The Mongol empire and Alexander The Great’s empire were two of the most interesting and powerful empires of all time. Yet, even with many similarities there are many differences as well between these two great empires. The Mongol empire began during the 13th and 14th centuries in which it was the largest land empire in all of world history. It was located beginning in the Central Asia and eventually spread all the way to Central Europe. Alexander The Great’s empire, Macedonia, was a Greek empire located in Central Greece. Both of these giant civilizations became the biggest empires the world has ever seen. The Mongol Empire was a very powerful which conquered more land in two years than the Romans did in 400 years. Also, they controlled more than eleven million square miles. The Mongols were very important because they created nations like Russia and Korea, smashed the feudal system and created international law, and created the first free trade zone. In the beginning of the Mongol Empire, they mostly lived in foothills bordering the Siberian forests mixing heroing and hunting. They also became really good at archery and riding horses. The main reason the Mongols came to be so powerful was all because of a man named Genghis Kahn. Genghis was born around 1162 with the name Temujin. Due to the death of his father, Temujin was left under the control of his older brothers. Soon enough, he was married to a woman named Borte. Borte was later kidnapped, in which Temujin proved his military skills when saving her. Not to long after this, Temujin became the leader of his tribe. Yet, to unite the Mongol confederations it required a civil war, which Temijun ended up winning. After proving his skills and loyalty, Temijun was declared the Gr... ... middle of paper ... ...erfect as they seemed and Genghis and Alex both couldn’t hold together empires very well. As far as differences, Alexander the Great’s empire started in Greece and conquered mostly Europe while Genghis Kahn’s empire started in Asia and spread throughout Asia and Europe. After death, Genghis Kahn had grandchildren who took over his legacy where as Alexander didn’t. In general, the Mongols conquered more land then the Greeks making them a bit more powerful and more influential. As you can see, these two empires were some of the greatest the world has ever seen. They also had two of the greatest leaders in world history that are known around the globe. With very little differences between the two, the empires were similar in many ways, which is very interesting and incredible that two different empires starting in different places and time periods could be so alike.
The Aztec and Mongol empires were large, expansive realms that shared many similarities in their rise to power, but also had some differences. The Aztec and Mongol Empire's rise to power were similar politically in that they both conquered neighboring nations, similar socially in that their social structures both emphasized warriors, but were different economically in that the Aztecs relied on tributes from conquered lands to fund their expansion whereas the Mongols destroyed lands they conquered to prevent challenges to their power.
Both the glorious empires, the Mali established in 1230 by the founder Sundiata and Mongol founded by Genghis Khan in 1206 contain much more differences than similarities. When the rise of the Mali and Mongol Empires began to arise they had significant effects towards the areas in which they were located. Some similarities include religious tolerance and cultural growth by trade. Some differences include violence methods and religion. Even though both of these superlative empires arose in difference regions they shared some common views as well.
Throughout human civilization, empires have risen and fell, ruling over different people in different land. Of those various empires, the Mongol and the Greece empire are some of the most important empire that ever existed. Both empires have their unique characteristics; nevertheless, the effect both has on modern society is still great.
The Mongols had the Yuan Empire in China, the Jagadai in Central Asia, the Golden Horde in Russia, and the Il-khan Empire in Iran. Without definite successors, these empires were divided among the many heirs. A stark difference between these two political entities is how these governments fell. The Mongol Empires split as the heirs of Genghis Khan fought over whom should rule and ultimately fell after years of ruling many peoples and being at the maximum size it could rule.
The Mongols were a group of nomadic people who throughout history invaded, conquered, and dominated multiple civilizations. China and Russia are an example of these dominated civilizations that were conquered in the early 13th century. These two dominations of different regions brought about many political and economic changes but the styles of influence varied from each other as the Mongols had direct control over the Chinese but allowed local princes to govern Russia as long as they behaved and paid tribute. Also, both Russia and China were allowed to practice their own religion. On the contrary, there were some similar economic influences caused by the Mongols on both Postclassical civilizations such as the economy improving with trading routes.
The Mongol empire is one of the historical empires that rose in 1130. The empire was located between Danube river and the Pacific Ocean. The empire emerged after victories from several wars with their neighbors. The empire established strong dynasty after defeating Jim Empire. It had the army that plays critical role in expanding its territory. Yesugei from Mongol kiyad sub-clan provided leadership skills to defeat their opponent. After conquering the region, Mongol reigns and took full control of the economic activities within its jurisdiction.
The Mongol Empire was well known for their ability to conquer two continents within two centuries, but what isn't as well known was their ability to keep and govern the territory they had conquered.The leader of the Mongol Empire, Genghis Khan, was born in 1162 to a tribe leader. Genghis Khan faced multiple setbacks in his early life, including the death of his father and betrayal from allied tribes. However, Genghis was able to come back and conquer the Eastern and Mongolian Steppes, thus uniting the warring Mongol tribes. Now united as one, the Mongol tribes swept through Asia, conquering China, Russia and the Muslim World. Once conquered, the Mongols used their powerful governmental skills to retain control and create a larger, more successful
Between the early 1200's and the mid 1300's the Mongol Empire, led by Genghis Khan, took control of around 9,300,000 square miles of Eurasia. Genghis Khan first started conquering neighboring clans before setting his sight on the rest of the world. When they would conquer a city, the Mongols would give the city a chance to surrender and if they declined and the Mongols succeeded in conquering them, then all of the citizens would be slaughtered. Under Genghis Khan, the Mongol Empire grew to encompass Central Asia, parts of the Middle East, and east to the borders of the Korean Peninsula. In 1227, Genghis Khan died, which led to the empire being divided into four khanates that would be ruled by his sons and grandsons. Genghis Khan's descendants
They had loved as herders in the grasslands of north China. They also raided and fought with other tribes. Khan managed to unite the Mongols tribes into a powerful fighting force. Under his leadership, the Mongols began to campaign of conquest that would create the largest empire the world ever had known. Genghis first turned his army south, toward China. He had taken a large portion of northern China after a several years of fighting. The Mongols took the rest of China, all of Russia, and most of southeast Asia. Because the Mongols were nomads, they had no real experience this governing. They could also be flexible. They allowed conquered peoples to maintain their own custom and tradition. They practiced religious tolerance, one of Genghis’s grandsons reported that they said there is one God.Just as God has given different fingers to the palm, se He has given different religion to men. Meanwhile, Mongols started to collapse, they lasted for centuries. The main cause of the collapse was the disease. This disease was bubonic plague, also known as the Black Death. Black Death started China and spread it along the Silk Road. The Black Death brought down the Mongol
The Mongol Empire extended from the Pacific Ocean to Eastern Europe in the 13th and 14th centuries. In 1206, the Temujin Khan led Mongols out from the Mongolian steppes to conquer Eurasia. He developed an elaborate political network to rule his vast empire. Beforehand, he amassed his following by uniting Mongolia’s plethora of clans. And used his military might to sweep across Eurasia. When Genghis Khan died in 1227, his four sons redistributed the territory into four distinct khanates (regions). By 1279, Genghis Khan’s grandson Kublai Khan, the third Great Khan of the Mongol Empire conquered China’s Song Dynasty. In its place, he established the Yuan Dynasty, translating to the origin of the universe. Despite a reputation as the territory
Beginning in 1211, Genghis Khan and his armies fled from Mongolia and swiftly conquered most of Eurasia. The Great Genghis Khan died in 1227, but his sons and grandsons continued the expansion of the Mongol Empire across Central Asia, China, the Middle East, and into Europe. Starting in 1236, Genghis Khan's third son Ogodei decided to conquer as much of Europe as he could and by 1240 the Mongols had control of Russia, Ukraine, Romania, Bulgaria, and Hungary.
Trade and interaction between empires in the early 1200s was limited and extremely dangerous. Asia was mostly made up of small clans and nomadic tribes. These tribes constantly fought and had little communication with the west. There was little unification and interaction. In the 13th century, a Mongol leader named Genghis Khan began to unite the nomadic tribes and clans, thus beginning the short, but great, Mongol Empire. Khan was a ruthless invader who was able to bring together the clans and put together one of the most successful empires in world history. At its height, the Mongol empire spanned from the Pacific Ocean to Baghdad and up to modern day Hungary (Mongol Empire, 1294). Many believe that the Mongols had mostly negative impacts
To start there are their similarities. The biggest similarity of the two is that both empires survived into the 20th century while their other contemporaries did not. Secondly the two empires were alike in their strong armies. Their armies which were made strong most notably by their rulers, the Russian Peter the Great and the Ottoman Suleiman the Magnificent, and a further but related
grew and lasted for about 108 years until they failed by trying to conquer India and were weak the Ming Dynasty overthrew the rulers. The Mongols were not afraid to kill. If one person refuses to do something for them their whole clan will pay, they would leave no survivors. That's what helped make them so successful, many had heard about their gruesome approach and surrendered and accepted submissions. 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 trade, warfare and uniting China.
They also brought the writing system that is still used by many Mongolians. A postal system whose efficiency was not matched influenced numerous areas was built through a vast area of Eurasia . Through the Mongols there was a large trade area that connected the world causing their economy to grow. An environment that allowed numerous religions was built in a time of religious fighting. Due to highly valuing their artisans, a number of arts and theater grew and introduced many advancements in glass and instruments. Due to their knowledge and diverse ideas they caused and explosion of a variety of cultures and ideas by spreading their knowledge. But, because of how much violence and power this empire had gone though they later lost this power as seen today they are small developing country. However, their contributions of ideas, science, culture, art, and trade helped shape our
