The Genetics For Mongol Migration

In the dictionary the definition of the Mongols is “a native or inhabitant of Mongolia” (Webster). Mongols are much more than just inhabitants of Mongolia. They were great conquerors but brutally barbaric. The Mongol empire ruled from the 13th century to the mid 14th century (McDougal Littel). Genghis Khan and his descendants accomplished a lot, but the civilians faced many hardships. It seems as if they came and left in a matter of only a couple of years. The legacy of the Mongols should be evaluated based on positive and negative contributions to society. Positively, the conquerors were quite successful as they acquired land all throughout Eurasia. Negatively, they ferociously harmed people and valuables in the process.

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

Prior to the rise of the Mongol empire and their invasion of Russia, was a time of violence. Mongolia separated by tribes and provinces was a non-unified empire with little impact to Central Asia. Being separated, feuds between provinces of power and money were the reason why Mongolia remained separated. The provinces after a long a grueling process eventually became united by a

The Mongols were nomadic pastoralists who originated in the Eurasian steppes but eventually conquered the largest contiguous empire in history. The first ruler Genghis Khan was able to unite the loosely-bound nomadic clans in 1206 AD and begin seizing land through ingenious military tactics such as base-10 warrior organization, trickery, and terror. Later, his grandson Kublai Khan continued conquering new land and adding it to their vast yet relatively decentralized government. Although there were a few positive effects of Mongol rule, they still had an overall negative impact on Eurasia because of the large quantities of deaths they caused and their weakening of Chinese power in their own government.

Established and led for a time by the highly-intelligent Genghis Khan, utilizing fear mongering and taking advantage of their nomadic lifestyle; created the most fierce cavalries to grace the Eastern hemisphere. THeir war tactics lead to them conquering most of Asia which bled into India, and Russia among numerous other territories. [Doc 12] The Mongols are an ethnicity originate from an area that is now Mongolia, Russia and China; and according to Chinese records

The Mongols originated in central Asia and conquered one after the other, earning the reputation of “barbarians.” It started off with Genghis Khan and the Mongols who first attacked their neighbors, then the Persian empire of Khwarazm, another wave which included Russia and Eastern Europe, and a third wave of The Middle East. At their peak, the Mongols had conquered 4,860,000 square miles of land, making them larger than what Napoleon Bonaparte, Adolf Hitler, Attila, and Cyrus the Great had conquered combined. Were the Mongols really as barbaric as they sounded or was it all just rumors? The Mongols were a barbaric empire that would do whatever it took to succeed. The Mongols were an extremely barbaric empire because of how soldiers who fled were treated, the cruel and unusual deaths of prisoners, and how adultery was conducted.

Throughout the years, historians have found evidence to show that many ethnic groups were barbaric, like the Germanic tribes: Ostrogoths and Visigoths, or the nomadic tribes: Huns and Mongols. Though the evidence is strong to show the primitive nature of the Ostrogoths, Visigoths, and Huns, the evidence is ambiguous for the Mongols. From what historians have collected — who they conquered and people they were close to conquering — they believe that Mongols were barbaric; however disagreements can be made, because of the lack of evidence and prejudices we have been raised along-side with. This can be shown in their military, their commerce, their laws, and how they rule their conquered lands.

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.

In their role of empirical dominance throughout 13th century Eurasia, the Mongol’s were nomadic tribes of herders and raiders north of China, under the leadership of Genghis Khan. Born under the name Temujin, Genghis traits of charisma and reputation as a tactician won over his people’s support. Thus through the act of uniting groups of the steppe (region), he was crowned Khan of Khan in 1206. As quoted from Hugh Kennedy’s book Mongols, Huns and Viking's nomads at war” “the Mongols were triumphant in every major engagement fought up to ‘Ayan Jalut in 1260’ “. A crucial factor unique to this success was the nature of Mongol soldiers in which their life-styles demanded skills such as archery and horseback riding, which was also essential in

Beginning in 1209 and dissolving in 1368, the Mongol Empire is history’s largest contiguous land empire. Temüjin, who later earned the title of Genghis Khan, was known as the overlord of all Mongol dominions and it was his leadership that brought the Mongols out of the plains and into Eurasia, which it conquered with advanced archery skills and military techniques. I believe history should judge the Mongols positively because of their leadership and military successes, the aspects of Mongol society, and the cultural exchange the Mongols facilitated.

The Mongols were nomadic people that lived in tribes in Asia during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. The joining of numerous tribes would eventually form one of the biggest empires in history. With the lack of rain though the region, the Mongols did not have wide spread agriculture, instead they would herd sheep, cattle, goats, horses, and camels that thrived on the grasses and shrubs of the steppe lands where they lived. The Mongol tribes would travel with their herds to lands with copious amounts of grasses so their animals could graze. When their herds exhausted the vegetation, they would migrate to a new area. The tribes were self-sufficient, they not only lived off the meat, milk, and

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 Mongolians had such a strong and powerful empire that made a great impact throughout history. Through the novel Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World, which was written by Jack Weatherford we learn many aspects that assisted the Mongol empire into building the largest contiguous empire to ever exist. The Mongolian empire began at around 1200 A.D. and throughout the empires very long and fairly large existence, there were very influential aspects that were created. The most powerful aspect was that the Mongolian empire had a very strong and very powerful line of rulers all coming from the family line of Genghis Kahn, also referred to as the Great Kahn. Under the rule of Genghis, the Mongol society would be changed entirely. Their military is another aspect that assisted the Mongols to became dominant due to their discipline. And they also had very strong tribal unity having faith and loyalty in each other and working hard together to accomplish their set tasks. These aspects would assist the Mongols in building the world’s largest contiguous empire in human history.
