Mongolia

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. It existed primarily throughout Period 3, 600 CE - 1450 CE, but declined within this time period. Despite this, parts of the Mongol Empire such as the Golden Horde persisted into Period

Roman Empire and Mongolian Empire The key to the Mongolian success lied in their excellent horsemanship, their use of the composite bow, their unimaginable discipline and communication on the battlefield and also their ability to adapt to enemy tactics. The Mongolian invasion of China often makes it sound as though these nomadic people did not have much of a battle plan, however it is the exact opposite according to (Conant, 1994) “Genghis Khan was a very cautious man, and would study the towns

Mongolia was founded in 1206 A.D. It was ruled by many nomadic empires throughout Mongolian history until it eventually became an independent country in 1911. The early Mongols were a nomadic tribe who lived in clans on northern steppes of China. They lived in yurts, called ordus, which were made of light wood and felt. They were constantly at war among themselves, fighting over grazing lands, attempting to conquer them. They were never comfortable, always expectant of lies and backstabbing

both China and Russia but more drastically impacted Russia economically. Led by Genghis Khan and motivated by money and power, the Mongols overtook much of Eurasia thus creating the largest land based empire in history. China, located just south of Mongolia (the homeland of the mongols), was overtaken first. It was ruled directly by the Mongols whereas in Russia, the Mongols ruled indirectly through independent princes because of the lack of resources needed for their domesticated animals. Their rule

Everyday, people move to different cities, towns, neighborhoods, or just the middle of nowhere. And these people who relocate, bring something unique to the new area that they live in. When people migrate, a society becomes more diverse. Cultures, foods, religions, languages, beliefs, and much more are exposed to different people and this in turn, causes many people to become more informed, diverse, less ignorant, and sometimes even infuriated. Just like in the present, the same things occurred in

In the early 13th Century an impressive and terrifying force was spreading over half the known world. Atop the backs of horses the Mongols brought down large empires with their military conquest and innovative conquest. The Mongolians started their empire as a collection of nomadic tribes struggling for supremacy. Little did they know but major kingdoms across the world were about to experience a dark age. Over the course of the Mongolian conquest the innovation in war, commerce, and diplomatic circles

The Mongolians of the Asian Steppe had a positive impact on the world by influencing trade, laws, and discovery. The first positive Mongol impact on the world is the impact they had on trade. The Mongol Empire had achieved something that no one else had ever done, which was gaining complete control of Asia and the trading routes held within. This meant that because they controlled all trade routes throughout Asia, trade flourished because there were no enemies to attack merchants. As a result, relations

the noble families or ruling clan of the other tribes which are called Borjigid or Kiyad.By the end of 12th century, Genghis Khan was elected to be the tribe leader of their tribe and after almost 20 years, he was able to unite all the tribes in Mongolia and he was then titled as the “Great Khan”. Under the rule of Genghis, he replaced the old tribal leaders to military commanders. The military commander’s son could inherit his father’s position. As the Mongolian Empire becomes larger under his rule

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

Success Matters More Than Others Lives In the dictionary the definition of the Mongols is “a native or inhabitant of Mongolia” (Webster). Mongols are much more than just inhabitants of Mongolia. They were great conquerors but brutally barbaric. The Mongol empire ruled from the 13th century to the mid 14th century (McDougal Littel). Genghis Khan and his descendants accomplished a lot, but the civilians faced many hardships. It seems as if they came and left in a matter of only a couple of years. The
