Pros And Cons Of The Mongol Empire

The Mongol Empire had many impacts on modern day Asia and other parts of the world. Genghis Khan led an empire from the steppes of Asia during the 13th century, called the Mongols. They conquered a lot of land, from to Korea to Poland, and also from Vietnam to Syria. Because they ‘terrorized’ much of Asia, they were known as barbarians. They were thought to live beyond civilization, and known as evil. The Mongolians of the Asian Steppe had a negative impact on the world during their rule of the Asian continent from 1206 to 1368 by influencing violence, destruction, and the falling of cities.

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.

Many historians have different views on whether the Mongols had a positive or negative affect on the world during their time period. Over the course of their rule the Mongols had a couple of powerful leaders that brought different views and ideas of what an empire should look like, and how it should be run. Genghis Khan ruled from 1206 to 1227 A.D. He brought great military strengths that helped them conquer a lot of land. After his death in 1227 A.D. many rulers had come and gone. In 1271 A.D. Genghis’ grandson took charge. He had a different approach to ruling the empire. Unlike Genghis he was not a military leader, but rather a “business man” that helped increase foreign trade. Overall 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, inventions, and unification amongst China.

The Mongols are the most influential civilization to ever exist in central Asia. They impacted countries all over the world in great ways.

The mongol was a tremendous impact on the Future history in the time of 1206-1368. The Mongols had a general named Genghis Khan, however they had no true ruler. But, I will argue that they had a very negative impact on our history of Asia and the world today. The Mongols lived in the steppe of the Asian Plateau which was a good place for them. They did a lot of horrid things that cause us to lose the history of the past. Although this affected our learning status now, it’s just a minor problem to all they did in the past events. Others will say that they had a positive impact on our history, but this is just a quick article on why they are wrong.

The way Mongols succeeded in ruling over vast territories interested me the most. Most of the time when you read history the “conquerors” of the land would force the native people to convert to their religion and culture. Instead they were willing to incorporate other ethnic groups into the armies and the government sometimes giving them high leadership positions. However, the people put into those positions had to prove their loyalty to the Mongol empire. Some of the people that held higher positions in the government were the Uighurs, Tibetans, Persians, Chinese, and Russians. With all of these different people working together they were able to take over many lands, very quickly. For example, Chinese helped breach the walls of Baghdad in

The Mongols were a group of people who conquered lands and impacted a large part of the world. Although the Mongols were known for their cruel tactics of conquering, they ended up benefiting as much as they killed. The Mongols had a skillful army, but they influenced greater goods as they conquered. The Mongols were a nomadic group, who relied greatly on their animals and their trade for survival. Shortage of their animals and their trade could be significantly detrimental to their survival.

The Mongols were a very barbaric nomad group. In the 13th century the Mongols created the largest connected land mass empire in the history of the world because they were barbaric when it came to their tactics, killing and conquering, and economy and law.

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.

The Mongols were one of the most successful dynasties in the world. They had a tremendous impact on the future of Asia and the World. The mongols were brilliant they struck deals with different armies and the armies they killed they used the survivors to make their army bigger. There battle technique was very unique setting armies into groups of ten. This is how they were so successful and were able to take Asia and China down. The Mongolians of the asian Steppe had a positive impact on the world during their rule of the Asian continent from 1260 to 1368 by influencing united, trade and battle tactics.

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.

The Silk Road was established during the Han dynasty in 130 b.c.e, to provide trade routes from the China to the west. The road was initially a caravan trail starting in Xi’an and followed the Great Wall of China for 4,000 miles until it reached the Mediterranean Sea. The Mediterranean would become a major factor in the decline of the Silk Road. The Route was like a quilt, it had pieces of other trails combined to create its entirety. An example of these contributing trails would be the Persian Royal Road. This Road was established in 500 b.c.e and lasted until 330 b.c.e, it contributed greatly to the wide reach of the Silk Road. The route connected many areas such as; China, India, Asia Minor, Mesopotamia, Egypt, parts of Africa, Greece, Rome, and Britain in trade. The Silk Road promoted commerce and passed knowledge and discoveries throughout a widespread area in a very effective way.

According to background essay on the Mongols “The Mongols were a small tribe during the 13th century. They were from the grasslands of Central Asia and conquered much of the known world.” They also said that “They operate from the backs of horses and sometimes use siege weapons. The essay also explained how the Mongols were one of the several nomadic peoples who competed with one another for pasture land and livestock. They also had no metal working, no written language, and no permanent homes. The Mongols also were first led by Genghis Khan and did not have a good reputation. The Mongols may have been successful but it was do to mostly negative examples and information. The Mongols were although positive in a way. For example their Yam System, to make them go faster and farther. However, this example and many other positive examples are ways for the Mongols to fight better and kill more people. The Mongols were barbaric because they were brutal and ruthless.

The term “Mongol” is often thought of as negative; most think of the cruel, violent and barbaric people of ancient china. While this is true in some aspects, the Mongol’s of ancient china were way more than just this. In Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World, we learn just how advanced and how massive the Mongol empire was. Genghis Khan and the Mongols were the dominant force that shaped Europe, Asia and consequently the modern world. They are known for not what they destroyed, but for what they built. Such a huge and successful empire sounds as if it is invincible, but this was not true; the Mongol empire was simply too big of a monster to last. What assisted the Mongols in building the

The Mongolians had such a strong and powerful empire that made a great impact throughout history.
