Communication has been around since the beginning of time and has been rapidly changing ever since. Societies rely on their ability to communicate in order to become successful and prosperous. Because of the need for communication within the different societies around the world, advancements have been made throughout history in order to be able to communicate more easily and quickly. The Mongol Empire in eastern Europe and Asia, Germany, and the United States provide definitive representation of the evolution of communication.
As the Mongol empire continued to grow during the 13th and 14th centuries, the necessity for fast communication was in high demand. According to the article, Mongol Empire: Special Features, the Mongol’s territory eventually

The main reason for this was the lack of books. Books were only for those who could afford them such as royalty and religious orders. Books were very expensive because they took a long time to reproduce. The reproduction process of a book consisted of a person making a hand-written copy of the original book. There were often a lot of transcription errors between the copied versions and the original during this process. A young inventor named Johannes Gutenberg recognized this problem and started working and experimenting with printing. These experiments led to the discovery of the printing …show more content…
Since the telegraph was extremely reliable and easy to set up, military officials who were not on the front lines were able to communicate tactics and strategies to those who were. Along with communication on the front lines, the telegraph had a major influence on the relationships between countries. When Germany tried to send Mexico a telegram about a potential war with the U.S, the United States intercepted the message and reacted by joining World War I. By this point, the telegraph’s influence had reached an international level and was even being used for top secret communication between countries at war.
The invention of the telegraph was start of the “telecommunications revolution” ("History of the U.S. Telegraph Industry." EHnet.) where technology significantly increased the efficiency of communication. Major inventions such as the telephone were created from the design of the telegraph. People who lived outside of major cities still had means of communication with the telegraph. Similar to the printing press, the telegraph helped spread information quickly and made the world seen smaller because of instant long-distance
Genghis Khan was the ruler of the Mongolian Empire from 1206 to 1368, he had discovered many new inventions that impacted the Mongols. Was this impact good or bad? The Mongolians of the Asian Steppe had a positive impact on the world during their rule of the Asian continent from 1206 to 1368 by influencing exploration, trade, and written language. Because of these inventions, our world has been impacted by the rule of Genghis Khan and his following grandsons who ruled after the great leader. Before the Mongol Dynasty ruled, the Tang and Song emperors had let the silk road strive.
The Mongols did not trust the Chinese, so they had foreigners come in to govern the people. They took away the traditional Confucian way of government. In the Middle East, the Mongols took the highest positions, but gave the lower positions to the people showing that there was more trust. The Mongols didn 't disrupt the original government, instead they used it to their advantage. Mongols
Many common items which we take for granted were made during the industrial revolution. These inventions also tell us about what was needed in those times. Telegraphs were more efficient than sending letters, but had to be restricted to a few words and could get very expensive. The telephone resolved those issues. Now you could do something as simple as pick up the phone and dial, and instantly you would be able to share
The processes that made the Market Revolution of 1800-1840 possible were the spread of market relations, the movement of the population towards the West, and the rise of political democracy. The Market Revolution saw innovations in transportation and communication. For example, the telegraph, invented by Samuel F. B. Morse, made instantaneous communication possible. Moreover, the combination of the recently invented steamboats, railroads and telegraph lowered transportation costs, opened new land to settlements, and made it easier for enterprises to sell products. Additionally, the introduction of the railroads stimulated the market for coal, used as fuel, and for iron, used to build rails.
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)
In the late nineteenth century there were many key technological developments the account for the American industrial growth. Technological developments were not the only thing that contributed to the rise of the American industry: raw materials, labor supply, entrepreneurs, federal government, and and an expanding domestic market. Although there were many contributing factors, technological development was one of the principal sources to industrial growth in the late-nineteenth century. In the late 1800’s Cyrus Field created a transatlantic telegraph cable to Europe and in the next ten year Alexander Graham Bell developed the first telephone taking the communication era to new heights.
The Mongols conquered both China and Russia which caused impacts both politically and economically. On the political side, Mongols allowed Russian princes to rule while the Mongols directly ruled China. In both countries, the Mongols helped trade flourish. The Mongols were religiously tolerant in both areas. In Russia, there were a number of independent princes because there was a decentralized monarchy.
Reformation was an important consequence of the printing press however, an even better and more important consequence was Exploration. Exploration was clearly the most important consequence of the invention of the printing press. The explorers of Europe have claimed they were the first ones to discover the “New World.” They traveled far looking for a short route to Africa but came across something else, the Caribbean.
This displays the Mongol characteristic of adaptation and acceptance towards new cultures and ideas, implementing diversity. When the Mongols conquered most of Asia, including China and Persia, they also gained control of the continental caravan routes, which were essential to their lucrative commerce(Document J). It is a misconception that the Mongols, a successful empire that excelled in it varied commerce and trade, was barbaric due to the mature level of tolerance required for peaceful public
Obvious negative effects of the invasions were immediately evident such as death counts and destroyed property. But slowly peace was restored as the Mongol rule spread to much of the known world. Needed changes began occurring such as the Silk Road was reopened by the Mongols. The Mongols introduced gunpowder and the importance of written language. They contributed considerable to the commerce of both China and the Middle East as they once again began trading and exporting their goods and
The reason for this is because the Mongols were taking over the land of all the people unexpectedly. They were looting and pillaging anywhere that they could and they didn't care who they ended up hurting. When they went into battle the Mongol army would also rape the women that they found in the certain villages that they went to. Even with all this happening they still managed to do certain things that are
The Mongols were easily one of the most dangerous and powerful empires in the 13th and 14th century. The Mongols were known for conquering most of the eastern empires of that time. Some may argue that the Mongols spread their culture and blended it with cultures across the eastern empires. The mongols did not desire to blend their culture and ideals with other empires but desired power and wealth and only what would benefit their own empire. The Mongols would take citizens from empires they conquered and recruit them into their army, make them slaves or require the citizens to pay tribute.
The Mongol Empire had created a single economic and cultural world system. In 13 century, the the Mongols had seized nearly the whole Eastern Europe, including now Russia, Ukraine, Romania, Bulgaria and Hungary. Scholars regard the Mongol conquest as one of the most deadliest invasions in human history. The Mongols also called the Tatars, which means Hell in Roman. Historian Brian Landers stated in his book that "The Mongols brought terror to Europe on a scale not seen again until the twentieth century."
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 Printing press made its first debut in the 15th century, which helped spread ideas throughout European cities. Print culture during the enlightenment used text and visual communication to spread word about the movement to the English colonies. The rise of literacy increased within British American colonies. Literacy was regular for most men than women. Books, pamphlets, and newspapers were published and distributed.
