I Am A Mongol Soldier Under Genghis Khan

An additional document that would have been helpful is one with records from a Mongolian historian about Genghis Khan’s conquests because it would be valid due to the author being a historian in the correct time period with an inside scoop.

During the 13th-14th century the Mongols conquered a vast amount of land through their advanced military strategies and ruthless spirit in battle, causing their empire to immensely expand. Two regions in which the Mongols conquered were China and Russia, while both territories were under Mongol control the regions were ruled differently. Thus, the influence of the political impact Mongol rule had on the Chinese was intensely more significant in contrast to the effect on the Russians, while on the contrary there economical effects for quite similar.

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.

The Mongolian stirrup and composite bow aided the Central Asian steppe nomads to create the world’s largest land based empire at the time, which resulted from and in many cross-cultural interactions. When Genghis Khan first started in the creation of his empire, he used his stirrup-mounted archers in units of 10 squadrons and 1000 men to invade China, where he first learned of Chinese war technologies like catapults, gunpowder, and the use of Chinese silk as protective clothing. He then combined all the technologies he obtained with the use of the composite bow and stirrup. These Mongol technologies helped horsemen to fire highly accurate shots due to the stability the stirrup provided (Doc. 1). Genghis Khan also used brilliant tactics that allowed him to conquer large areas quickly. After his rule, the Mongols continued using his tactics. For example, they flung infected corpses into cities such as the Byzantine city of Kaffa. Using the technologies of the stirrup and the composite bow allowed Genghis Khan and his successors to conquer and create an immense empire. This empire eventually covered areas from China to Russia. While destruction, terror, and intimidation were used to conquer people, Genghis Khan also

“I will rule them by fixed laws so that rest and happiness shall prevail in the world,” Genghis Khan. In the 1200s, the Mongol Empire rose and conquered most of China. The Mongol Empire was one of history’s most brutal forces because their dominance was led by a hostile leader, driven by ruthless aggression, and strengthened by an understanding of a correct civilization. The Mongol Empire was feared by many because of its ruthless leaders. The empire was divided into groups led by different khans, but the empire soon turned and was united by a strong leader, Temijin.

His clans were so powerful and knew just what to do to conquer. Genghis Khan started strong in North China and Ancient Persia. “Slaughter was so great that the streets of the Chinese capital were greasy with human fat and flesh”.

During the 13th and 14th century, a nomadic group known as the Mongols succeeded in vanquishing land from Vietnam to Syria and Korea to Poland. The rise of Genghis Khan brought on the conquest of Northern China and Ancient Persia. His son, Ogedei, superseded Genghis after his death. Ogedei was able to gain power of Russia and Eastern Europe after ten years of fighting. After the death of Ogedei in 1242, Genghis’ grandson, Mongke reigned. The large military conquered the Middle East, expanding the Mongol empire yet again. It comes as a surprise that the Mongol’s maintained such a large empire for around 162 years. The Mongol’s were able to gain and perpetuate power owing to their reputation of terrorization, commerce and ruthless military strategy.

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

What if Genghis Khan did not create a strict law? If Genghis Khan did not create a law code so strict the peasants would not have eventually reformed or fought against him in favor of The New Economic Policy Lenin put forward. Communism would not have become the successful form of government Asia is under today,

The consistent motion of shares gradually transported the Mongol war into commercial arteries (222). The migration of goods gradually increased, and because of this the Mongol authorities looked for easier and faster routes so the shipment of goods can be smoother. The Mongol authorities expanded the Mongolian postal system, and by expanding the system memos, people, and appurtenances could be sent by horses and camels, from country to country. The expedition of Khubilai Khan in 1281 led to a route to develop that connected China and the Tibet and Himalayan area in the postal system. The expedition also led scholars to make a map of the Yellow river (222).

In their role of empirical dominance throughout 13th century Eurasia, the Mongol’s were nomadic tribes of herders and raiders north of China, under the leadership of Genghis Khan. Born under the name Temujin, Genghis traits of charisma and reputation as a tactician won over his people’s support. Thus through the act of uniting groups of the steppe (region), he was crowned Khan of Khan in 1206. As quoted from Hugh Kennedy’s book Mongols, Huns and Viking's nomads at war” “the Mongols were triumphant in every major engagement fought up to ‘Ayan Jalut in 1260’ “. A crucial factor unique to this success was the nature of Mongol soldiers in which their life-styles demanded skills such as archery and horseback riding, which was also essential in

During the Post-Classical Era, nomadic tribes banded together to create one of the largest land empires know to man. These nomads, or the Mongols, were able to conquer this land under the command of Genghis Khan, and eventually divided up the large empire into different sections called Khanates. Under these Khanates, China was a part of the Great Khanate, and was supervised by Kublai Khan. I argue that Mongol rule in the Yuan dynasty rejuvenated trading across the continent, Brought religious tolerance into Chinese society, and revamped Chinese politics and the role of women in China. First, Mongol rule rekindled trading activity in China.

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)

Temüjin, better known as Chinggis Khan, was a Mongolian born in 1160’s, who later became the leader of the one of the most successful armies in the history of a mankind. Mongols under his leadership Mongols first conquered China relatively easily and then moved towards west, partly simultaneously. This essay examines the reasons for his success in conquering Iran and especially the reasons why the Muslims of Iran were not able to resist his army’s invasion. First this essay discusses Chinggis Khan’s army’s strength and superiority in general level, then shifting focus to the particular case of Iran. It becomes evident that Chinggis Khan was an extraordinary military leader and that besides that the army was extremely successful due to its

The start of the Mongol Empire began as a system of nomadic pastoralists who were extremely well experienced horsemen and traveled with their flocks of sheep, goats, cattle, and horses over the vast steppes of the prairielands of Central Asia. At the start of the Mongols rise to supremacy was the formation of tribal coalition known as “All the Mongols” (Saunders 1971) While the early tribal coalition was successful at establishing itself as a power in Manchuria and North China, it wasn’t until the rise of a well-known figure did the Mongols ascend to a force to fear and respect.
