Moral Code And The Rise Of Civilizations

During the early thirteenth century Chinggis Khan and his following successors helped forge various tribes in to a powerful alliance that built the largest empire the world has ever seen. The Mongolian empire reached great in size in such a short period of time. This was basically because of the sturdy Mongol army and many efficient policies the Khan family established. The Mongols were very knowledgeable in military tactics. There empire had a strong sense of unity, helping the empire get so great so rapidly. There allies also contributed to the Mongolian empire. By the time of Chinggis Khan's death in 1227, he had laid the foundation of a vast and mighty empire, which continued to grow with his tactics set in stone.

When studied, early complex civilizations naturally settled in groups and developed social hierarchies. Whatever the emerging culture, there must of course be a leader. Whether it is a warrior protecting the group from warring neighbors, forcing his way to the head of the pack, or a wise and eloquent father figure, gently guiding and imparting knowledge to his subjects, in order for a society to function there must be a leader for the people to follow. Jared Diamond claimed that the emergence of social elites and eventually kings were dependent on the establishment or sedentary cultures, according to him, “only in farming populations could a healthy, non-producing elite set itself above the disease-ridden masses?”. (Diamond, 1987)

The Mongol empire is undeniably one of the largest empires in history. The immense conquer of civilizations would not occur without their great rulers. Founder Genghis Khan started the successful conquers ending with his grandson Kublai Khan. The large size of the empire ultimately led to its fall, but the rule abetted the conquered people.

Documents 1,6, and 7 indicate how the Mongols had a well organized military, which enabled the Mongols quick expansion. According to Mongol Oral Tradition, Chingis Khan used tactics toward the enemy, which often caused them to be faked out and expect they had won. Using these specifics, Khan was able to fully attack, while the enemy was under the impression they won. (Doc. 1) Juvaini, who had insight of the Mongols since he was appointed to be governor, explained how the military was “so arranged and able to conquer in an orderly fashion.” (Doc. 6) Conquering as an organized military allows them to be stable when attacking, rather than fragile causing their plan to fall apart. Marco Polo, having expertise in traveling and a qualification/ accurate description of the Mongol’s military as having “skin for armor, brave in battle” and surpass anyone in fortitude under difficulties. (Doc. 7) As the Mongols

When Mongol warriors first attacked and conquered no one had known where they had developed from. Because of this fact, the Mongols had the upper hand in attacking and conquering greater lands. Genghis Khan was one of the great rulers of the Mongols. His strategy in the army was to unite soldiers more but in a forcing manner. A soldier could be killed if they or people from their quad had run away from battle, or if some soldiers are brave and go straight

One of the greatest rulers, Genghis Khan, had a dramatic impact on history due to his brutal leadership and military tactics. He was a vicious ruler who successfully conquered and expanded his empire. “Genghis Khan was a warrior and ruler of genius who, starting from obscure and insignificant beginnings, brought all the nomadic tribes of Mongolia under the rule of himself and his family in a rigidly disciplined military state” (Bawden, 2017). Genghis Khan’s military armies swept through most of Asia’s powerful civilizations leading to the spread of Mongolian teachings. He brutally conquered areas by killing any opposing civilizations. However, he forced no religion on the conquered, which allowed the spread of new religions across the continent. With these new religions, new ways of thinking, learning, and teaching developed. Once Genghis Khan

The Mongols had rule the largest land Empire in all of history. The Mongols under the rule of Khan had conquered most of the known and unknown world at that time. Amazingly, most of the empire's success can be accredited to one man, born as Temujin who later became Khan. It wasn't until the end of Khan's life that the empire was realized and established. The Mongols were very efficient at what they did and that's what led to most of their success in their mission to rule the world. There are some positive views on how they organized, ran and expanded their empire and here are some few positives views that many people overlook when they think of the Mongols.

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.

He warned them that "if you can't swallow your pride, you can't

The Mongols, led by Ghenghi Khan (1162-1227), formed one of the most imposing armies ever known.

With their superior military warfare, complete discipline, unwavering loyalty, deadly mobility, and advanced weaponry, the Mongols carved out the biggest empire known to history. In

Although the Mongols were brutes they were brilliantly intelligent. When people think of the Mongols they think of them in a cynical way however sources show that they weren’t simply brutes. They were politically strategic through the strength and effectiveness of their military, incredibly tolerant, and quite simply more effectively cruel than other civilizations. The Mongols were so much more than cruel barbarians. The Mongols were able to expand not because they had an exceptional government but because they had an exceptional military.
