Mongolian presence in these areas allowed them to influence those worlds, politically and socially.In China, the Mongols were able to become the elite ruling class under the Yuan dynasty (p 372). Being in this position allowed the Mongols to take political advantage in the form of collective taxes and other resources that would benefit them.This had global implications because the Mongols could use those taxes to fund expeditions conquer other parts of the world. They were also able to add to their arsenals and get transportation to these other

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.

One of the most notable things about the Mongol Empire after Genghis Khan’s death was the conquest of the Russian land and the subsequent treatment of the Russian people. In 1235, Ögedei Khan told Batu Khan to conquer Russia, which at the time included modern-day Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Belarus, and the Baltic states. The Mongols managed to reach Ryazan in 1237 where they refused to surrender. The Mongols retaliated, capturing several major Russian cities, although, some cities were left alone due to physical barriers that daunted the Mongolian troops. The Mongols went back to Russia in 1239 after capturing more cities, and eventually captured south Russia’s capital of Kiev.There, they left behind a path of destruction and death, forcing the

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 Mongols began to develop rapidly after they overthrew the Chinese in 1279. They were able improve due to their leaders and their location. The Mongols began to develop in areas such as science, technology, and mathematics which helped them to become stronger and more advanced.

Document 1 states, Genghis Khan conquered more land than Alexander the Great, Tamerlane, Cyrus the Great, Attila, Adolf Hitler and Napoleon Bonaparte. Genghis Khan and the Mongols conquered 4,860,000 square miles more than double the amount of land as the other conquerors.

I was watching my cousin play Fallout Shelter, and he said that the things that are needed for a safe and long-lasting shelter is charisma, agility, strength, and perception. These four words best describe an innovative kingdom, and the kingdom that best fit all these words was the Mongol Empire, the mightiest and biggest Empire in the world. Mongols were nomads from north of the Gobi Desert. They were first ruled by Genghis Khan, which means "Universal Ruler". Temuchin, which is Genghis ' birth name, lived a rough early life.

The Mongol empire lasted for only 40 years, 1260-1300 A.D (Doc 1). Since then and before then, there hasn 't been an empire so big, with so many advances. Even though there were many destructions throughout the process of the making of the Mongol Empire, they should be remembered as an innovative empire because it was the biggest empire in the world and still managed to be prosperous, it was tolerant towards all races/religions and people and knew how to protect it, and last, but not least, it made it 's own government and its own way of governing it.

This turmoil included a weak line of succession, bureaucratic corruption, and the inability to lift economic burdens. The empire, in its weakened state, leaves itself vulnerable to many outside attacks from enemies and at risk for regional, racial and ethnic wars. If the empire wasn’t putting out fires on the inside, it may have been possible for the empire to defend itself.

The Mongol Empire, founded in the early 13th century, was a pastoral empire over twice the size of the Roman Empire that dominated throughout Eurasia. After its founding, the Mongol Empire rose to be a massive superpower which, by the time of Genghis Khan’s death, reached from the Pacific Ocean to the Caspian Sea.

His leadership was recognized for his theory to promote people based on their achievements rather than their family positions or their wealth. He also gave positions to lower level men of conquered tribes and destroyed their leaders, so these new men respected and worshipped him. With a strong leader and warriors excellent in horseback riding and archery, the Mongols learned they could attack and destroy civilizations of all types. They would learn from their failures and adapt for their next attack. They learned siege craft to attack castles and walled cities, they built ships to attack Japan, and they learned to use gunpowder. Once the Mongols would conquer their enemy, they would slaughter the remaining people because they did not want their victim’s government, they just wanted to loot and destroy the civilization and move on. The Mongols enjoyed chasing and murdering their victims. The Mongols were truly barbaric.
