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

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.

The mongol was a tremendous impact on the Future history in the time of 1206-1368. The Mongols had a general named Genghis Khan, however they had no true ruler. But, I will argue that they had a very negative impact on our history of Asia and the world today. The Mongols lived in the steppe of the Asian Plateau which was a good place for them. They did a lot of horrid things that cause us to lose the history of the past. Although this affected our learning status now, it’s just a minor problem to all they did in the past events. Others will say that they had a positive impact on our history, but this is just a quick article on why they are wrong.

The major legacies of the Mongol rule in the Islamic world are that they supported trade, built roads, increased religious tolerance, further advanced in medicine and astronomy and built paper money. They reopened four major trade routes which were closed – Silk Road, sea route from China to Persian Gulf, Siberian Route and an alternate route from lower Volga. The four major legacies of Genghis Khan, the founder of Mongol empire were tolerance, written language, legal code and trade and crafts.

Document #6 talks about people adapting to the Mongol Empire and the benefits of the silk industry. The Mongols did a lot for china for example their silk, the people of china liked silk but the problem was that the deliverers kept getting murdered and the silk stolen so the mongols lent a hand and created the Silk Road where people could walk without any thought about thieves or murderers coming for what they have because they feared Genghis Khan. Genghis Khan killed the people that stole or murdered on the silk road and their families, in other words “if you saw something someone dropped nobody touched it said Document

The mongols were no doubt the worst. They were complete and absolute savages. They would rip kids out of pregnant women, destroy whole city states for no reason and were just extremely feared. If there was one mongol and five warriors the other warriors would be more scared and/or worried then the mongol. Islamic historian-para two line one and two, slay women that were pregnant and their unborn children.

Pax Mongolica, meaning Mongol peace, was the period of time in which the empire controlled a region spanning Russia to Korea. In doing so, the Mongols protected the silk road and boosted the economy. In Charles Halperin’s book “Russia and the Golden Horde”, he notes that the “Mongols expanded into China and Persia” and that during this time, they “built canals to improve communication”, sustained agriculture, and allowed and facilitated silk trade and Persian craft traditions for a long period. Moreover, by establishing peace, they allowed the economy to flourish, indirectly and directly altering the history of the political world. During this time, they also created communication systems called Yams.

With the invasion of the Mongols, they interrupted many great post classical civilizations but at the same time, they also renewed and extended the global network. The Mongols were the mightiest war machine around during the time period of 600-1450 C.E. and they greatly affected China and Russia both politically and economically. Politically, religions were tolerated and there was centralized power in both regions. However, the Mongols allowed Russia to govern themselves with the help of Russian princes whereas China was under direct Mongol rule. Russia and China remained similar economically because both populations were taxed by the Mongols and safe travel on the Silk Road encouraged international trade. On the other hand, due to

The mongols also divided empire into Khanates and started the rule of Yuan dynasty from 1279 to 1368. They developed “Pax Mongolia”(revitalization of Silk road) Marco Polo was an impact of the Mongols conquest. In addition to the impacts of the Mongols conquest, Cultural diffusion and adoption of various religions (Christianity, Buddhism, Islam) occurred. Not only that but there was preservation of distinction between Mongols and Chinese.

N.p., n.d. Web. 26 Owas not available within the society of the Mongols. Foreign relations influenced by trade have also helped to support many nations of today, such as the U.S. and their interdependence with China. “The rules-based international economic system has helped to propel China’s unprecedented economic growth over the past 35 years, lifting hundreds of millions of people out of poverty. The United States has also benefited from the emergence of a global middle class that, by 2030, is projected to include more than 3 billion consumers in Asia alone.”

As their armies swept into China, southwest Asia, and Islamic countries they extended networks and integration also they were able to build on the existing trade links. (pg 373) As a result of that “Islam would never have a unifying authority like the caliphate or powerful center like Baghdad”. (pg 372) And under their reign the Mongols introduced Persian, Persian, Islamic, Byzantine influences into China’s architecture, art, science, and medicine.

The Mongols were nomadic people that lived in tribes in Asia during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. The joining of numerous tribes would eventually form one of the biggest empires in history. With the lack of rain though the region, the Mongols did not have wide spread agriculture, instead they would herd sheep, cattle, goats, horses, and camels that thrived on the grasses and shrubs of the steppe lands where they lived. The Mongol tribes would travel with their herds to lands with copious amounts of grasses so their animals could graze. When their herds exhausted the vegetation, they would migrate to a new area. The tribes were self-sufficient, they not only lived off the meat, milk, and

“At a city called Shangdu, built by the Grand Khan Kublai. . . He caused a palace to be erected, of marble and other handsome stones, admirable as well for the elegance of its design as for the skill displayed in its execution. The halls and chambers all all gilt, and very handsome”. In 1260, Kublai Khan succeeded his oldest brother, Möngke Khan, who had been Khan, and ruled over China until his death in 1294.

During this modernization period to pull together a country, Khan abolished many of the harsh tribal customs against women. Khan abolished the policy of women being forced to marry the first brother of her husband if he is to become deceased. Khan also raised the age at which a woman was allowed to be married and gave women the right to divorce their husband. Women also obtained the right to inherit property during Khan’s rule.

Kublai Khan was the grandson of Genghis Khan: Kublai founded the Mongol, or Yuan, dynasty. The Yuan dynast lasted from 1279 to 1368. Kublai came into power after his brother, Mangu, died in 1259. Although Kublai’s assent to the throne meant he became the Great-Khan his other brother’s refused to recognize his position and authority over them. One of the Great-Khan’s achievements was founding his capital, Cambaluc (modern day Beijing). By the time he was 60 he had completed his conquest of China, meaning for the first time in recorded history China was completely taken over by outsiders! He then became even more ambitious, he tried multiple times to take over Japan and Java, but he failed. Under Kublai’s rule the arts, education,
