The Mongols are perceived as a savage people who only wanted to surmount the world but in authentically they are not troglodytic. They are a misunderstood culture who have authentically done some commendable things like bringing other cultures and religions together without persecution.
In document A the Mongol imperium is shown at its height. During this time the imperium had surmounted 4,860,000 square miles of land. That is twice the amount of land Alexander the Great had surmounted at 2,180,000 square miles. No other imperium has come to that extreme size since the Mongols. The Mongols had to have great organization skills and adept armies to accomplish this feat. In Document C, Carpini expounds in his view how the Mongols were able to organize their armies. The way it was organized seems rigorous but during that duration military was the backbone of the Mongol civilization. Little to no mistakes could be made or the stability of the imperium would become unstable.
During the Mongol conquests millions of people were killed.

Document N describes the main convivial customs of the Mongols. The Mongols seem to in some venerates give more rights to women than other cultures in that duration. Rashid ad-Din indites in the amassed chronicles ¨When a man goes out hunting or to war, his wife must maintain the household, so that the messenger or guest who dismounts there finds all in order and the wife is able to provide for him with good food and anything else they may require.” The Mongols lived in an environment where extreme sexism could not be abode or the tribes and clans who crumble. Genghis Khan valued his mother because she was the main role model in his life. Because the Mongols predicated their values on Genghis Khan's values they integrated. The Mongols are open minded to others and they can seem sometimes more advanced in their ways of convivial acceptance than other cultures during that
Were the Mongols as heinous as historians make them out to be? The mongols began as a small tribe in Central Asia that expanded their rule tremendously. They established the largest connected empire in all of the world’s history. In this Data Based Question, there is examples of how the Mongols exemplify leadership but mostly savagery.
While the Mongols were relatively tolerant of different religions and cultures, they
by vizmike in November 19, 2013 Despite the fact the Mongols frequently used torture and inhumane battle tactics during war, these definitions shows that the mongols were civilized in the times that they were not in war. If people surrendered or were subdued without resistance the mongols exacted tribute, such as taxes or men for war, but generally left the inhabitants alone because their had more joy to spread. (Chapter 14-15 in world history textbook in the library.) To sum it up the mongols were generally peaceful and prosperous but just like any conquest they had to killed a few to get there such as the roman rule or the Han Dynasty
Besides their murderous characteristics, the Mongols were very successful in expanding their empire with improving trade and having excellent plans. According to Document A, it shows a map and a key on the seven largest empires in the world. The largest empire with a grand total of 4,860,000 square miles of land was the Mongol Empire. This achievement is extremely significant to our knowledge of history. This does not mean that their achievements of killing millions should make us ignore this tremendous achievement.
The Mongols who are they and were they barbaric? The mongols was a small clan until they came to one leadership whom being named genghis Khan. He who lead the mongols to a world of conquering and success. The mongols were barbaric empire. They way they kept soldiers fighting is cruel, they way they killed people from other empires is not necessary, and the way they got married depending on the situation is unfair.
The True Legacy of The Mongols In history, a frequent topic of debate is the legacy that the Mongol Empire left behind. It can easily be argued that they were nothing but murderous barbarians, a monotonous war machine. This is proven by the fact that they used biological warfare at the Siege of Caffa in 1346. The Mongols catapulted disease ridden corpses into the city of Caffa to spread the Black Plague into the city.(Wheelis)
This shows an inconsistency because the Mongols does not like their people to steal from each other yet they stole repeatedly from other people. Despite the Mongols dislike of having their items stolen from, they have no problem with stealing other men's wives. If a women has a husband and a Mongol man wants her, then he can’t have her. But if the Mongolian man wants the woman, he can have her only if he kills the woman’s husband (document 10). Document 10 displays the Mongols law on adultery and how they don’t mind killing someone in order to take what they want.
DBQ: The Mongols: How Barbaric were the “Barbarians”? Throughout history, the term “barbarian” has been used to refer to groups of “uncivilized” people with savage and evil qualities. What it essentially means is foreigners. A specific group of people called “barbaric” are the Mongols, a small tribe from central asian grasslands who during the 13th century, conquered much of the known world.
As the Mongols ravaged the plains of China, they needed to establish a new government to control the newly conquered people. The Mongols were distrustful of the Chinese governments and their Confucius ways, so they kicked the Chinese out of government and replaced them with Mongol rulers. In the Middle East however, the Mongols left the rulers and political system relatively unchanged except for establishing Mongol rulers in the highest positions of law. But Persian authorities still held smaller, less powerful positions. In general, the Mongols were much more relaxed in the governing of the Middle East.
His reign led to many rebellions, which obviously caused many people to lose their lives. If you resisted and your life ended, the lives of your relatives could also be taken to weed out any possible traitors. (Which I found rather brutal.) Also, if one were to be conquered and not killed, enslaved, or imprisoned, they’d be taxed heavily. As stated before, the Mongols were ordered to destroy the farmlands to make room for pasture, which led to the starvation of many people.
At the start of the thirteenth century, the mongols rose to power using various tactics both psychologically and physically , extending their territory far and wide across Afro-Eurasia. While under the leader known as Genghis Khan, the Mongols conquered a vast amount of land uncomparable to the land conquered by Alexander the Great, as they unite the lands under one name. Leaving a mark so large on the cities behind with everlasting consequences that can not be erased. During the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, the mongols impacted the societies of Afro-Eurasia in many different ways. These impacts included making trade routes safer by having mongols patrol the silk roads which made trade safer for merchants/ the shifting of currency to
The Mongols had one of the largest land empires in history though this did not come easily to them. The Mongols had a large influence on both the political and economic systems of Russia and China for a period of time though in Russia, rulers still had control of their land and were left to rule themselves to an extent whereas in china the Mongols affected them more by controlling them
The Mongols Intro The Mongols have made a negative impact to all of us in one way or another. Some ways worse than others. Some of the things Genghis Khan has done may be cruel and wrong, but was what he had to do to be a great leader. The Mongolians ruled from 1260 to 1368 C.E, they were located in Mongolia, in the Northern China area.
The Mongols, a native asian tribe, eight hundred years ago conquered much of the known world. Said tribe originated from the grasslands of central asia and went on to become one of the most successful and most conversed about castes in history. The story of the mongols, however, is one that is quite difficult to tell. The Mongols were an illiterate clan, making it close to impossible to receive a message in full context, much like the telephone game nowadays were a message is spread through many individuals until reaching the final destination. For hundreds of years the Mongols have been a center of debate for many history related discussions, though the common conclusion is yes, the mongols were a barbaric tribe, that’s not really the case, and it’s backed by facts.
Thus, the Mongols were extremely disappointed when their empire collapsed. They fell apart because they had too much land to govern and had no clue how to govern such a vast amount of land. Plus, their strong leaders had passed away, leaving them with no leader, just a mindset that they needed more land. This lead them to be extremely disappointed that they didn't accomplish what they set out to do. However, if they were satisfied with
