The Mongolian Empire began in the central area of Asia around the 13th century. This empire grew and clans expanded to numerous regions across the Asian, European and African continents. This empire was able to gain these regions by means of conquest which quickly resulted in gains of power and influences across the world. Below I will further discuss how the Mongol conquest had global implications.

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.

Many historians have been interested in the ancient Mongols and the impact they have had on our life today. One of the big questions they have been exploring is if the Mongols had a positive or negative impact on the world during their rule in Asia. 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 the overrule of Asia, strict rules, and harshness.

The Mongols accomplished the conquest of such a large territory within such a short period of time by having amazing methods of war, how quickly they conquered other empires, and their advanced technology. How they quickly conquered other empires, large and small, is shown in documents 1 and 2 as they were written about which tribes/empires they conquered and document 7 speaks of what made Genghis Khan and his army mad. Their efficient methods of warfare were shown in document 4, which is about how the army was arranged, and documents 8 and 9 in which they are letters from the Pope Innocent IV about how Genghis Khan destroyed empires and people and a reply about why he did this. Documents 3 and 5 are written from outsiders’ perspectives

The Mongols and Aztecs lived on completely different sides of the world. Although they had extreme differentials on Longitude and Latitude, the similarities between the two societies are compelling. The Mongols and the Aztecs were similar politically and socially. Politically, their Militaries were large and powerful; socially, women also had more rights and power. However, they were not the same in every category. Religiously, they were very different. Along with that, the foundation of their societies are very different as well, one being nomadic and one being agricultural based society.

Powerful both militarily and culturally, the Mongols were a fearless and influential group who dominated Asia and Eastern Europe during the thirteenth century. Their success in acquiring land was no doubt the result of their domination on the battlefield. The Mongols often fought on horseback and surrounded their enemies, an incredibly efficient battle tactic. In his text, Genghis Khan: The History of the World Conqueror, Ata-Malik Juvaini states that the Mongols invaded the land and destroyed villages and that they would not let a single living creature live, even if it were the purest of cat or dog (Doc 4). Their battle techniques, as well as their severe punishments, and ability to conquer vast amounts of land gave the

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

The Middle ages was the time of revolutionizing, war, and the mongols peak. . Although the Mongols were considered barbarians, people who l the reach of civilization Referring to being evil. they were very civil. They had a skilled army, were adaptable, and had a set of laws.

The Mongols and Aztec empires rose in the post- classical period, between 600 and 1450 CE. While each empire was distinct, they had economic, political, and social similarities. For example, the Mongols and Aztecs both had a militaristic society, courage in battle meant a higher status. One difference in these empires is that, while the Aztecs had a rigid social hierarchy, the Mongols had a more fluid one. The economy of the Mongols and Aztecs were also distinct from each other, with differing trade and production.

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.

One major effect of Mongol expansion on Eurasia was the Mongols’ Facilitation of Trade. This effect is similar to how the Mongols collected tribute from foreign travelers with the introduction of Kublai Khans decree that was issued in 1278. The Mongol Empire always favored trade and this was a very fortunate thing for the worlds nations, especially for the West. When the Mongols began to conquer land and rise to power, they opened themselves up to trade and reopened the Great Silk Road Trade Network. This was possible because the Mongols and the “Golden Horde” cleared out bandits during their conquests that had made merchants and travelers afraid to go on with their business. The Mongols also created rest stops and had fortified outposts along the GSR and helped caravans across the network. Because of this, trade contacts increased exponentially starting around 1250. This also had to do with ‘Pax Mongolica’ which was the peace that the Mongols had created around Eurasia since they began to unify it. The Mongols facilitation of trade and their openings of trade all around Eurasia is what shifted trade to the west and began the diffusion of different technologies. According to the information from Marco Polo in Document 1, the Mongols were smart and wealthy people who lived by their skills and trade. Marco Polo goes on to explain how even the merchants had the spirits of soldiers and the people in general had what it took to conquer the whole world.

Doc 6 it implied that the mongol connected all these land through trade and implemented a few improvements like canals in china to improve transportation and

The mongols in the 13 hundred concerned much of the world on horseback. The mongols are also very barbaric in such a way many other tribes had dreamed to do what the mongols did. The mongols are smart in battle tactics but they don't have much. The mongongo head a leader named temujin as a child timagin had only one friend jamaica and they became sworn druthers. they lived in straw huts called tents. temujin became genghis cong the leader of the mongols tribe. genghis cong had a dead that was killed by a tribe of indians.

Jack Weatherford’s Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World provides a refreshing and insightful perspective on the Mongol Empire and their impact on history. Weatherford ardently dispels stereotypes often associated with Genghis Khan and the Mongols while highlighting their significant achievements that immensely induced them and the modern world. As Weatherford explained the history of Temujin, I found myself admiring how he overcame various hardships and created a destiny for himself. He not only created an empire, “he built a new and unique system based on individual merit, loyalty, and achievement.” (Weatherford xix)

According to background essay on the Mongols “The Mongols were a small tribe during the 13th century. They were from the grasslands of Central Asia and conquered much of the known world.” They also said that “They operate from the backs of horses and sometimes use siege weapons. The essay also explained how the Mongols were one of the several nomadic peoples who competed with one another for pasture land and livestock. They also had no metal working, no written language, and no permanent homes. The Mongols also were first led by Genghis Khan and did not have a good reputation. The Mongols may have been successful but it was do to mostly negative examples and information. The Mongols were although positive in a way. For example their Yam System, to make them go faster and farther. However, this example and many other positive examples are ways for the Mongols to fight better and kill more people. The Mongols were barbaric because they were brutal and ruthless.
