The Gengol Empire : Genghis Khan And The Mongol Empire

Some people would say the Mongols were a key development to civilization. However, the progress they made is nothing compared to their cruelty and the process they used to conquer the majority of Asia and parts of the Middle East. The Mongols were originally a small, nomadic tribe that originated from the steppes of Central Asia. The tribe placed little value on objects, considering they moved around in yurts and hardly settled. Led by Genghis Khan, they conquered land worth double the size of the Roman Empire. The Mongols were greedy, bloodthirsty barbarians who had little to no regard for human life. They went to unthinkable lengths to conquer land while destroying countless ancient cities.

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.

The major legacies of the Mongol rule in the Islamic world are that they supported trade, built roads, increased religious tolerance, further advanced in medicine and astronomy and built paper money. They reopened four major trade routes which were closed – Silk Road, sea route from China to Persian Gulf, Siberian Route and an alternate route from lower Volga. The four major legacies of Genghis Khan, the founder of Mongol empire were tolerance, written language, legal code and trade and crafts.

The Mongol Empire was founded in the year 1206 by Genghis Khan. At its largest, the Mongol Empire spanned from the South China Sea in the East, to parts of Asia in the North, to the Mediterranean sea in the West and to the Himalayan Mountains in the South (Document 1). The Mongol Empire had a positive impact on the rest of the world by changing trade routes, welcoming all religions and having many great inventions.

The Mongol Empire, an infamous empire in due to its oppressively powerful army, 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 Khan leader did not convert to Christianity when confronted

By 1260, the Mongol Empire extended from the Siberian forests to the Yellow Sea and the Eastern Mediterranean coast. The vast expanse of land the Mongols ruled over made it difficult for leaders to quickly relay orders to troops making advances on several fronts and to communicate other information, edicts, and laws. To combat the inefficient communication, the Yam system was developed under Chinggis Khan’s rule and was officially established under Ogodei Khan. The network included post houses located every few miles, between which messengers would ride their horses pass off the messages to each other. When Marco Polo traveled in the Mongol Empire in the thirteenth century, he claimed that the Mongols maintained up to 10,000 relay stations and 200,000 horses in the Yam (Strayer 347). Each messenger was considered an official representative of the Great Khan, and was eventually issued a tablet called a paiza. The paizas were used to distinguish messengers carrying out orders from unauthorized merchants and traders who were not granted the use of the stations. Through this simple yet massive communication system, messages that normally required weeks to transport now took only a few days to cross thousands of miles. By speeding up communication, the Great Khan could give orders and receive reports rapidly, increasing the efficiency and accuracy of their military attacks and the rate of implementing new government structures in conquered territories. By connecting the far

The Mongols were history’s strongest and biggest empire that ever lived. The most powerful emperor was Genghis Khan who conquered over 4 million square miles of land. By the peak of the conquest, the Mongols had land from Korea to Poland and from Vietnam to Syria. There is no doubt that the Mongols were Barbaric. The Mongols focused more on making alliances and invading land than on educating their people.

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

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 Mongols were excellent in learning from obstacles, doing without, and making the best out of what was given with them. Their ingenious thought process led to them being one of the most successful empires of all time. Unlike no other empire of their time, their war-like way of life is what brought them to the top and is what they’ve left in history. The Mongolian empire was successful due to their vast understanding of characteristics needed in an empire, dealing with environmental setbacks, and makeshift

Mongol Empire by Genghis Khan founded in 1206 after the unification of Turk-Mongol tribes and then expanding to the Eurasian mainland, starting with the invasion of Western Xia in northern China and Khwarizmi in the Persian Empire. In its heyday, Peace Mongolia (the Silk Road of the Mongol Empire) has created an opportunity for cultural exchange and trade between the East and the West during the 13th century - the century 14. The Mongols have many tribes, living by farming, hunting occupied in the vast grasslands of northern China.

He allowed conquered people to go about as they did before, except that they had to pay daily tribute to the Mongols. Genghis Khan ruled his lands with toleration and justice. Since the Mongols really did not have a religion, they decided to tolerate others and respected the thoughts of other people such as scholars, artists, and many more. Genghis Khan also listened to the opinions of Jews, Muslims, Christians, Buddhists, Confucians and Zoroastrians. Genghis Khan had set an example for his succeeders. The regions were changed in a positive way. Even though Genghis Khan had conquered the regions with fierceness and bloodshed, he had ruled them with peace, justice and toleration. He had allowed them to live just as they had before the Mongols invaded. Also, with Khan’s set example, his sons and grandsons established peace and order within their domains. Their stability had set a stage for economic growth. With the protection from the Mongols, the Silk Road was much, much safer to travel on. It was said that a man with a loads of gold would be able to walk from China all the way to Eastern Europe without even getting looted. This would lead to land trade between Europe and Asia. And the cultural exchanges would increase foods, tools, inventions and ideas from one to another. Gunpowder and windmills would spread from east to west, the techniques of papermaking would go from China to the west and the crops and trees would go from the west (Middle East) to China.
