Mongols: Positive Or Negative Effects On The World

Positively, the Mongols were great conquerors and they respected each other, negatively, they brutally harmed people and valuables in the process. Charles J. Halperin wonderfully stated, “The Mongol Empire made significant contributions to the political institutions, economic development, and cultural diversity of many lands. No history of the Mongol Empire dwells only on Mongol destruction, can be satisfactory” (Doc 6). The history of the Mongols can’t only be about the negativity that they caused to society as the Mongols had a more positive impact rather than a negative impact. The Mongols created a vast empire throughout Eurasia, but it wasn’t worth killing over 5 million people in the process. In the end, as a result of the vast empire, they weren’t able to control it. Eventually, the Mongol empire and became a part of the society in the area and vanished

The world has viewed the Mongols as destructive barbarians; however, the Mongols viewed themselves as soldiers. The perception of themselves is important because they did not believe it was destructive to unite a world empire. They believed that because they were soldiers, anyone in their path could be taken down by force. The nations that defined Mongols as destructive are the same people that resisted joining their empire. The Mongol’s obsession with power, dedication to their leader, and their need to possess land is why I believe they should not be remembered as destructive barbarians. Instead, I think they should be known as the empire that failed to unite the world.

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 Mongols were very harsh and brutal like no one else in their era but I believe that they are not barbarians. The Mongols had a strong dominating military that was almost always successful, they contributed to many of the ideas that are still around today, and made a very stern set of laws that kept their community civilized which is why I believe that the Mongols were not barbarians.

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.

The Mongols are a group of men and some women who took over China, and united the largest empire in the world history. They did this in many ways, some positive and some negative, using smart tactics to make their way to ruling the empire. Nevertheless, the Mongols had a more positive impact than negative by influencing transportation and communication, economic diversity, and politics in the world around them for many years.

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

When you first hear the word Mongol, the immediate image that comes to mind is that of a fearsome and ruthless warrior. This reputation helped the Mongols conquer and rule the largest empire in history which spanned from China to Europe. While the rise of the Mongols is largely attributed to the emergence of their famed leader, Genghis Khan, the Mongol Empire itself would have lasting effects on China, Korea, and Japan even after his death. The Mongols would occupy Koryo Korea, defeat the Southern Song Dynasty to occupy China, and attempt to invade and conquer Japan on two occasions under the guidance of Kublai Khan. These aggressive maneuvers by the Mongol Empire would have significant ramifications on the development of China, Korea, and

Many great empires have formed and been defeated throughout history. A common trait with all of these empires have been control. A current empire today is a terrorist group in Afghanistan called the Taliban. Like its predecessors, they seek total power and control. The Taliban to this day has been battling Afghan officials and have been taking control of providences one by one, boosting their power.

We hardly knew what to make of all this. Our Mongols explained that tomorrow night there will be a religious ceremony of great importance which will be very worthwhile to see.

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.

Due to the Taliban taking over it has lead for many negative effects to occur such has creating harsher laws that are specifically targeted at women. Mortinos believed that by building schools and providing an education for these girls was one way to empower them and make more knowledgeable because not only will they be the future etchers of their community but the future that will keep moving Pakistan and Afghanistan forward.

Bombs have been part of parvana's whole life.This connects to the thesis because war in Afghanistan has affected societies,family and individuals.Through displacement incred child labor and decreased womens rights.

The country of Afghanistan has gone through decades of war but still has much history to it, such as the many different ethnic tribes it has. Afghanistan holds many ethnic tribes including Pashtuns, Tajiks, Hazaras, Turkmen, and many other minorities. After the Pashtuns, The Tajiks hold up 27% of the population but their way of life, their history, and their unique food makes them very different from the rest of Afghanistan.

People in Afghanistan lived a different life during its monarchy years than right now. Afghanistan at first was conquered by Darius I of Babylonia circa 500 B.C., and by Alexander the Great of Macedonia in 329 B.C. The greatest king of Afghanistan is Mahmoud of Ghazni. He is a 11th-century conqueror who created an empire from Iran to India. In the 13th century, Genghis Khan took over the territory; the area wasn’t united as a single country until the 1700s. In 1870, Islam took root after the area got invaded by different Arab conquerors.The purpose of this paper is to see how Afghanistan was during its monarchy years before the war with Russia and take a look at its rulers and how they affected the country.
