Compare And Contrast American And Mongolian Dynasties

During the early thirteenth century Chinggis Khan and his following successors helped forge various tribes in to a powerful alliance that built the largest empire the world has ever seen. The Mongolian empire reached great in size in such a short period of time. This was basically because of the sturdy Mongol army and many efficient policies the Khan family established. The Mongols were very knowledgeable in military tactics. There empire had a strong sense of unity, helping the empire get so great so rapidly. There allies also contributed to the Mongolian empire. By the time of Chinggis Khan's death in 1227, he had laid the foundation of a vast and mighty empire, which continued to grow with his tactics set in stone.

A) The rise of the Mongol Empire (1206–1368) was a major turning point in world history. Although the Mongol conquest of China took approximately 79 years, the world was dramatically altered after the Mongols took control of China. Before the Mongol conquest, China worked earnestly as they expanded their land however they constantly faced the problem of how to control newly-conquered lands and peoples. Due to the Chinese expansion without a set government, China was constantly in a warring state as the Chinese tried to control their newly-conquered land while keeping control in the mainland and kingdom. These struggles are the reason why China was not always completely united under the Song dynasty. The Mongol conquest of China was

Genghis Khan, created and united the Mongols, who were the world’s biggest empire to date. He conquered china and created the Yuan economic policies and accommodated traditional Chinese practices. Yuan rulers did not try to convert China into the Mongol-style nomadic economy; instead, they advanced agriculture. They restored the she, rural organizations composed of about 50 families, to assist in farming. These organizations also improved flood control, established charity organizations for orphans and widows, and introduced such new crops. In addition, early Yuan emperors sought to protect the peasants by devising a regular, fixed system of taxation. Unlike previous Chinese dynasties, the Yuan rulers cultivated trade and held merchants a high social status.

Following the collapse of the Han Dynasty in 220, China declined into an elongated term of division. China was divided and in a time of war, with a lack of leadership. It was only in the Sui Dynasty (589-618) reunited North and South China as one. The Tang (618-906) and Song (960 - 1279) Dynasties that followed created the “Golden Ages of China”. Although the Tang and Song Dynasties existed in a similar time and had a similar economy, there are also many differences between the influential dynasties such as certain aspects of their society and politics.

The Han and the Yuan Dynasties share some similarities, but also some differences. First I will be talking about the similarities that both Dynasties shared. First the Han dynasty shared some native trait while the Yuan Dynasty had foreign traits. The Han Dynasty lasted over 100 years and had numerous leaders to lead. On the other Hand the Yuan dynasty only lasted a generation and then started to wear out over the years. Han being a new culture created a new philosophy for a new dynasty starting out was big. Usually dynasties just passed down traditions and they followed it, but for the Han that wasn't the case. The yuan dynasty did follow the traditions and they picked up cultures traits from chinese tribes. They shared laws, Gods,

The Mongols were nomadic pastoralists who originated in the Eurasian steppes but eventually conquered the largest contiguous empire in history. The first ruler Genghis Khan was able to unite the loosely-bound nomadic clans in 1206 AD and begin seizing land through ingenious military tactics such as base-10 warrior organization, trickery, and terror. Later, his grandson Kublai Khan continued conquering new land and adding it to their vast yet relatively decentralized government. Although there were a few positive effects of Mongol rule, they still had an overall negative impact on Eurasia because of the large quantities of deaths they caused and their weakening of Chinese power in their own government.

The Mongols came about when Genghis Khan united all of the Mongol tribes and clans, creating an army of up to 125,000 whose main goal was to conquer. One of his more effective tactics was enemies were treated fairly unless they resisted. Ones who resisted were killed. Kublai Khan was successful in reuniting the empire prior to a power struggle but was able to conquer all of China by 1276. However, he was not successful in conquering Japan by sea because of harsh storms and shipwrecks. Other countries Mongols had taken over included, Tibet, Persia, Russia, Poland, Hungary, and eastern Germany. People taken over by the Mongols had no choice to cooperate because failure to would result in them being slaughtered. Genghis Khan granted religious

Khubilai Khan, whose grandfather was Chinggis Khan, was the most skilled of Chinggis Khan’s descendants. Khubilai Khan was a ruthless attacker, helped make the lives of his people better, and promoted Buddhism while being lenient to other religions. He was known to be very generous and built vast roads, ruling the Mongol empire during its peak. He conquered all of China and established himself emperor of the Yuan dynasty. However, his success did not continue further, as he failed to conquer Vietnam, Cambodia, Burma, Java, and Japan.

They allowed government officials to remain in place and keep their positions and made sure qualified people were involved with the government. The Mongols also wanted people from other religions to worship in their empire. After the death of Genghis Khan, in AD 1227, his grandson took over and started ruling. He created a new dynasty called the Yuan Dynasty and preferred a life with palaces

After long rivalries and civil war, Kublai Khan took power in 1271 when he established the Yuan Dynasty, but civil war ensued again as he sought unsuccessfully to regain control of the followers of Genghis Khan's other descendants. By the time of Kublai's death in 1294, the Mongol Empire had fractured into four separate empire This weakness allowed the Han Chinese Ming Dynasty to take control in 1368, while Russian princes also  developed independence over the 14th and 15th centuries,  the

During the Post-Classical Era, nomadic tribes banded together to create one of the largest land empires know to man. These nomads, or the Mongols, were able to conquer this land under the command of Genghis Khan, and eventually divided up the large empire into different sections called Khanates. Under these Khanates, China was a part of the Great Khanate, and was supervised by Kublai Khan. I argue that Mongol rule in the Yuan dynasty rejuvenated trading across the continent, Brought religious tolerance into Chinese society, and revamped Chinese politics and the role of women in China. First, Mongol rule rekindled trading activity in China.

In the 13th century C.E., a nomadic people called the Mongols built a great empire in Asia. Toward the end of the century, the Mongols took over China. Under Mongol emperors, government officials in China were foreigners. Some officials were Mongol friends and relatives of the emperor. Others were trusted people from other

These people were the first of their time to see freedom of religion, execution of livestock thieves, and the prohibition of woman trading. A writing system was adopted, a regular census ordered, and foreign ambassadors were granted diplomatic immunity. United Mongolia was a prosperous place. Chinggis Khan looked over at China one day and thought “I want this”, so he led his first campaign into Xi Xia. His army made it to the steps of the Xi Xia capital, and soon after feigned a retreat. They turned around and initiated a siege, throwing rockets, bodies, dead horses, and fire over the city walls. Soon the Xi Xia ruler surrendered and offered tribute, but Chinggis Khan let his men play keep the balloon off the floor with the ruler’s head. Next, some moron ruling the Jin Dynasty demanded that Chinggis Khan surrendered. From 1211 to 1214, though outnumbered, the Mongols terrorized the countryside of Jin, using a flood of resulting refugees to weaken cities, which sounds quite familiar. (Biography) Goodness, I wonder why that sounds so much like the European Union. In 1214, they rallied and besieged an overpopulated Zhongdu. The Jin ruler handed over various valuable goods, so Chinggis Khan decided to give him a break. This was however, the last time anyone caught a break from Chinggis Khan, as the moron decided to move his court to a

Kublai Khan reigned as Great Khan of the Mongol Empire from 1260 until his death in 1294. In 1271 he established the Yuan dynasty in China. (Bawden)

Genghis Khan, a strategic war general and merciless killer, who helped overthrow the Jin Dynasty and conquer all of China with an army encompassing only a few thousand men, led the Mongols. The expansion of the Mongol Empire grew to such an extent that it holds the record for the largest empire to ever exist. The Mongols sought colonization and supreme control over the Chinese people. Throughout this period, warriors and noblemen strived to achieve greatness through conquest and superiority over their rivals. The oppression bestowed on the Chinese began out of necessity based on the Mongolian warrior type culture. The Mongol people perceived their value based on their victorious efforts on the battlefield. The Chinese’s infrastructure crumbled and fear reeked in the hearts of the Chinese people. Genghis Khan help find the Yuan Dynasty which prospered under the rule of Kublai Khan. If the Chinese people did not relinquish their Chinese nobility and succumb to Mongol rule, they would be killed. Genghis Khan and the Mongols’ rule were ruthless and cruel and the Chinese people were forced to capitulate to their superiors. “The Yuan Dynasty was eventually destroyed by the peasants ' uprising. In 1351, the 'Hongjinjun (army with red head-scarves) Uprising ', led by a man named Liu Futong, broke out in Yingzhou (in current Anhui
