The Mongol Empire And The Empire Of The Mongol Empire

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.

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.

1. The Mongols really did reinvigorate cross-Eurasian trade. The Silk Road trading routes that had existed for about 1000 years by the time the Mongols made the scene had fallen into disuse, but the Mongols valued trade because they could tax it, and they did a great job of keeping their empire safe.

Beginning in 1209 and dissolving in 1368, the Mongol Empire is history’s largest contiguous land empire. Temüjin, who later earned the title of Genghis Khan, was known as the overlord of all Mongol dominions and it was his leadership that brought the Mongols out of the plains and into Eurasia, which it conquered with advanced archery skills and military techniques. I believe history should judge the Mongols positively because of their leadership and military successes, the aspects of Mongol society, and the cultural exchange the Mongols facilitated.

Han collapsed because of many reasons but mainly I’ll focus on the plaques and the death of Genghis Khan. When plaques led it’s way to China a lot of people died and it was a disaster. The second reason to the fall of Mongol empire was when Genghis Khan died the empire split into many parts and went their own path. Genghis Khan: He was the founder of Mongol empire which became the largest empire.

Mongols Every society in every age longs for order, beauty, and truth. The Mongols were looking for order every empire had a unique influence on the world, the Mongols Empire is no exception. This time period is best remembered for their accomplishments, the major leaders/players they had during that time period they were also remembered for their lasting legacy of the empire especially with the Silk Road.

The Mongol Empire, an infamous empire in founded in the beginning of the thirteenth century and fell in the mid to late fourteenth century, had an unavoidable influence on Eurasia including both positive effects, such as advancing trade and production of goods in less advanced societies (doc 5) as well as laying a powerful and protective influence on a number of societies (doc 2), and negative effects, being savagely murderous towards those societies in their path (doc 1), destroying important structures and cities of other societies (doc 7), and aggressively demanding a tribute be paid to them from Christian societies and others (doc 9), as well as effects that are considered neither negative nor positive effects, examples being that the

Throughout history, empires have controlled vast expanses of the world. Yet no empire has ever impacted the world's like the Mongols. Spanning from present day Russia to Korea, the Mongol Empire ruled the Eurasian continent. By modern conventions, legacy is the gift or impact someone leaves when they die. Noah Feldman once said, “Empires inevitably fall, and when they do, history judges them for the legacies they leave behind.”

The Mongol Empire existed during the 13th and 14th centuries and was the largest contiguous land empire in history. Starting out in the steppes of Central Asia, the Mongol Empire eventually grew from Central Europe to the Sea of Japan, extending northwards into Siberia, eastwards and southwards into the Indian subcontinent, Indochina, and the Iranian plateau, and westwards as far as the Levant and Arabia. Genghis Khan, who was the ruler of all Mongols in 1206. The empire grew rapidly under his rule and then under his descendants, who sent invasions in every direction. The vast transcontinental empire connected the east with the west with an enforced Pax Mongolica, or Mongol Peace, allowing trade, technologies, commodities, and ideologies to

“I will rule them by fixed laws so that rest and happiness shall prevail in the world,” Genghis Khan. In the 1200s, the Mongol Empire rose and conquered most of China. The Mongol Empire was one of history’s most brutal forces because their dominance was led by a hostile leader, driven by ruthless aggression, and strengthened by an understanding of a correct civilization. The Mongol Empire was feared by many because of its ruthless leaders. The empire was divided into groups led by different khans, but the empire soon turned and was united by a strong leader, Temijin.

Document #6 talks about people adapting to the Mongol Empire and the benefits of the silk industry. The Mongols did a lot for china for example their silk, the people of china liked silk but the problem was that the deliverers kept getting murdered and the silk stolen so the mongols lent a hand and created the Silk Road where people could walk without any thought about thieves or murderers coming for what they have because they feared Genghis Khan. Genghis Khan killed the people that stole or murdered on the silk road and their families, in other words “if you saw something someone dropped nobody touched it said Document

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.

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.

In 1200 a Mongol leader by the name of Temujin rose to power. Under his rule the Mongol Empire flourished and conquered many enemies and occupied a large amount of land. Throughout his reign the Mongols continued to be a major power house.
