How Did The Mongols Affect Russia

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

Some people would say the Mongols were a key development to civilization. However, the progress they made is nothing compared to their cruelty and the process they used to conquer the majority of Asia and parts of the Middle East. The Mongols were originally a small, nomadic tribe that originated from the steppes of Central Asia. The tribe placed little value on objects, considering they moved around in yurts and hardly settled. Led by Genghis Khan, they conquered land worth double the size of the Roman Empire. The Mongols were greedy, bloodthirsty barbarians who had little to no regard for human life. They went to unthinkable lengths to conquer land while destroying countless ancient cities.

The Mongol Empire had many impacts on modern day Asia and other parts of the world. Genghis Khan led an empire from the steppes of Asia during the 13th century, called the Mongols. They conquered a lot of land, from to Korea to Poland, and also from Vietnam to Syria. Because they ‘terrorized’ much of Asia, they were known as barbarians. They were thought to live beyond civilization, and known as evil. 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 violence, destruction, and the falling of cities.

The impact of the Mongol conquest of both the Islamic heartlands and Russia was extensive and long lasting. After the Mongol conquests into the regional cities of Russia, they established a long run for two and a half centuries. Russians had to pay tribute and turn over all their goods to the Mongol overlords. These peasants essentially became serfs as they were giving their goods for protection in turn. On the other hand, Moscow prospered despite being destroyed during the conquests. With its rebuilding, it became the tribute center for the Mongol lords, and the center for the Orthodox Church. To

The Mongols had many positive traits to them. For example, they claimed more than 4,860,000 square miles of land. This is more than the land acquired by Alexander the Great and Cyrus the Great combined (Doc 1). Besides the size of the empire, the advancement that the Mongols

Towards the end of the post classical period, during the early twelfth century new empires rose to power. Specifically, the Mongol Empire located in the steppes of Central Asia. The Mongol Empire was started by Genghis Khan who was part of a nomadic clan. Khan used his position as leader of the clan to unite all the clans in the area to create a very powerful army, which he then used to expand further and conquer empires such as China, Russia, the Middle East, and and the city of Baghdad creating the Mongol Empire. The Mongol Empire controlled the most land of any empire. As the Mongol Empire conquered new Empires they effected them through the environment, social classes, politically economically, and their culture. Two empires that the Mongol Empire had an effect drastically on was China and Russia politically and economically. The Mongol Empire improved China and Russia economically by facilitating trade routes stabilizing China economy and helped Russia semi-stable their economy. Politically the Mongol Empire enforced a system which united the people in China and helped Russia develop a political system indirectly.

Mongolian conquests and invasions devastated affected areas and left survivors terrified. To all areas they have invaded including Tangut cities, Novgorod, and Nishapur, Mongols treated inhabitants harshly and most of the time, killed them (Doc.1, 2, 3, 6). Monks

Many historians have different views on whether the Mongols had a positive or negative affect on the world during their time period. Over the course of their rule the Mongols had a couple of powerful leaders that brought different views and ideas of what an empire should look like, and how it should be run. Genghis Khan ruled from 1206 to 1227 A.D. He brought great military strengths that helped them conquer a lot of land. After his death in 1227 A.D. many rulers had come and gone. In 1271 A.D. Genghis’ grandson took charge. He had a different approach to ruling the empire. Unlike Genghis he was not a military leader, but rather a “business man” that helped increase foreign trade. Overall the Mongolians of the Asian Steppe had a positive impact on the world during their rule of the Asian continent from 1206 to 1368 by influencing trade, inventions, and unification amongst China.

Though the Mongols were very crude and unsophisticated people at war or while they were conquering other lands, in their own towns they had their

The Byzantine Empire and the Mongol conquest of Russia influenced Russia’s political and cultural development in many ways. One way the Mongols affected Russia’s politics was the use of census taking. The 1st census taken by Mongols occurred in 1257. It was originally formed by the Chinese, but the Mongols later adopted it and used it for the entire empire. According to the School of Russian and Asian Studies, it says, “the census served as the primary purpose for conscription as well as taxation.” This practice was then carried on by Moscow in 1480. At the time, large-scale censuses were still very unknown

The Mongols soon had complete control over the city, and started taxing the people far beyond what they were ever able to pay. Soon enough, the Mongols gave up and set the city to fire, beginning the Dark Age of Russia. Nico, who played Kublai Khan was the most compelling witness on the side of the defense. He explained that the Mongols civilization was a direct reflection of Genghis, and that the modern world would not be the same today if it were not for the civilized affects he had made. Genghis Khan created a messenger system that was one of a kind, that made spreading information more convenient, as well as opening the trade routes again. Genghis may have been ruthless and unnecessary during battle, but there is no such thing as a civilized war, regardless of the leader. A great army makes a great nation, and that's exactly the case that the defense supported. The only reason I believe that Genghis Khan was civilized was because how he led and conquered was socially acceptable for the time being. His military tactics were unnecessary and excessive (such as lighting cats on fire), but any great ruler in his time had to be if they wanted to

Marco Polo was one of the most famous Europeans to travel to Asia during the Middle Ages. Marco polo born 1254 was an italian merchant adventurer, he traveled over a lot of land. When Marco traveled around Europe and Asia he made documents about the mongolian empire. The Mongol empire was one of the world’s largest land empire in world history, discovered by Genghis Khan in 1206. It covered most of the Asian and eastern Europe land. The mongols effect on china and russia was the Complete reunification of China; having conquered Xixia, the Jin, Kara-Khitai and Song Dynasty. Russia centralized the government, they were fierce, but allowed Russian people to follow their own religion. Russia was isolated from its neighbors in western Europe.

Although Russia was known for its strength and ruthlessness, the presence of the Mongols affected Russia in ways England was not. The strong, bloodthirsty barbarians easily outmatched Russia, and out of fear the monarchs were forced to pay hefty fines England could not even dream of. Even if Mongols simply costed Russia tribune, the Russians wanted them out and therefore led a rebellion to drive these barbarians out. This small difference eventually led to the biggest difference between England and Russia: after that, Russia ruled under the reign of tsars, or emperors. Therefore, the appearance of outside forces was one of many key differences between England and

The rise of the Mongol Empire can be attributed to a famous emperor, Genghis Khan. He led his armies through the Great Wall of China and crushed the Jin Dynasty. “In the twelfth and thirteenth centuries the Mongols were far from more barbarous than their neighboring tribes. For this reason Genghis Khan, as the cultivated Chinese put it, was nothing more nor less than a barbarian. However, this barbarian possessed a number of qualities that enabled him to become one of the greatest conquerors in the history of the word” (Hartog p.139). Unfortunately, he has a sudden death in 1227 while in the war against the Xia Dynasty. Before his passing Genghis ordered his second son, Ogedei Khan, as his inheritor to split his empire into four khanates between his children and grandchildren to complete his invasion. Many years pass after Genghis Khan died, and several Mongol leaders attempted to continue the mission of the Great Khan. It isn’t until his grandson Kublai Khan, succeeded in creating a more powerful domain during his establishment of the Yuan Dynasty

The Mongols of Central Asia, under the lead of Genghis Khan, encompassed China and Russia in the thirteenth century C.E. Harsh conquest with massacre and destruction of infrastructure were experienced by these regions. During Mongol rule, China was governed through the traditional dynastic system while Russia was indirectly administered from the steppes with aid from local princes. Although the pastoralists required tribute collection from both civilizations, only China enjoyed significant economic flourish brought by the restoration of long-distance trade routes.
