Negative Effects Of The Mongol Empire

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.

In the 13 century, the Middle East was controlled mainly by non-Arab dynasty. In fact, the Mongol horde vanished the Abbasid in the battle of Bagdad as mentioned by John green in his video “Wait For it…The Mongols!” .The Mongol empire will become the bigger unified territorially empire of all history (British empire was an Maritime empire, Thalassocracy ).The Ayoubide (Kurdish dynasty) overthrow the Fatimid’s and took Egypt. In North Africa, Berber dynasty rise, such as the Almohades. In Anatolia, Turkish clan had established independent state. They migrated because of the call of Muslim sultan to fight the Mongol (BBC) .The Ottoman was one of this clan and it will become the strongest Empire that humanity known. Both Mongols and Ottomans had a huge impact in Arabic speaking lands politically, economically, religiously and socially.

Genghis Khan was so ruthless that he would sometimes kill all adult males to remove potential rivals and breakdown old loyalties to other clans or tribes. When conquering China, the Mongols burned cites to the ground and killed all of their inhabitants. The ruthless nature of Genghis Khan was well known throughout Asia and Europe; therefore, many so greatly feared the Mongols that they surrendered without a single battle (Exploring the Middle Ages 305-306). The Mongols were known to attack one day, and have the entire city slaughtered the next. When the Mongols fought against the Khwarezm Empire, and they didn’t keep their word, Genghis Khan slaughtered city after city of theirs’.

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

Throughout the 13th century world, the Mongols constantly showed displays of continuous violence, drinking, brutality and unfair treatment. They were considered to be savages, and people who lived far beyond what we would know as a “civilized world.” They single handedly became one of, if not the most powerful empires to have existed, building their empire through violent and barbaric manors. The Mongols were very barbaric people, for they portrayed many inhumane and mannerless actions while their empire lasted, causing death destruction and the downfall of all of the land they took over.

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.

It would be preposterous to say that the Mongolian Empire was irrelevant in history. The Mongols, led by Genghis Khan, had put a massive imprint on the way the world is today. However, the rule of the power had created more chaos than harmony. The Mongolians of the Asian Steppe had a negative impact on the world during their rule of the Asian continent from 1260 to 1368 by slaughtering millions of lives, destroying complete cultures in their way for land and spreading a deadly disease to the world.

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

What did the Mongols do to become such a large empire? A few things are to be considered when thinking about the expansion of the Mongol empire. Their unique war tactics and diplomatic approaches are a few things that the Mongols used fastidiously. However, after Khubilai Khan launched the first invasion of Japan, the Mongols realized that some of their methods had to be changed if they wanted to conquer Japan. Many sources group the Mongol invasions of Japan together, and leave no discernment between the two invasions in 1274 and 1281. However, the first and second Mongol invasions of Japan differed in many ways.

Many people today look back on the Mongols as evil and savage due to their methods of gaining power. The Mongols are identified as barbaric and an irrational society. They ignore, however, how civilized the Mongols really were in that time. Therefore, while some view the Mongols as barbaric and brutal, the Mongols were a civilized group due to their military organization, their achievements, and their structured society.

The Mongol Empire existed during the 13th and 14th centuries and was the largest contiguous land empire in history. Starting out in the steppes of Central Asia, the Mongol Empire eventually grew from Central Europe to the Sea of Japan, extending northwards into Siberia, eastwards and southwards into the Indian subcontinent, Indochina, and the Iranian plateau, and westwards as far as the Levant and Arabia. Genghis Khan, who was the ruler of all Mongols in 1206. The empire grew rapidly under his rule and then under his descendants, who sent invasions in every direction. The vast transcontinental empire connected the east with the west with an enforced Pax Mongolica, or Mongol Peace, allowing trade, technologies, commodities, and ideologies to

The Mongol Empire one of the largest contiguous empire in history. Covering much of present Central Asia, the Mongol people prided in destroying neighboring empires and conquering as much land as possible. When Genghis Khan died, the whole Mongol Empire changed forever.

While you may first think that an institution like religion would have struggled under the Mongols, in fact, the Russian Orthodox Church took advantage of Mongol practices in order to become even stronger than before. !!! Taking Advantage of Mongol Practices Unlike most other institutions of lands conquered by the Mongols, religious orders tended to fare pretty well under the invaders. The Mongols never really had an interest in spreading a religious belief to anyone they conquered, and often saw missionary activity of their own as wildly inefficient. After all, violence, or the threat thereof, was often more than enough to get the Mongols anything that they wanted.

Communication is vital when you are control of a large area. The Mongols didn’t have modern technology to keep up on things going on in different parts of the Mongol Empire, so they had to come up with alternative ways to keep in constant contact.

The Expansion of an Empire does not appear to be the place in which you generate trade or Cross-cultural relations. Instead, a bloody and merciless conquest against the perceived enemies of the state in order to grab land seems a more fitting image. Although this did play its part in the Mongols expansion, it was a means to an end. The ideal of Supporting trade and Cross-cultural relations is clearly evident within the Mongol Empires conquests. One of the Key actions enacted is Discussed in secondary source (source 9, Pg. 384) The Downgrading and Transfer of a large portion of the established Eurasian hierarchy was the result of the destructive Conquests enact by the Mongols. By removing these Eurasian Elites, the Mongol empire had in effect
