Positive And Negative Effects Of Mongol Conquest On Eurasia

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

Chinggis Khan unified the mongols, and he started to pay attention to the parts of central Asia and the societies that settled around there. They attacked Turkish people that ruled Tibet, Northern China, Persia, and Central Asia. Chinggis extended the mongol rule to Northern China, since 1127 C.E, but the conquest began in 1211 C.E. In 1215 they captured Jurchen and in 1220 the mongols had control over China. Khubilai extended the mongol rule to all of china and in 1279 Chinggis proclaimed himself ruler. The Mongols in Persia conquered the area by having one half on the army in northern China while the other half was sent to Afghanistan and Persia. Shah did not like Chinggis and ordered to murder him, but failed. The next year Chinggis gathered his army for revenge. He chased Khwarazm Shah to the island in the Caspian Sea, where he died. They shattered Shah’s army and they took control. The second difference between the two is the restrictions to the non-Mongol. The non-Mongols in China were not able to learn the mongolian language. The non-Mongols in Persia did not have restrictions. The last difference is the result of Mongols in the area. In Persia the result of the Mongols was that they were able to trade. The result of the Mongols in China is also trade, but they also mixed culture, so the Mongols became a part of

The Mongols were a fierce people highly capable and unafraid of using violence to accomplish their goals. However, they were highly organized and advanced in their fighting capabilities and after the conquest was complete they practiced tolerance. This is similar to other persons or groups in history such as Alexander the Great, the Romans, and the Muslims, who all practiced tolerance and had highly capable military powers who used advanced tactics. The era of the Mongols has important value in history. During Pax Mongolica the world saw an increase in trade and peace accompanied by a decrease in crime. This could not have occured in the Mongols were

First, in political aspects, some said the mongols have a negative impact on Europe , as they changed the political history of Europe, especially of Russia, because of their ruling in conquered countries. Genghis Khan used the psychological warfare, the terror tactics, to deal with the resistance: surrender or die. The Mongols usual policy was slaughtered and depopulated the entire cities that resisted, and

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 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. This does not sound like the blending of cultures but the complete and utter enslavement of a group of people. The Mongols did not make attempts at furthering cultural advances, they had no interest in the

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.

During the 1200s, a group of nomadic invaders from the Mongolian steppe created one of the largest known land empires ever to exist throughout world history. These attackers were known as the Mongols and are generally considered to have been a highly barbaric and ruthless group of people. However, the actions of Mongolian forces during this time should be remembered for their positive contributions to Eurasian development, rather than the brutality they used, because they promoted a plethora of trade and communication as well as an exchange of goods and services across their territory. In addition, the Mongols culturally linked the European world with the Asian world, facilitating an interchange of products, people, technology, and information.

The Mongols were nomadic people who lived off of meat, horse hide, and milk. Genghis Khan’s leadership was the awakening of the Mongol success. Under the guidance of the Great Khan, the Mongol empire thrived and expanded. After the death of Genghis Khan, his descendents had kept the Mongol reputation standing. The Mongol impact on the 13th and 14th century world affected many people and civilization which helped prove that they were not the savage and evil barbarians that people thought they were; but instead the Mongols were the reason that the Mongol empire thrived as seen through their culture, battle, and travelers.

The Mongol empire accomplished the great feat of being the largest empire ever created. To put in into better perspective, it was larger than Alexander the Great and Tamerlane’s empires combined (Document 1)! However, the Mongols are also known for being brutal, killing more than 5 million people (Document 4). Several important laws and neighborly customs observed in today's society were first introduced by the visionary Mongols. It seems effortless to group the Mongols in the simple category of "blood-thirsty barbarians," but their accomplishments cannot go unacknowledged and

The Mongol empire was the largest empire in history. It was founded by the great Genghis Khan who took over the empire and brought it to its heights of being the strongest, most fearsome, largest, and the most powerful empire in all of Southeast Asia. The Mongol empire changed the world as we know it today. Genghis Khan was the reason why the Mongol empire was so great. The Mongols opened the door for the trade, taking over new nations while having an impact on history as we know it today. The Mongol empire had a population of at least 100 million people, which is an outrageous amount of people for one empire. Genghis Khan original name was Temüjin. Born in Mongolia in 1162, Temüjin was born in a harsh environment. His father died and he was

“Taking Control” by Timothy May highlights how Mongolian civilization relied heavily on effectively organizing and managing conquered territories. Mongols never denied the fact that their civilization was small compared to others before the invasions that were conquered by the Mongols under Genghis Khan. By taking in artesians,

The Mongol conquest started in early thirteenth century and ended early 1400s, encompassing most of Asia during these period. Another significant invasion that involved the European and the Americas occurred starting in 1450. Both the nomadic and European expansion immensely impacted their subject population by bringing destruction through diseases. Although the Mongols did not attempt to spread a faith, the Europeans were in search of new Christian converts. While the Europeans’ purpose was to look for direct contact with Asian trade routes, their introduction of the Americas to Afro-Eurasia led to a greater phenomenon, globalization.

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.

The regions of the Middle East and China experienced many shortcomings and lost much in the areas of stability, security, and influence. The culture and society of Asia was moreover sewn together by the Mongols’ conquest and with this new empire and the nations which were under its reign were subject its many failing and critical flaws (Abu-Lughod 207). While much infamy and fear surrounded this vast Asian empire, its rule for time it had existed provided stability and set up routes towards other regions of the world, enabling the flow of international commerce. The lasting societal effects of the Mongol empire however, meant as the reign of the Mongol empire waned and dwindled, Asia in its entirety had become isolated and cut off from the much needed commerce and capital it needed to remain as capable competitor in international markets. The society of China suffered especially, having relied on the Mongol empire’s stability as its position as practically a protectorate, this massive nation’s position, influence, and wealth plummeted (Abu-Lughod 211). The stability of the society of the Middle East was affected by several aspects which made trade and commerce less viable, where Islam allowed much in the way of progress in the thirteenth and fourteenth
