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. While the Mongols originally were from the steppes of Central Asia, around 1270 C.E., the Mongol empire stretched from Central Europe to Japan, north
Some people would say the Mongols were a key development to civilization. However, the progress they made is nothing compared to their cruelty and the process they used to conquer the majority of Asia and parts of the Middle East. The Mongols were originally a small, nomadic tribe that originated from the steppes of Central Asia. The tribe placed little value on objects, considering they moved around in yurts and hardly settled. Led by Genghis Khan, they conquered land worth double the size of the Roman Empire. The Mongols were greedy, bloodthirsty barbarians who had little to no regard for human life. They went to unthinkable lengths to conquer land while destroying countless ancient cities.
The Mongol Empire had many impacts on modern day Asia and other parts of the world. Genghis Khan led an empire from the steppes of Asia during the 13th century, called the Mongols. They conquered a lot of land, from to Korea to Poland, and also from Vietnam to Syria. Because they ‘terrorized’ much of Asia, they were known as barbarians. They were thought to live beyond civilization, and known as evil. The Mongolians of the Asian Steppe had a negative impact on the world during their rule of the Asian continent from 1206 to 1368 by influencing violence, destruction, and the falling of cities.
The mongol was a tremendous impact on the Future history in the time of 1206-1368. The Mongols had a general named Genghis Khan, however they had no true ruler. But, I will argue that they had a very negative impact on our history of Asia and the world today. The Mongols lived in the steppe of the Asian Plateau which was a good place for them. They did a lot of horrid things that cause us to lose the history of the past. Although this affected our learning status now, it’s just a minor problem to all they did in the past events. Others will say that they had a positive impact on our history, but this is just a quick article on why they are wrong.
Do you think the good connection between West and East of the world was because of Mongols? The Mongol Empire existed during the 13th and 14th century. It was the largest contiguous land empire in history. Some say Mongols were completely destructive barbarians. They were seen as threat to civilizations and people throughout Europe and Asia. They are wrong because Mongols were encouragers of cultural growth and diffusion.
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.
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.
One major effect of Mongol expansion on Eurasia was the Mongols’ Facilitation of Trade. This effect is similar to how the Mongols collected tribute from foreign travelers with the introduction of Kublai Khans decree that was issued in 1278. The Mongol Empire always favored trade and this was a very fortunate thing for the worlds nations, especially for the West. When the Mongols began to conquer land and rise to power, they opened themselves up to trade and reopened the Great Silk Road Trade Network. This was possible because the Mongols and the “Golden Horde” cleared out bandits during their conquests that had made merchants and travelers afraid to go on with their business. The Mongols also created rest stops and had fortified outposts along the GSR and helped caravans across the network. Because of this, trade contacts increased exponentially starting around 1250. This also had to do with ‘Pax Mongolica’ which was the peace that the Mongols had created around Eurasia since they began to unify it. The Mongols facilitation of trade and their openings of trade all around Eurasia is what shifted trade to the west and began the diffusion of different technologies. According to the information from Marco Polo in Document 1, the Mongols were smart and wealthy people who lived by their skills and trade. Marco Polo goes on to explain how even the merchants had the spirits of soldiers and the people in general had what it took to conquer the whole world.
During the 13th and 14th century, a nomadic group known as the Mongols succeeded in vanquishing land from Vietnam to Syria and Korea to Poland. The rise of Genghis Khan brought on the conquest of Northern China and Ancient Persia. His son, Ogedei, superseded Genghis after his death. Ogedei was able to gain power of Russia and Eastern Europe after ten years of fighting. After the death of Ogedei in 1242, Genghis’ grandson, Mongke reigned. The large military conquered the Middle East, expanding the Mongol empire yet again. It comes as a surprise that the Mongol’s maintained such a large empire for around 162 years. The Mongol’s were able to gain and perpetuate power owing to their reputation of terrorization, commerce and ruthless military strategy.
As I stated up above Genghis Khan and the Mongols had a positive impact on the world during their rule of the Asian continent from the years of 1260 and 1368. They influenced the Largest Empire twice as large as Alexander the Great’s, United China for the first time in forever, and trading along the Silk
Two of the areas that were impacted by the mongols were Europe and Muslim areas. The Mongols taught new ways of making war and taught the importances of gunpowder. Most importantly Mongol conquests facilitated trade between the civilizations, making possible the exchange of foods, tools, and ideas. This brought great wealth to traders.(doc 2) The Mongols changed how Europeans viewed the world; they were exposed to different cultures, beliefs, values, attitudes, and institutions (doc 3)
Did Genghis Khan and the Mongol Empire have a negative impact on the world? The Mongolian of the Asian Steppe had a positive impact on the world during their rule of the Asian continent from 1260 to 1368 by influencing Mongolian Commerce between China and Persia, Battle Tactics and having the largest empire. Genghis Khan was a great leader and had great battling skills for his empire, even though they lost in several battles and won many battles they never gave up and succeeded for a long time. The Mongolian Commerce was a big topic because they found several transportations, cities and routes. The Battle Tactics was an attack that had them all fighting for each other and having to believe that they could do it. The Mongol Empire was huge because all the Mongolians conquered a lot of Central Asia and China.
The Mongols connected cultures in Eurasia by spreading technology, disease, and the spread of religion. In the “Timeline Illustrating the Spread of Printing Technology from East to West” {document 4} it states “in the 700’s the Chinese started printing with wooden blocks.” Therefore it led to 1500 when it states “More than 1,000 printers are active in Europe.” This supports the spread of technology because through trade the Mongols showed other cultures the printing technology until there were many printers in Europe. In “The map of the Spread of the Bubonic Plague” {document 3} it states “the bubonic plague spread throughout the Mongol empire on the silk road.” Therefore this supports spreading
The Mongolians at the Asian Steppe had a positive impact on the world during their rule of the Asian continent from 1260 to 1368 by influencing military advantages, trade and artists.
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
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.
