Impact Of Mongol Conquests

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.

The Pax Mongolica is an important reason why the Mongolian empire had a positive impact on Eurasia because both the Mongols and other regions were able to gain needed resources and survive longer. These routes not only posed as routes for trade, but also acted as a way for communication throughout the empire, as depicted on document 1. The rise of the Pax Mongolica helped enforce safer and better trade. It gave Eurasia a well needed time of peace and prosperity since the Mongols hadn’t halted their invasions. During this time merchants were able to travel from one end of the empire to another with a lower risk of being attacked. This blossomed trade since goods were successfully transported throughout Eurasia for a duration that would keep cities surviving. The collapse of the Pax Mongolica was also a positive for Eurasia because the decline in trade and the collapse of the Mongolian empire led to an “Age of Exploration” -Document 7. This Age of Exploration began with Christopher Columbus, and westerners searching for new routes to China and India. Document 7 states; “Thus, the Mongols indirectly led to European exploration and the intrusion of Europeans into Asia. These are both positive effects the Mongols had on Eurasia because without the rise and the fall of the Pax Mongolica more regions around the world, including Eurasia would be left

As mentioned before, the Mongols caused a lot of damage and destruction. The Mongols spread rapidly and conquered many areas. They would fight relentlessly and claim lands and make that area theirs. They were basically terrorist, and in many places like Nishapur (In Persia), they have conquered, destroyed, killed and claimed that land. “They then drove all the survivors, men and women, out onto the plain; and ... it was commanded that the town should be laid waste in such a manner that the site could be ploughed upon; and that ... not even cats and dogs should be left alive....” (Document 4). Not only Nishapur but many as well as places like Riazan or Kozelsk which has been completely wiped out and not a lot or none survived it.

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

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.

Unsurprisingly, Genghis Khan’s empire would conquer land by one of many treacherous methods: destroying anything in their path. According to Document A, over 4,860,000

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.

He completely changed the way in which the Mongols traditionally fought. Mongols traditionally fought in tribal units, but Genghis created a non-clan, highly mobile army with very talented horsemen. He caused the empire to rapidly expand; this was first shown by the Mongol conquest of China. The Mongols first conquered the Tangut kingdom of Xi Xia, and then the Jin Dynasty in a war that lasted until 1234 CE. He left China, and while he was away, the Xi Xia and Jin Dynasty united against his army.

There have been many civilizations that have existed throughout the history of the world. In early history, many of these civilizations were nomadic tribes and clans. Although these groups of people tended to be small, they often had a great impact on the civilized world around them. The Turkic nomads from Central Asia are no different; their impact on Eurasia and its culture had lasting impressions. The life of a nomadic group of people was much different from settled civilizations.

The Mongols invaded and impacted four major world powers, the first being the Islamic world. The murder of the Abbasid caliph, one of some 800, 000 people who were reported to have been killed in Mongol retribution for the city's resistance, brought an end to the dynasty that had ruled the core regions of the Islamic world since the middle of the 8th century . Perhaps the greatest long-term impact of the Mongol drive to the west was indirect and unintended. In recent years a growing number of historians have become convinced that the Mongol conquests played a key role in

One way they had a positive impact is that they brought trading after it started to die off. They also made the Pax Mongolia and spread religion.

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.

During the Mongolian era and throughout history many civilizations have fallen and risen. The defeat of Eurasia led to 250 years of lasting impact throughout nations, which caused the Mongol empire to have both positive and negative causes and effects. The Mongol empire caused psychological warfare causing fear to people to nations causing them to surrender to the Mongols; The Mongol also caused the spread of epidemics and led the isolation of Russia.

With no concern, Genghis Khan won the war. [The History of the World-Conqueror, Ata-Malik Juvaini] From 1219 to 1225 , Genghis Khan , the leader of the Mongol Empire, led his army to start the first west conquest. This west conquest have a very impotant influence in the world history . After Genghis Khan unified the Mongolia, he did much more things for his tribe.
