Role Of Peace In Mongolia

One of the reasons the Mongol nomads had a prominent and menacing effect on Afro Eurasia was their state building strategies. After conquering cities, they appointed the agents in each of the cities to govern the city, as seen in Document 6. The ruler, Chinggis Khan, had respect for loyalty; he usually made deals with the conquered cities, which benefited both sides. There are also many places of worships, as mentioned in Document 7. There were multiple churches, and mosques. It is true that the Mongol nomads were highly cosmopolitan which helped with state building and that as a result, effected Afro Eurasia by introducing more people. Document 3 contains valuable sources of information about Russia during the Mongol era. It described the Mongols as destructive invaders from the East and lashes out particularly at the Tartars for damaging cities and sacred places. During the fourteenth century, Russian preoccupation

Pax Mongolica, the Mongol peace being one of their great contributions to the society of the time (McDougal Littel). This peace is the very thing that allowed for most, if not, all of the rest of their contributions. For instance, as the historian Paul Ratchnevsky stated, “War, strife, and bodily harm or murder do not exist, robbers and thieves on a grand scale are not to be found among them [Mongols]” (Doc 7). It is a great accomplishment for any empire, but for an empire that started of drenched in the blood of the natives to have no murder or harm, it is almost beyond imagination. Furthermore, this is an empire that stretched millions of miles, and there was barely any theft. That is probably something that no nation today could claim. Another important thing that the Mongols achieved was quite poetically stated by William of Rubruck when he said, “But just as God gave different fingers to the hand so has He given different ways to men” (Doc 9). The meaning of this somewhat confusing quote is that God has given different religions to men, just as He has given different fingers to a hand, and they should all be respected. Religious tolerance was almost unheard of at this time,

Had they not experienced this kind of exposure, they would be unfamiliar with Polo’s culture, and would not assimilate him into their culture the way that they did. Conversely, Polo encountered many different regions on his travels, giving him an open world view. Had he not, the merchant would have seen the Chinese in a negative, prejudiced light, but the trade routes allowed him to be more liberal. The Mongols appeared as another tolerant empire  during the Post-Classical Era. The Mongols were a group of nomads, united by Genghis Khan with a goal of conquest. By 1225, they had united most of central Asia. From the mid 13th century to the mid 14th century, the Mongols experienced a time of prosperity known as the Pax Mongolica. Abu’l Ghazi, a Muslim historian, described this peace as so vast that “a man might have journeyed from the land of sunrise to the land of sunset with a golden platter upon his head without suffering the least violence from anyone” (2). The Mongols, while vicious in conquering, imposed such a concord that from one of the empire to the other without befalling violence, even whilst carrying an item as precious as gold. Through

Through their conquests and strong-handed rule, Genghis Khan and his sons and grandsons who followed him created stability and peace in the Mongol Empire in the 1200s and 1300s. Historians now refer to this period of order as the Pax Mongolica, or “Mongol Peace.” You may recall that the years between 27 BC and 180 AD of the Roman Empire are known as the Pax Romana, or the “Roman Peace” because of the prosperity in the Roman Empire that resulted from a strong centralized government and few wars. The same was true for the Pax Mongolica.

John Knowles’ “A Separate Peace” takes place at a boarding school during World War II. Best friends Gene and Finny have been inseparable during their time at the Devon School. This is until reality hits Gene, and he slowly starts to realize that he is inferior to his best friend. Through the unbalanced friendship between two teenagers in “A Separate Peace,” Knowles illustrates that a loss of identity may be present in a relationship if there is an unequal amount of power.

One major effect of Mongol expansion on Eurasia was the Mongols’ Facilitation of Trade. This effect is similar to how the Mongols collected tribute from foreign travelers with the introduction of Kublai Khans decree that was issued in 1278. The Mongol Empire always favored trade and this was a very fortunate thing for the worlds nations, especially for the West. When the Mongols began to conquer land and rise to power, they opened themselves up to trade and reopened the Great Silk Road Trade Network. This was possible because the Mongols and the “Golden Horde” cleared out bandits during their conquests that had made merchants and travelers afraid to go on with their business. The Mongols also created rest stops and had fortified outposts along the GSR and helped caravans across the network. Because of this, trade contacts increased exponentially starting around 1250. This also had to do with ‘Pax Mongolica’ which was the peace that the Mongols had created around Eurasia since they began to unify it. The Mongols facilitation of trade and their openings of trade all around Eurasia is what shifted trade to the west and began the diffusion of different technologies. According to the information from Marco Polo in Document 1, the Mongols were smart and wealthy people who lived by their skills and trade. Marco Polo goes on to explain how even the merchants had the spirits of soldiers and the people in general had what it took to conquer the whole world.

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 Pax Mongolica, also known as the Mongol Peace and Pax Tatarica, was brought up at the end of the time of Mongols’ conquests. Western Scholars designated the fourteenth century as the Pax Mongolica. The Pax Mongolica contributed to the development of a new global culture because the Mongol Khans pursued peaceful trade and diplomacy (220). The bubonic plague epidemic of the 1300s led to the destruction of the Mongol Empire because of the deaths it caused; also, the plague had demoralized the living and deprived the Mongol Golden Family of its primary source of support by cutting off trade and tribute (247).

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.

Where the mongols lived in China and Persia, they kept the economic interests and adapted to them. Mongol emperors made canals for more transportation and communications, also helping China’s agriculture continue. Persian silk industries grew and started trade with China and in Persia, Armenia-Georgia, Central Asia, and China had benefited from text free zones. With this information, this proves that the Mongols weren’t as barbaric as people thought, they helped countries prosper and let the people live well. (document

Although many say they were barbaric people (in which I think is in many cases true). With their conquering and violence came peace. Conflicts didn’t break out when people lived in the Mongol Empire, and if they did they would have to deal with Genghis. Even so, it is said that in the days of the Mongol Empire that if a you walked from one side of the Empire to the other with a gold plate on your head you would never be robbed ever. It seemed that peace was finally restored in Asia.

Every society in every age long for order, beauty, and truth. Every empire has a unique influence on the world. The Mongol Empire is no exception. The movement is best remembered for the reasons that made the greatest accomplishments of the Mongol Empire regarding warfare, major leaders during this time period, and their lasting legacy of empire regarding the Silk Road.

They believed so fiercely in the laws against stealing and they show much respect to each other, even when food is running low. They respected women too and never took advantage of them. When they finally gained control over a lot of Eurasia, they respected the people's culture and gradually adopted it. The Great Khan believed in one God, but recognized that not everyone felt that way. He didn’t force his religions onto others. He also built thousands of “yams”, or resting places for messengers with comfortable lodgings and hundreds of horses. These weren’t cheap and he taxed heavily for them. The Mongols also increased trade throughout all of Eurasia and protected anyone traveling on trade routes. This helped bring goods, ideas, and diseases to other countries much faster.(Document 6, 7, 8, 9, and

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

The Mongols were people I wouldn’t want to come across. They were very brutal with their killings of the innocent, the way they conquered countries and cities and their way of life. The peace was kept between Mongols. Genghis Khan and Khwarazm had a peace treaty keeping them in peace. Although it was peaceful, that doesn’t mean it can’t be broken. A Mongol caravan entered Khwarazm with 150 people from Mongolia, and they were all murdered. Genghis Khan wasn’t too thrilled to hear about what had happened in fact, he decided to break out a war. In result, cities fell, more people murdered than killed before outbreak, and Persian casualties were higher than ever. Genghis Khan didn’t stop the attempts at trying to conquer other cities or countries, however. Genghis Khan wanted to make the Mongol empire as big as he could so he went on and next, attacked the West such as
