Compare And Contrast The American And Mongolian Empires

All empires in history had a high in their history but they all eventually came to their demise. The Ottoman Empire and the Ming Dynasty both had ways they gained, consolidated and maintained their power while they were at their highest point. They had significant leaders that lead to these successful points.

The rise of the Aztec Empire (1150-1521) and Mongol Empire (1206-1368) affected their surrounding regions significantly. Through the invasions by these Empires, the areas they inhabited were conquered and reestablished as their own. The Aztecs and Mongols were similar in many ways including their mutual desire to gain power and land. Although these empires resemble each other in the way they acquired land, they vary in terms of their religion and reasons for engineering advances.

Beginning in the 18th century, many ancient civilizations began to decline including the Ottoman empire and the Qing dynasty. The Ottomans had reached their peak late in the 15th century. The turkic warriors demolished the Byzantine empire and established an Islamic society in much of the Balkans and the Mediterranean. To the east a new Chinese dynasty was emerging in the mid 17th century. The Qing emperors were not of Chinese descent, but were instead a nomadic group called the Manchu that conquered a declining Ming dynasty in 1644. The Manchu adopted many of the Chinese ways and allowed society to continue as it had. Although the decline of the Ottoman and the Qing dynasty had a few key similarities, the conditions of their fall

The early modern era was a time when empires thrived across the globe. The Western Europeans were not the only ones to construct successful empires either. The Russian, Chinese, Mughal, and Ottoman empires added to this phenomenon. Although these empires share many similarities, they also have their differences. During the time, 1450 CE -1750 CE, European empires in the Americas and their Russian, Chinese, Mughal, and Ottoman counterparts are similar in that they all thrived and united diverse peoples and different in that European empires developed something entirely new, an interacting Atlantic World, while the other empires continued older patterns of historical development.

Genghis Khan ambles through the streets of peaceful Karakorum, greeting all his steadfast warriors. Among the Mongols are thousands of Chinese, Russians, Polish, Hungarians, and many more flooding the streets. Ordinarily, all of these people are going somewhere: to the glorious temples, the bustling markets, or to the distinguished Genghis Khan walking through his empire. The Mongol Empire, built with Genghis 's own blood, sweat, and unyielding perseverance, was what he dreamed the world could be, what he believed it would be. Genghis Khan led the Mongols not just to victory but assisted in the development of our world today. Moreover, the Mongols were a civilized nation because of the peaceful reign called Pax Mongolica, Khan 's religious tolerance, and their ingenious

The Mongols were savages not ceasing at any expense to conquer land. The Mongols had distinctive war strategies to corner their enemies, conquer them, and slaughter them. Despite the fact that the Mongols did much damage, they refine the nations they prevailed. Even in a Mongols' personal life there are numerous guidelines that should be obeyed. In spite of the fact that the Mongols may appear to be merciless murderers there is another side them.

When China was invaded by the Mongols in 1276 C.E. I, a Chinese Confucian scholar, was fascinated with the Mongols endeavor to ingratiate themselves into Confucian China. They adopted many of the policies and rituals that Confucianist pursed. The Mongols also demonstrated the five relationships by displaying the capability and power of their ruler compared to the capability and power of a subject. I believe that Genghis Khan and his descendants are not guilty of genocide and crimes against humanity because they pursued to flatter the people who followed Confucianism, adopted many of their traditions, and spread the Confucian philosophy throughout their

The Persian Empire was based upon persuasion and the benefit of everyone versus raw power. King Cyrus had great power over the Persians tribe they were able to defeat the Lydian and take over all their gold mines, trading routes and land. This gave them the ability to build large empires on the new land and eventually others would make replicas of his empires. They provided land to feudal lords, but in return they had to provide them soldiers for the Persian army. Cyrus then built the foundation for a mail service and Darius had organized a communication network throughout the entire empire. Their religion was based on monotheism and they believed on only one god. The prophet Zoroaster taught people that the world was constantly being separated

Rome and China: The Two Empires on the Opposite Ends of Eurasia During the Antiquity, two major powers at the time were the Imperial China and Rome, with Rome in Europe and China in East Asia. Being that both empires were located on the opposite ends of Eurasia, direct interaction between the two powers was incredibly rare, not to mention the fact that there were both physical and political barriers between China and Rome. Despite the distance between them, the two empires had managed to influence each other significantly. While there is evidence of interaction between China and Rome, nearly all instances were indirect. Nevertheless, Classical China and Rome, by expanding and exploring, were able to greatly influence each other indirectly,

In both cases, the empires were successful because the leaders understood the importance of acceptance, religious tolerance, and the ability of the native population to participate in the structural organization of the ruling government. After the fall of

Mongol armies tore through most of the ancient world throughout the 13th century. Pillaging and plundering every nation in their path, the Mongols left an impressive wake of destruction and death. The Mongols shook the world with the impact of their conquests, but not of their influence was negative. Overall the Mongols brought much needed change in politics and commerce to both China and the Middle East.

The Mongol Empire contributed both good and bad impacts to the world. Focusing on the positives of the Mongol Empire Invictus points out how they shaped a thriving economy through increasing trade and their ability to share knowledge with others. Empires typically do not appear as quickly and thrive as well as the Mongol Empire did, but they grew from a few men to a large group of warriors overnight or within eighty years (Invictus). The ruler Chingis Khan made it possible through his unity, military tactics, and personal skills. Chingis Khan developed a new system of fighting that created stability and organization within his army, most foes feared them because of this basic principle (Invictus). In addition, when he noticed a weakness in his plan he immediately captured a group of Chinese men that were siege engineers to

Eight hundred years ago during the 13th century a small central Asian tribe known as the Mongols conquered much of the known world. Mongols were nomadic people known for being barbaric and harsh when expanding their empire. Even though the Mongols were obviously brutes, their expansion of territory, military tactics, and facilitation of commerce proved they were more helpful than harmful.

Today I will be comparing and contrasting two major early empire’s we learned about in Chapter two that are located in Southwest Asia. The three empires include the Persiansand the Assyrians Empires. These empires have many similarities and differences that we will be talking about today.

The Ottoman, Safavid and Mughal empires were very powerful and well respected in their time. Their rise was attributed to their strong military presence, trade and economic gain, religious tolerance and ideology that rulers should be chosen by ability not class or wealth. Their falls were due to indecent economic dealings, religious suppression, surrounding empires, mistreatment of citizens and an unfortunate series of terrible rulers. The rise of the Ottoman Empire was caused by a few factors including location, a strong military, a strong leader and religious tolerance.
