The Unification Of The Mongols

Effect of the Mongol Empire on the World The Mongols are a group of people that live north of present day China, in the Asian Steppe. Although Mongolia is a pretty irrelevant nation now, Mongolia has had a huge impact on the world over the course of history. The Mongols once controlled the largest connected empire in history. The Mongols were able to craft their empire in a small amount of time, for it seemed that the Mongols’ only purpose was to destroy and conquer. The Mongols were cruel in their

When the word “Mongol” is said I automatically think negative thoughts about uncultured, barbaric people who are horribly cruel and violent. That is only because I have only heard the word used to describe such a person. I have never really registered any initial information I have been taught about the subject pass the point of needing and having to know it. I felt quite incompetent on the subject and once I was given an assignment on the book, Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern Age, I was

The unification of the Mongol tribes by Chinggis Khan resulted in a powerful army and a series of military campaigns that constructed the Mongol Empire. The Mongol Empire, lasting from the 13th to the 14th centuries, exerted considerable political, social, and economic influence on conquered regions such as Eastern Asia and Russia. For example, as a result of the Mongols revitalizing long-distance trade networks such as the Silk Road, both China and Russia experienced the exchange of cultures, technologies

The Mongols were known as illiterate and religiously shameful, not to mention being small in number as well. On the other hand, China had never been under foreign rule before the Mongol invasion. All these changed due to the vision of one man – Genghis Khan, who aimed in unifying the world, which was thought to be a heaven’s command. He was on the conquest of whole of China, which was never accomplished by any other Barbarian ruler outside the Great Wall of China, except Genghis Khan. Background

Did the Mongols have a positive influence? The Mongolian of the Asian Steppe had a positive impact on the world during their rule of the Asian continent from 1260 and 1368 by influencing peace, reunification of Asia, and good trade. Although many say they were barbaric people (in which I think is in many cases true). With their conquering and violence came peace. Conflicts didn’t break out when people lived in the Mongol Empire, and if they did they would have to deal with Genghis. Even so, it

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

On the opposing side, I believed that the Caliph of Baghdad provided the best arguments against Genghis Khan and his descendants. The Caliph of Baghdad showed that although he may have denied the requests of the Mongols, the Mongols still destroyed books and knowledge that were present in the city of Baghdad. This was a good counter argument because throughout the trial, the defense was arguing that the Khans were civilized because they furthered the cultural development throughout Asia. However

Matheus Bergonzine HIST 115 – World History I November 17, 2014 Instructor: Dr. Marc D. Froese It is beyond argument that Genghis Khan’s success was accompanied by bloodshed, violence, and war. Nonetheless, the young boy who would later become one of the greatest conquerors of all time created his own destiny. He was raised in a cruel tribal environment with no proper schooling. Before he even reached puberty, Genghis killed his own half-brother and escaped from kidnappers all by himself (Weatherford

The Mongol conquests and campaigns of the thirteenth century markeddid indeed mark an important break in Eurasian History as they brought the the Eurasian world together as never before. The Mongols were a mixture of forest and prairie people that lived by hunting and livestock herding. As skilled archers and deadly warriors they expanded their empire to stretch across northern and central Asia conquering territories much larger than their own. This unleashed a chain of events that would leave an
