Emily Pawlak AP World Casto Period 7 Chapter 14 Questions 1. What was the impact of the mongol

One of the reasons the Mongol nomads had a prominent and menacing effect on Afro Eurasia was their state building strategies. After conquering cities, they appointed the agents in each of the cities to govern the city, as seen in Document 6. The ruler, Chinggis Khan, had respect for loyalty; he usually made deals with the conquered cities, which benefited both sides. There are also many places of worships, as mentioned in Document 7. There were multiple churches, and mosques. It is true that the Mongol nomads were highly cosmopolitan which helped with state building and that as a result, effected Afro Eurasia by introducing more people. Document 3 contains valuable sources of information about Russia during the Mongol era. It described the Mongols as destructive invaders from the East and lashes out particularly at the Tartars for damaging cities and sacred places. During the fourteenth century, Russian preoccupation

Positively, the Mongols were great conquerors and they respected each other, negatively, they brutally harmed people and valuables in the process. Charles J. Halperin wonderfully stated, “The Mongol Empire made significant contributions to the political institutions, economic development, and cultural diversity of many lands. No history of the Mongol Empire dwells only on Mongol destruction, can be satisfactory” (Doc 6). The history of the Mongols can’t only be about the negativity that they caused to society as the Mongols had a more positive impact rather than a negative impact. The Mongols created a vast empire throughout Eurasia, but it wasn’t worth killing over 5 million people in the process. In the end, as a result of the vast empire, they weren’t able to control it. Eventually, the Mongol empire and became a part of the society in the area and vanished

So it is clear that the Mongols had different affects on people during their expansion westward. As the Mongols expanded throughout the territories, many people viewed this as a negative impact. On the other hand, the Mongols let the people they conquered

The Mongol Empire was the largest continuous land empire in history, taking control of many Afro-Eurasian societies in the thirteenth and fourteenth century. Not only were the Mongols militarily powerful, they were also administratively powerful. The Mongols had a major impact on societies of Afro-Eurasia during this time period because their conquests ruined cities, their cultural diverse population adopted controlling positions, and their administrative efficiency promoted economy.

The Mongol empire was the largest empire in the history stretching a distance of thirty-three million kilometers and a population of over one hundred million people. Having been founded by Genghis Khan in as early as 1206, the empire was made up of Asian and Europe territories. The expansion of the Mongol empire continued until his untimely death in 1227, but his children took over, expanding the territories deeper across Europe, China and Asia. In the year 1236, Great Khan’s son Ogodei decided to conquer more of the Europe territories making the Mongol empire one of the most influential empires not only in Europe but also in the entire world. Ogodei’s death in 1241 distracted Mongols mission of conquering Poland and Germany. Most of the churches did not welcome the Mongol leadership. The Orthodox church was negatively affected by the Mongols invasions. The clergies who opposed were killed and others arrested.

The Mongols are a group of men and some women who took over China, and united the largest empire in the world history. They did this in many ways, some positive and some negative, using smart tactics to make their way to ruling the empire. Nevertheless, the Mongols had a more positive impact than negative by influencing transportation and communication, economic diversity, and politics in the world around them for many years.

They started a lot of things that governments do today. Like the fact that they were religiously tolerant. Like in document 4, it states, “An important legacy of the Mongols’ reign in China was their support of many religions. This evidence shows that they were religiously tolerant. This would mean a lot less conflicts and people would want to settle in this land.

Despite committing some of the greatest atrocities in recorded history, the legacy of the Mongol Empire is also defined by their ingenious military campaign, their establishment of Pax Mongolica, and their contribution to immense cross-cultural interaction on the Eurasian continent. The word Mongol strikes a

Sometimes ruling a new city was for the best. The Mongols helped cities in many ways; they made many contributions to the economics, political system, and made their culture more diverse when they took over. (Doc. 6) They also made new helpful laws as they went along; such as no adultery, theft, and the roles of the house. (Doc. 7,10)

The Mongol Empire, an infamous empire in founded in the beginning of the thirteenth century and fell in the mid to late fourteenth century, had an unavoidable influence on Eurasia including both positive effects, such as advancing trade and production of goods in less advanced societies (doc 5) as well as laying a powerful and protective influence on a number of societies (doc 2), and negative effects, being savagely murderous towards those societies in their path (doc 1), destroying important structures and cities of other societies (doc 7), and aggressively demanding a tribute be paid to them from Christian societies and others (doc 9), as well as effects that are considered neither negative nor positive effects, examples being that the

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

During the years 1237 to 1240, the nomadic warlord group known as the Mongols invaded and assimilated the principalities of Rus into their vast empire, known as the Golden Horde. The campaign, lead by Batu Khan, grandson of Genghis Khan, demolished the capital of Kiev, leaving room for the warring principalities to compete for power. Over the next few centuries, Moscow, which until then was considered, “A stepping stone to a better position” (Riasanovsky 97), would rise and become the sole sovereign principality of Rus. In the 14th and 15th centuries, Moscow would rise to create a lasting dynasty by using the Mongol rule to defeat their Russian neighbors, establishing de facto primogeniture, and using the fall of competing empires.

The Mongols were excellent in learning from obstacles, doing without, and making the best out of what was given with them. Their ingenious thought process led to them being one of the most successful empires of all time. Unlike no other empire of their time, their war-like way of life is what brought them to the top and is what they’ve left in history. The Mongolian empire was successful due to their vast understanding of characteristics needed in an empire, dealing with environmental setbacks, and makeshift

After reading the lesson, I agree that Mongol rule was good for China because China became powerful and well known. One reason is that Mongol was powerful and their military was the best, for example they had many colony and land. The reading also points out that Mongol developed China’s art, this is important because art was important in medieval China. For these reasons, I maintain my position that China developed under the influence of

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.
