The Influence Of Periodization

During the early thirteenth century Chinggis Khan and his following successors helped forge various tribes in to a powerful alliance that built the largest empire the world has ever seen. The Mongolian empire reached great in size in such a short period of time. This was basically because of the sturdy Mongol army and many efficient policies the Khan family established. The Mongols were very knowledgeable in military tactics. There empire had a strong sense of unity, helping the empire get so great so rapidly. There allies also contributed to the Mongolian empire. By the time of Chinggis Khan's death in 1227, he had laid the foundation of a vast and mighty empire, which continued to grow with his tactics set in stone.

In the year of 610 CE, it was the starting point in which a prophet named Muhammad ibn Abdallah created a new generation with a new way of teaching called Islam, that would soon take over the parts of Africa, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. During his time on earth, the start of Islam did not flourished as much after his death. But why did it not grow or expand when Muhammad was still on earth? The new teaching of Islam is soon expanded and the new world will have a new spiritual leader named Imam (Document E). Following the death of Muhammad the first caliph is chosen. With a new “leader” comes with new rules, polices, and a way of life. Reasons why Islam had spread so quickly is because of the qualities it possesses which is its fairness, the trade routes, and its ordinance of government.

When Mongol warriors first attacked and conquered no one had known where they had developed from. Because of this fact, the Mongols had the upper hand in attacking and conquering greater lands. Genghis Khan was one of the great rulers of the Mongols. His strategy in the army was to unite soldiers more but in a forcing manner. A soldier could be killed if they or people from their quad had run away from battle, or if some soldiers are brave and go straight

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.

Chinggis Khan was a prolific leader, predominantly known for his brutality in battle. While it is true that Chinggis was a formidable foe, he also possessed brilliant insight and vision. Once Chinggis clawed his way above his enemies, Chinggis would begin to change the environment around him. The first way in which Chinggis shaped his era was his unification of the Mongol tribes. The second way in which Chinggis shaped his era was with his military campaigns across Eurasia. The last method of change that I’ll mention was Chinggis’ change to culture. This amalgam of events, brought on by Chinggis, was a catalyst of change for Eurasia. This shift would impact not only the people residing in Eurasia, but the world as well.

Before the rule of Genghis Khan, born as Temujin, the Mongols were a group of unstable tribes. As Genghis Khan rose to power in the early 13th century, he was able to unify these tribes and assemble a strong army. With this army, he initiated military expansion throughout Eurasia. The first significant attack of a settled society in 1209 marked the beginning of the construction of a massive empire including Central Asia, China, Korea, the Middle East, and other regions.

The Chinggis Khan, or Supreme Ruler with support from the unified tribes started his campaign across Asia in 1206 and began conquering and unifying all the kingdoms under a single empire. Under his successors, the Mongol Empire spread even further, and at it’s height it reached from China’s coast on the Pacific Ocean to the Black Sea in Eastern

The Mongols just like many other tribes started as a small group and was created by Ghengis Khan. At the age of 19 when his wife as abducted, he gathered as many men as he could and started a civil war to rescue his wife. This proved his military proficiency and later became the leader of the Mongols. Soon after he began his conquest, he was swiftly taking over villages and then that became country after country. The Mongolian Empire stretched from their homeland all the way to the Caspian Sea. Even after his death the Mongolians never stopped their conquests as they were continued by his offspring’s. Ghengis Khan was known to love women so much that there are approximately 16 million direct descendants of Ghengis Khan. By 1240 the Mongolian

Chinggis Khan’s birth name was Temujin. He entered the world he was destined to conquer in 1162 in the modern Mongolia-Siberia border area clutching a blood clot on his right hand. He was born to a mother from a rival tribe who was taken captive by his father and forced into marriage. During his early life, Mongolia resembled Pre-European America. Many tribes struggled for

Founded and ruled by Genghis Khan, the Mongol Empire, became known as the largest contiguous empire in history because it 's land stretched throughout Southeast Asia and to Eastern Europe. Established in the 13th century in 1206 CE, the empire grew rapidly connecting most of Eurasia establishing trade routes and passing ideologies through 14 million square miles. Genghis Khan was instrumental to the formation of the empire bringing the rest of the world under “one sward”. It was Khan’s genius mind and manners that persuaded tribes to unite and have total victorious power when it came to war tactics. The Mongol invasions consisted of deadly battles and strategies used to conquer most of Asia between 1200-1300 CE. Finally, it wasn’t until the death of Khan that the empire really took a turn and began expanding at an exponential rate. The Great Khan position was passed through family members that contributed to the growth of the empire in Eurasia.

After the brief illness, Muhammad passed way in 632, after that the Islamic world took many different turns reflecting various different natures of characteristics, that give birth to dynamic and creative religious society. After the death of Muhammad, four different caliphs were selected in different times; all of them were close to the prophet in his time. The Muslim nation at that time were distributed into two groups who thought that Ali is the right successor of Muhammad, and other was the one that decided to have the three caliphs after which Ali was autonomously selected by the crowd (Nicholson, 2010). Last three of the caliphs were assassinated during their regime. The chaotic environment that was created after the death of Muhammad,

Outline the contribution to Islam of ONE significant person or school of thought other than Muhammad and the Four Rightly Guided Caliphs.

As history continues, many religions have had an over powering effect on western civilization. When the 5th century arose, the religion, Islam, had an extremely important impact on the civilization. Muhammad, an Arabic prophet founded Islam and began to introduce it the people of his time. Diplomacy, violence, warfare, public laws, and Arabic tradition played a crucial role in the building of the Islamic religion. These important aspects helped shape and build the Islam religion that is now one of the world’s most widely practiced religions.

Genghis Khan was the founder and the Great Khan of the Mongol Empire. He united many of the nomadic tribes of Northeast Asia and secured more land than any other conqueror in history. Genghis Khan and the Mongolians were a leading force that molded much of Eurasia. He was born into poverty, and experienced the death of his father at a very young age. Genghis Khan eventually brought improvements to warfare, technology, and tribal relations in his attempt to establish a route to the Silk Road. He was responsible for significant advancements in communication through bringing the Silk Road under one cohesive political environment. The Mongol Empire linked Europe and Asia and established trade between the East and West, creating true global commerce. The Mongol’s image as barbaric, subhuman warriors allowed the, to conquer land and expand their empire like no one before them had ever done. The Mongols were considered savages because they treated people cruelly and had little respect for any other society but themselves. “They have no human laws, know no mercy, and are more cruel than lions or bears… (149)” Genghis Khan was arguably one of the most important people in history that had one of the largest impacts on the world today.

When Charles Martel defeated the Muslims in Spain and stopped their advance into greater Europe (Ahmed 67)0, he most likely did not know just how much of an effect his victory had on the history of not only Europe, but of the known world. The fact that Islam may have overtaken the rest of the world had it not been for that crucial battle attests to the strength of this relatively new religion. If the strength of the religion is dependent upon those who start it, then it is important to analyze the life of the one key character in history who began it all. That key character is Muhammad, the man that is known as the first and last true prophet of Islam.
