Mongol Influence On Russia

The Mongolian Empire began in the central area of Asia around the 13th century. This empire grew and clans expanded to numerous regions across the Asian, European and African continents. This empire was able to gain these regions by means of conquest which quickly resulted in gains of power and influences across the world. Below I will further discuss how the Mongol conquest had global implications.

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.

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 empire was one the greatest empires of all time expanding all over Central Asia. Bordering Chinese states, the Khwarazmian empire, present day Afghanistan, Siberia, Iran, and many more, at its height the mongol empire was over 20,000,000 square kilometers. This was all possible due to extraordinary men in Central Asia, ruled by Genghis khan emperor of the Mongol empire. These Asian nomads along with their fearless and intelligent leader, flourished against numerous odds impacting all those whom they waged war against. A recipient of this ‘impact’ in particular was Russia. It was around 1219 when the Mongols first entered the Kievan Russia marking the beginning of the interactions of the two. With the Mongols rise in establishing one of the largest contiguous empire in history and having Russia only distances away the collision of the two were inevitable. As history shows this collision did happen in the year 1236 which marked the beginning of great impact that the Mongols would have on the Russian empire culturally, politically, and economically.

thanks to the Mongol conquest. In addition, the Mongols didn’t just ignore or put aside

Could you ever imagine living in China? You would probably walk out the door, look to your right and then you would see many people fighting with other people. Thanks to Genghis Khan and his crew (the Mongols), they helped unite all of China, with a lot of peace. According to the textbook it quotes that “Kublai Khan united China for the first time in more than three-hundred years.” Or by inferring the Pax Mongolica to all of China and other continents. As a result the Mongolian of the Asian Steppe had a positive impact on the world during their rule of the Asian continent. Around the years of 1260 and 1368, by influencing the Largest empire ever, Unity (Pax Mongolica) and the Silk Road.

The Mongol rule affected many from the Islamic world to Russia to China to Europe. With the Islamic world Islam was a conversation of Persians to Muslims which had a less impact on the government. For Russia, they got conquered but it didn’t gain occupancy. The princes would receive appointments from the Kahn and the results left the Mongols left out or uninvolved in the Russian life. The third one being china. The Mongols untied china and even adopted the Chinese systems and ideas. The last one being Europe, the Mongols had a big network of exchange. Which leads to the next question why did the Mongols only last for a relative short time. The Mongols had integration through networks of exchange and cultural information. although among the Mongols there was factionalism, plague, and peasant revolts to get out of china.

The Mongols are a group of people that live north of present day China, in the Asian Steppe. Although Mongolia is a pretty irrelevant nation now, Mongolia has had a huge impact on the world over the course of history. The Mongols once controlled the largest connected empire in history. The Mongols were able to craft their empire in a small amount of time, for it seemed that the Mongols’ only purpose was to destroy and conquer. The Mongols were cruel in their battles, for they killed millions and destroyed cities and civilizations in their conquests. Although, I believe 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, ideas, and unification.

Believe it or not, the Mongols helped Moscow to not only become the most powerful city in Russia, but also to eventually unite the Russians against their foreign occupiers! This lesson explains how.

Also, they were remarkably quick at learning how to administer their vast empire. They readily adopted the system of administration of the conquered states, placing a handful of Mongols in the top positions but allowing former local officials to run everyday affairs. Kublai permitted the existence of various religions. As they had a vast empire the Khan's focused on travel safety was important and it was guarantee empire and a great trading network was form stretching from China to Europe. For the first time in centuries, the Silk Road was reopened, allowing a great deal of cultural diffusion between the East and the West. The Mongols are more notably known for their ruthlessness in battle and to those who opposed them. If a town or city would fight back or resist his armies would lay siege to it. He would starve them out, then go in and kill everybody, and everything, except those that would be useful to him, estimated 30 million people were killed under the rule of the Mongol empire. Even how they handled marital affairs would be

From living on horseback as steppe nomads centuries before 1200, to controlling the largest unified empire in history by 1260 , the Mongols advanced tremendously throughout their journey to power. In around 1200, Genghis Khan united the Mongols creating the groundwork for their kingdom that followed. Due to the harshness and expert organization of the Great Khans, the Mongol army conquered many other civilizations and the land they owned skyrocketed. Although they were known for their brutality in war, the Mongol Empire thrived in tolerance and peace. The diverse kingdom’s economy was enriched due to trade and the conquering spirit apparent throughout the empire. The Mongols’ governing strategies created a successful empire because their religious tolerance allowed for peace in the empire, foreigners and Khans effectively administered the kingdom, and the strategic leaders conquered an unbelievable amount of land.

Although the Mongols were simply trying to expand their empire, the amount of brutality after practicing their forceful tactics suggests that they were unaffected by the violence as long as conquests were successful. As the Mongols pushed into Russia and China, they killed people of all ages and gender. This resulted in invasions that were over quickly and did not draw out over long periods of time. Their military was trained so strictly that they could execute well thought out plans of attack.

In spite of their nomadic culture, the Mongols gained mass amounts of land because of their strong and powerful leader Genghis Khan. As a result of this, China became ruled by the Mongols, disparate Russia who- due to geological discrepancies- was ruled by multiple princes. Russia was not under direct rule of the Mongolians, but

The Mongols were responsible for the establishment of the largest land empire in history, stretching across Central Asia while moving into Eastern Europe as well as the Middle East. The Mongol Empire began its formal foundation in 1206 under the rule of Genghis Khan and eventually ending with its eventual disintegration into multiple weaker states. Mongol influence in China during the Yuan dynasty is particularly unique, due to the fact that it was the first time non-Chinese reigned and held power. The early years of the Yuan Dynasty, led by Kublai Khan, were a time of significant expansion and change for the Chinese, as well as Mongols, in terms of governmental institutions and international economics. Primary source documents referred to

First, there was the Pax Mongolica which was a period of people among all the people who were under the rule of Mongol. During this peace treaty period, the skill road trading routes between China and Europe were reopened promoting cultural exchange. The expansion of the Mongol emperor contributed immensely in the unification of Russia. Initially, Russians were subdivided into various self-governing city-states. In order to break from the Mongol reign, the Russians joined hands and started working in unison. It was the Mongols who introduced the deadly Chinese inventions to Europe; gunpowder and guns. The invention of the fighting weapons revolutionized the fighting tactics in the European
