For centuries Mongols have been known for being destructive and malicious people who did nothing but take the land from those they murdered. The name Genghis Khan will always be remembered the leader of the world’s largest and notorious empires in history. While it’s true Mongols had a brute way to how they attained their empire, they did contribute to bettering society. Not only did they respect the many different religions of their people, shared many things with the rest of Asia and Europe through trade. As the Mongols expanded their empire across Asia and Europe, A vast number of people from many different cultures and religions were now under the rule of Genghis Khan. Khan was accepting of his people’s beliefs and allowed them to
The positive aspects of the Mongol conquest were surprisingly vast and extensive. The Mongols helped unify an expansive empire through a network of communication channels- inspired from the posts of their military. This system spread across Asia and Europe, a larger area than any empire thus far had to control. Also, the Mongols were peaceful with these conquests, being open to religious practices of the conquered. This, possibly, was in accordance to their ruler, Chinggis Khan, who often preached about a lenient rule for cultures out of respect as he often respected the practices of those he conquered. To continue, the Mongols helped unify the empire through a writing system and mail system, which they called “Yam”. On the other hand, the Mongols were also very destructive and brutal in regards to their conquests. The Mongols pillaged and destroyed cities, raping the women and killing most of the men. They only kept the highest
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
In history, what often occurs is that the worst of a civilization is remembered and not its legacy. The Mongol era is viewed as a small, destructive, and bloody period that left nothing behind. What started out as a group of nomads, led by Chinggis Khan, turned into the largest empire that had ever existed. The article focuses on how their legacy changed the world by building an empire with cross-cultural, religious, and economic exchange.
The Mongols were one of the most successful dynasties in the world. They had a tremendous impact on the future of Asia and the World. The mongols were brilliant they struck deals with different armies and the armies they killed they used the survivors to make their army bigger. There battle technique was very unique setting armies into groups of ten. This is how they were so successful and were able to take Asia and China down. The Mongolians of the asian Steppe had a positive impact on the world during their rule of the Asian continent from 1260 to 1368 by influencing united, trade and battle tactics.
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 is said that in the days of the Mongol Empire that if a you walked from one side of the Empire to the other with a gold plate on your head you would never be robbed ever. It seemed that peace was finally restored in Asia.
The Mongol man of Afro-Eurasia, Genghis Khan, was a matchless ruler that was the main historical character to contribute to the creation of the Mongol Empire. He conquered to the south of the Great Wall of China and to the west towards Persia, part of Afghanistan and many other conquests came under his powerful rule that made others surprised at how sudden this force appeared before them. Through his conquests, he impacted the surrounding neighbors as they saw that the Mongols had become quite powerful out of the blue. Also, with the passing generations, Genghis Khan’s sons and grandsons accomplished many feats like establishing dynasties and finally building a lasting powerful empire.
The Mongols had a profound influence on world history. The profound, or very extreme, influence of the Mongols was because of the way the Mongols treated other people. Their army was ruthless to every city they came across. However, this was an effective form of the expansion of their empire. The Mongols’ immense empire required stability, law and order, and a method of unification. The trade routes and the period of peace accomplished all of these for the Mongols. The Mongols’ influence on world history was due to their great expansion of the empire and due to their unification by trade routes.
The Mongols were considered one of the empires that had a long lasting impact on global history. During the reign of Genghis Khan and even after his death, the Mongolians opened up trade routes along the Silk Road that introduced gunpowder to Europe, gave women power and authority and although they did put fear and death on the lands they conquered, afterwards the territory became unified under one nation which came to be known as the Pax Mongolia. To analysis the entirety of the Mongolian Empire would be considered a challenge at hand, but to give credit that the Mongols did nothing to contribute to world history besides the massacre of 40+ million people and the black death is a fault. Although the con factors were also true, it seems that the positive outweighs the negative thus proving that the Mongolians did good for global history.
The Mongols conquered more land in 25 years than the romance did in 400 years. The Mongols created a nation like Russia and even Korea. The Mongols created the first great free trade zone. Genghis Khan was a great leader who left a great empire even though it died out.
One of the largest empires in history was the Mongol Empire. Some say they were brutal and horrible people. While others say that they changed the world and Asia for the good. Although it is not clear if they had a positive or a negative impact, it is clear that they changed the course of history. The Mongolians of the Asian Steppe had a positive impact on the world during their rule of the Asian continent from 1206 to 1368 by influencing culture, religion, and trade.
The Mongols were descendants of Genghis Khan and have played a big role in world history. The Mongolians of the Asian Steppe had a positive impact on the world during their rule of the Asian continent from 1260 to 1368 by influencing the Silk Road, Asia under one rule, and military advancements. The Mongols did many things that impacted the world and changed history. If they didn’t do these things then our world would be much different than it is now.
The mongols impact on asia and the world was a good thing and a bad thing they destroyed many place and villages also killed a lot of people. But it looked like they were trying to make up for that near the end of Genghis Khan’s life first he had a religious tolerance. He didn’t mind the foreign religions coming into mongolia/china. Genghis Khan was very smart and had great tactics and strategies including when he had to gain allies. He got the favors of merchants,artisans and religions but he did want to put the world under one sword so maybe he was building his empire just to do so. His father which was the family patriarch was assassinated when Genghis Khan was 9 his mother was the savior in his eyes she taught him survival skills and probably
I think history should remember them as both destroyers of cultures and for their role in fostering cross cultural communication. When it came to war the Mongols were brutal and ruthless. They killed thousands of people and destroyed entire villages. The fact that they never set up a stable empire seems to indicate they had no real interest in creating a lasting empire, and that instead they conquered other land simply because they could. On the other hand, the Mongols saw no distinctions in race and did not force the lands they conquered
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.
Genghis Khan played a pivotal role in the creation of the Mongolian Empire. Without Genghis Khan, the nomadic tribes of Mongolia, such as Kereyids, Naimans, Merkit, Tartars, and the remaining smaller Mongolian tribes, would have possibly never united, wether the union occurred through force or alliances. Genghis created his Mongolian Empire through the utilisation of his military and intellectual prowess, the crushing of his enemies (no Mongolian dared decline his leadership), and through his unique viewing and leniency towards outsiders. In the Empires creation, the Khan employed a meritocratic government, which allowed for men to be ranked on skill rather than birth, and implemented laws for allowing followers of all religions to be welcome within the Empire, which was unheard of within other Empires. Genghis created an Empire like no other, an Empire, which viewed skill and loyalty above birth, race or religion; an Empire notorious for brutality, feared by all and pillaged, yet welcomed conquered peasants and farmers into it, and an Empire which was lenient in religion, valued traders/artisans, and offered them a higher status than the Chinese or Persians would. Through the utilisation of Genghis’s military prowess and
