate to the previous paragraph. The warfare techniques used by the Mongolians and devised by the Khans and the commanders. In doc.4 Juvaini, a former historian for the Mongols and later governor of Baghdad, wrote about how the army was arranged. It is arranged in such a manner that there are groups of ten with one of them being commander of the other nine. Ten groups of ten equal a larger squad with one of the hundred being the leader. Then 1,000 and the last rank 10,000 is called a tümen. Documents 8 and 9 are simply a letter from the Pope Innocent IV to Genghis Khan and a reply. The Pope basically saying that he has invaded many countries and does not spare anyone. His reply is to use Eternal Heaven as his excuse for killing. These two documents show that Genghis Khan was infamous and believed in a God, making him religious. He is like the Islamic people that fight for Allah. Pope Innocent IV believes that Genghis Khan is being irrational with all his killings and rages because he does not spare anyone. He is a reliable source due to his being a Pope and how influential a Pope is.

Many historians have different views on whether the Mongols had a positive or negative affect on the world during their time period. Over the course of their rule the Mongols had a couple of powerful leaders that brought different views and ideas of what an empire should look like, and how it should be run. Genghis Khan ruled from 1206 to 1227 A.D. He brought great military strengths that helped them conquer a lot of land. After his death in 1227 A.D. many rulers had come and gone. In 1271 A.D. Genghis’ grandson took charge. He had a different approach to ruling the empire. Unlike Genghis he was not a military leader, but rather a “business man” that helped increase foreign trade. Overall the Mongolians of the Asian Steppe had a positive impact on the world during their rule of the Asian continent from 1206 to 1368 by influencing trade, inventions, and unification amongst China.

The trial of Genghis Khan was indeed a mind-boggling and controversial session that ended in a split verdict with strong arguments from both the prosecutors and defendants that clearly propelled the end result. Genghis Khan was the leader and founder of the Mongol Empire; a nomadic group from north asia, who killed many whilst they were invading Eurasia in the 13th-14th century. While they killed a significant amount of people, they made incredible improvements during their reign and helped reform the economy. Both of the arguments were valid and therefore the court went into order. Khan and his descendants had been indicted guilty of crimes against humanity and as uncivilized conquerors and rulers.

According to Engelberg (1986), Chin showed little to no remorse for his actions. In the interview he read from a list of points in Chinese characters, he said that prison was a small price to pay in exchange for improving the lives of one billion Chinese. He believed his native country greatly benefited from closer relations with the United States. Chin’s only motivation for committing espionage was to better U.S. and Chinese relations.

The prosecution also had a good point on the mongolian viciousness and unrelenting destruction of cities and the murder of the innocent civilians does play a role the mongols being uncivilized. But many other empires such as the Roman empire killed many but were classified as civilized. After this long and hard fought trail I have decided in favor of the

That witness was Jay Wilds. As I stated previously Wilds has lied many times in interviews and now has a record with the police. Not only has Wilds lied on multiple accounts but he is very inconsistent with his story of the day Hae Min Lee was killed. When Wilds first was recorded in the interview with the police the interview he signed a waver three hours before saying he was willing to be recorded( Episode 8).Within those three hours of unrecorded time Wilds could have been cleaning up his story to match the police's information. Wilds was shown the phone recorded recovered before he was recorded on tape. During the interview tape that the podcast Serial played the investigators were almost helping Wilds along with his story. The main points of the story was Syed called Wilds from a payphone at Bestbuy to pick him up. Adnan pops the trunk at Best Buy to show Wilds the body, they drop the car and the body at the I-70 park and ride, came back after track practice and drove to buried the body in Leakin park and ended by dropped Wilds off at his house (Episode 1). Within the first couple of time Wilds tell this story major inconsistencies start to appear. First where Syed and Wilds went after they dropped off the body. First Wilds said they took a drive around and smoked weed, then Wilds said they went to Patapsco state park and lastly a friends house by the name of Cathy which was later confirmed.

The reliability if an eyewitness testimony is questionable. The witness may be so certain that the person that thy are pointing out is one hundred per cent the suspect or they could be so certain when it comes to retelling the incident, although these people are so sure on what it is they are doing, their testimony cannot always accurate. Due to the lack of accuracy with eyewitness

Documents 1, 2, and 8 show that various peoples viewed the Mongols positively in Eurasia. Document 1 is written by Genghis Khan’s shaman. He believes that Genghis Khan brought needed good to the region of Eurasia, by stating that “Before you [Genghis] were born... everyone was feuding” (Document 1). He believes this due to his high social status in the Mongol Empire, so not obeying the ruler, Genghis Khan, would be considered as a death penalty. This supports my claim because this quote and analysis show that before Genghis, chaos was everywhere, and after Genghis, the world was in a more peaceful state. Documents 2 and 8 also show that various peoples viewed the Mongols positively. William of Rubruck admires the palace of the court as fancy and royal, stating that “the whole dwelling was completely covered inside with cloth of gold, and in the middle

The Arab empire had a better trade than the byzantine empire. I think they had a better trade because they spread out their religion.Another reason they spread out is they had more resources.

Document 4 displays the brutality of the Mongols, and the significance that brutality in Mongol rule. The Christians offer of peace, and Genghis Khan’s reaction the Pope’s offer show an example of the consequences of even the slightest negative attitude toward the Mongols. Because, when the peace is offered to Genghis Khan, he voraciously denies it and vows to continue aggression, on the basis that the Christians happened to slay an envoy and they believe in a religion that opposes the divine rule of Genghis Khan. Document 6 is shown from the perspective of a Muslim scholar, Ibn al-Altir, who wrote of the atrocities brought about by the Mongols to the Islamic world. He wrote this before the sack of Baghdad as the Mongols had conquered the surrounding area, and most likely intended to spark a resistance to the Mongolians brutality. Ibn al-Altir writes this to say that Muslims should not be afraid to fight back against the Mongol invaders, his efforts were unsuccessful because the Abbasid Empire later fell completely to the Mongols. Although, Ibn al-Altir is certainly a biased source because of his religious affiliation, but with an outside source of the number of Muslims who were slaughtered in the sack of Baghdad it is certain the Mongols abused and terrorized the

Every society in every age long for order, beauty, and truth. The crusades were a series of several military campaigns, usually sanctioned by the Papacy. The Crusades were an age that longed truth. They were originally, the Roman Catholic endeavors to re-capture the Holy Land from the Muslims. The violent and often ruthless conflicts propelled the status of European Christians, making them major players in the fight for land in the Middle East. The movement is best remembered for the causes that the participants and routes of major crusades, last the effects of the crusades and the highlights of the major of the crusades.

According to Amin Maalouf, “It seems clear that the Arab East still sees the West as a natural enemy. Against that enemy, any hostile action-be it political, military, or based on oil-is considered no more than legitimate vengeance. And there can be no doubt that the schism between these two worlds dates from the Crusades, deeply felt by the Arabs, even today, as an act of rape” (Amin Maalouf). When reflecting on The Crusades Through Arab Eyes, this quote always sticks out as the most powerful piece of Maalouf’s work. As a growing college student this quote brings harsh reality to the world I live in. I believe as you grow through life, you become more and more aware of the world around you through education. In order to be aware you must

As we have seen over the years, many people have risen to power. While many have risen many have also fallen. So what allows some to rise and stay in power and not others? Dictators such as Saddam Hussein and Napoleon Bonaparte remained in power for many years. Comparatively Saddam Hussein ruled Iraq for 24 years, while Bonaparte, the dictator of France, held power for fourteen years. How are their methods different from each other? How could one be in power longer than the other? While analyzing both of them, I found that Saddam Hussein was more willing to use violent methods to control his people, while Napoleon Bonaparte was more civilized and believed that he didn’t need to use violence. So does violence secure one’s place in power for
