There are many similarities and differences in the prosperous Mongol and Mali Empires. One similarity is that both the Mongol and Mali Empire lived in nearly uninhabitable places. The Mongols in the steppe and Mali in the desert. The steppe biome has unfertile soil and the desert is very dry with poor soil for farming. Another similarity would be that both empires had very powerful leaders that helped build a better empire. Powerful Mongol leaders were Genghis Khan and Kublai Khan. A powerful Mali leader was Mansa Musa. It is said that he made it “rain” gold on a pilgrimage to Mecca. A third similarity is that both empires were extremely tolerant of other religions. Although Mansa Musa, the Mali emperor, adopted Islam as his main religion, he didn’t force his people and subjects to follow the same one. He let them worship other religions. In the Mughal Empire, which is based of the Mongol empire, Akbar the Great promoted religious tolerance. He was Muslim, but he sought wisdom from the holy men of all faiths. There are some differences as well. A difference would be that different weapons were used in battle in the Mali and Mongol Empires. Mali focused more on arrows and javelins while the Mongols didn’t.

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 were history’s strongest and biggest empire that ever lived. The most powerful emperor was Genghis Khan who conquered over 4 million square miles of land.
