The Mongol Empire was founded in the year 1206 by Genghis Khan. At its largest, the Mongol Empire spanned from the South China Sea in the East, to parts of Asia in the North, to the Mediterranean sea in the West and to the Himalayan Mountains in the South (Document 1). The Mongol Empire had a positive impact on the rest of the world by changing trade routes, welcoming all religions and having many great inventions.

On a religious point of view for all the empires. The Governments in all 3 were muslim based. Mughals were the only group that was not predominately Muslim. Muslims were only a small minority Ottomans were Sunni Muslims. The Ottoman titles were claimed to be caliphs. They maintained Islamic law called Sandri'a. Only applied to Ottoman Muslims.

25. New forms of governance that emerged were Islam groups such as Abbasids, Delhi Sultanate, and Muslim Iberia which were created under Persian influence. The Golden Horde, Khanate of the Great Khan, Chagatai, and the Ilkhanate were Mongol Khanates originally ruled by Genghis Khan. In Europe and Japan, they had the feudal system.

There were many empires that have a distinct background, the empires such as the Mughal Empire, Ottoman Empire and Safavids Empire. The Mughal Empire is a Muslim state founded by Babur, which extended over India. They have Experienced prosperity, peace, and little outside threats under Akbar's rule. For a while it was an example of religious harmony between Muslim and Hindu religions. The Ottoman Empire grew from a small empire in 1300 to encompass most of southeastern Europe by the late 15th century. The Safavids Empire is in Iran which initially supported its cavalry by land grants. The empire was very focused on land power. Chieftains, scholars, and notables served as intermediaries between the government and the people.

In the 13 century, the Middle East was controlled mainly by non-Arab dynasty. In fact, the Mongol horde vanished the Abbasid in the battle of Bagdad as mentioned by John green in his video “Wait For it…The Mongols!” .The Mongol empire will become the bigger unified territorially empire of all history (British empire was an Maritime empire, Thalassocracy ).The Ayoubide (Kurdish dynasty) overthrow the Fatimid’s and took Egypt. In North Africa, Berber dynasty rise, such as the Almohades. In Anatolia, Turkish clan had established independent state. They migrated because of the call of Muslim sultan to fight the Mongol (BBC) .The Ottoman was one of this clan and it will become the strongest Empire that humanity known. Both Mongols and Ottomans had a huge impact in Arabic speaking lands politically, economically, religiously and socially.

Towards the end of the post classical period, during the early twelfth century new empires rose to power. Specifically, the Mongol Empire located in the steppes of Central Asia. The Mongol Empire was started by Genghis Khan who was part of a nomadic clan. Khan used his position as leader of the clan to unite all the clans in the area to create a very powerful army, which he then used to expand further and conquer empires such as China, Russia, the Middle East, and and the city of Baghdad creating the Mongol Empire. The Mongol Empire controlled the most land of any empire. As the Mongol Empire conquered new Empires they effected them through the environment, social classes, politically economically, and their culture. Two empires that the Mongol Empire had an effect drastically on was China and Russia politically and economically. The Mongol Empire improved China and Russia economically by facilitating trade routes stabilizing China economy and helped Russia semi-stable their economy. Politically the Mongol Empire enforced a system which united the people in China and helped Russia develop a political system indirectly.

“Most girls were trained from childhood for the traditional roles of wife, mother, and housekeeper. They learned how to grind grain, how to cook and make beverages, especially beer, and how to spin and weave cloth for clothing. If a woman worked outside of her home, her job usually grew out of her household

What was expected of the female children was vastly different than what was expected of the adults. Unlike most cultures where the boys attend school and the girls learn housework, it is believed that neither attended school. Instead, boy’s learned men’s work and girls did work alongside the females in their life. They learned to cook, garden, and take care of domestic animals and make clothing. By the time the females are ready to marry at the expected ages,

A young woman would marry a man who was usually significantly older than she was. After marriage, women were stuck in a home where the male was the head of the household and made all of the decisions.11 Marital choice did not exist; at least not for women. Woman were forced to marry men that they barely knew, thus even the most intimate details of their lives were decided not by them, but by others. Love was usually not a factor in the marriage equation. Wife-beating was also allowed and men sometimes imprisoned, starved, and humiliated their wives.12

Throughout history, many can see differences in the empires of America and the empires of Africa, but some fundamental similarities exist among these empires that make them successful. While each of these empires is deeply rooted in promoting economic growth and spiritual connectivity, they go about these tasks in different ways due to their individual and unique circumstances.

There are many similarities and differences in the prosperous Mongol and Mali Empires. One similarity is that both the Mongol and Mali Empire lived in nearly uninhabitable places. The Mongols in the steppe and Mali in the desert. The steppe biome has unfertile soil and the desert is very dry with poor soil for farming. Another similarity would be that both empires had very powerful leaders that helped build a better empire. Powerful Mongol leaders were Genghis Khan and Kublai Khan. A powerful Mali leader was Mansa Musa. It is said that he made it “rain” gold on a pilgrimage to Mecca. A third similarity is that both empires were extremely tolerant of other religions. Although Mansa Musa, the Mali emperor, adopted Islam as his main religion, he didn’t force his people and subjects to follow the same one. He let them worship other religions. In the Mughal Empire, which is based of the Mongol empire, Akbar the Great promoted religious tolerance. He was Muslim, but he sought wisdom from the holy men of all faiths. There are some differences as well. A difference would be that different weapons were used in battle in the Mali and Mongol Empires. Mali focused more on arrows and javelins while the Mongols didn’t. The Mongols used very powerful short-bows on horseback and gunpowder started forming! Another difference is that Mali expanded through trade and Mongols through conquest. An example of a Mongol conquest would be the capture of the Xi Xia. Mali thrived and expanded

"Upon marriage, woman became the legal wards of their husbands, as they previously had been of their fathers while still unmarried" (Martin, 68). It was common for a father to sell his young daughter into marriage and the young women had no say in her preference of her suitors (Mahaffy, 48). This was done while the girl was in her young teens while the groom was ten to fifteen years older (Martin, WEB2). As the father, or guardian, gave the young girl away he would repeat the phrase that expressed the primary aim of marriage: "I give you this women for the plowing [procreation] of legitimate children" (Martin, WEB2). The woman’s role was primarily in the home. "Households thus depended on women, whose wok permitted the family to economically self-reliant and the male citizens to participate in the public life of the polis" (Martin, WEB2).

One big of the differences was their view on religion. The Mongols did not have one religion that they all followed. Instead they had multiple religions and even created one themselves, known as Shamanism. The Ottoman Empire on the other hand made Islam as their main religion. The Ottoman Empire did allow people to worship other

Traditionally, an Indian woman had only four roles and those were; Her role as a daughter, wife, sister, and lastly, a mother. The women in today’s time however are experiencing far reaching changes and are entering into new fields that were unknown to them. They are actively participating in social, economic and political activities. Unlike the older times, women today have received higher education.
