The Mongol Empire appeared in Central Asia through the 13th and 14th centuries as the biggest land empire in history. A consequence of the union of Mongol and Turkic tribes, the empire took form under the control of the legendary Genghis Khan, also known as Great Khan, which means emperor. All through his period, Genghis Khan started a series of invasions called as the Mongol invasions, frequently accompanied by the major-scale slaughter of civilian populations. This led in the conquest of the majority of Eurasia. By the end of Genghis Khan's life, the Mongol Empire occupied a considerable segment of Central Asia and China. The empire began to divide as a consequence of battles between succession heirs, especially regarding Kublai Khan and Ariq Boke.
2. Why did they conquest? (Reasons of conquest)
The most asked question about the mongel conquests is why did the Mongols move out of Mongolia in the 13th century and start the conquests of the whole world, which made it the biggest contagious land empire in the history of the world? There have been many suggestions about the reasons for the Mongol eruptions from Mongolia, and although there isn’t a specific reason, there are three main pointed out causes: ecology, trade disruptions and figure of Chinggis (Genghis) Khan.
Ecology
Between the year 1180-1220, Mongolia went through a drop in the average yearly temperature, which means that the increasing phase for grass was lessened. Less grass meant a real danger to the Mongols' animals, and, since the animals were truley the basis of the Mongols' pastoral-nomadic life, and this ecological threat might have prompted them to move out of Mongolia.
Trade Disruptions:
Another reason that is often stated is the effort by Mongolia's...

...f China, Mongolia, Korea, and Tibet. The second part was Central Asia. And from 1269 on, there would be disagreement between these two parts of the Mongol regions. The third part in West Asia was known as the Ilkhanids. The Ilkhanids had been made as a consequence of the military exploit of Khubilai Khan's brother Hulegu, who had ultimately ruined the Abbasid Dynasty in West Asia by inhabiting Baghdad, the capital city of the Abbasids, in the year 1258.
And the fourth part was the "Golden Horde" in Russia, which would resist the Ilkhanids of Persia/West Asia in a clash concerning trade routes and grazing rights in the regions of modern Azerbaijan.
However, in spite of all these splits inside the Mongol empire and the a range of sections of its regions, the reign of the Mongols would still aid to usher in the early stages of what could be called a "global" history.
Mongol rule between nations both varied and shared many similarities. Both China and Russia were incorporated into the ever expanding Mongol empire. The massive expanses of land each civilization contained would help to increase the power the Mongols had. This would also help them to control more of Eurasia. Many people were killed during the brutal wars the Mongols started to try and conquer land. They were power hungry and destroyed everything that got in the way of their conquests. The Mongols never assimilated into neither Chinese nor Russian culture. This led to rebellions against the Mongols in both Chinese and Russian areas.
The Mongol empire was the largest land empire the world has ever seen. First began as a nomadic group of tribes. Mongols were united and emerged into an empire that conquered lands stretching from Europe to Central Asia under the rule of Genghis Khan. The Mongol empire was able to succeed in expanding, and conquering was due to their ability to adapt to any living conditions, their sheer brutality force, and their strong military organization. To begin, one factor that supported the Mongols in their conquests was their capacity for foraging, allowing them to survive under harsh living conditions.
The weather turned these nomads into very tough, rugged people as well. Having to deal with such cold temperatures most times of the year would turn anyone into a very stalwart person. The constantly changing storms also helped to mold the Mongolian nomads into very stout people. The heavy snows and ice on the steppe made these people into the unyielding warriors we imagine when reading about the Mongols. Drought ...
Throughout ancient years, there have been many empires that have impacted culture, politics, religion, and people. The Mongol empire and the Roman empire both had their ways of growing their empires, administering their empires, having successes and failures, and legacies. As the empires began to take shape, expand, and become more complex, they will important in the lives of people.
Mongol rule over the Great Khanate in China (1271-1368) and the Golden Horde in Russia (1240-1502) affected both the political and economic aspects of the original empires. Politically, the Mongols enforced their own, new government in order to fit their attitudes toward the conquered people. Economically, actions taken by the Mongol elite were performed with the goal of producing a profit with the help of the resources and people already in the conquered region. The significant political and economic changes brought by Mongol rule to the Great Khanate and the Golden Horde differed, ultimately determining the success of each.
Many nomadic tribes were uneducated and illiterate, much like the Mongols, because the Mongols were so uneducated this made it harder for them to navigate along the oversea trade routes of Europe. The Mongols were a nomadic group known for their skills of horse riding and their ability and skill to shoot a crossbow over amazing distances. Since the Mongols were so great by horse back, the trade in Europe went from to the majority of people trading by land.
The Mongols affected the continent of Asia in many ways as they conquered it. The Mongol Empire lasted a little over 100 years. The Mongols were known to be brutal in warfare, but tolerant in peace, which allowed many changes to take place during their rule. 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 reducing crime, promoting trade, and encouraging the spread of cultures.
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
The Mongols were a group of nomadic people who were known for not only their ferocity in battle but also their tolerance of other cultures. Over the course of their many empires, the Mongols conquered lands from as far as the Korean peninsula to the Islamic civilizations of the Middle East. The movement of the Mongol people into these areas was met with mixed opinions, as members of some societies respected the braveness of the Mongols while others saw them as destructive. According to Ala-ad-Din Ata-Malik Juvaini, 15th century Korean scholars, and Rashid al-Din, the Mongols were a group of tolerant people who attempted to eradicate injustice and corruptness (1,3,4). However, members of other societies viewed the Mongols as coldhearted and merciless because of the damage they dealt in the conquest of Russian cities and the taxes they forced upon their conquered societies (1,2). Nonetheless, some scholars and historians recognized the Mongols power and braveness, but were indifferent with their views of the Mongol civilization.
In conclusion, During the Mongols had a positive impact on the world because they introduced the freedom and spread of religion, the peaceful period, and the influence of the pony
The Mongols, a nomadic society in the 13th century, were quickly able to conquer a vast amount of land in Eurasia. The Mongols were able to accomplish expanding their empire so widely and so fast because they had many military tactics, and their army was extremely well trained. These both got them a leg up on their enemies. The Mongols were incredibly ruthless at times in battle and used interrogation tactics to gain intel. Plus, their soldiers were trained from a very young age and always prepared.
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
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.
The Mongols were a group of barbarians led by Genghis Khan. They were ruthless and destroyed everything in their path, but they also led to many positive things in the world. 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 laws, uniting China, and spreading messages and inventions. Many people liked the Mongols despite their destructive ways.
This story can be summarized by dividing the story into three major sections that represent a genealogy of the Genghis Khan ancestors, the lifestyle of Genghis Khan and the story of Genghis son and Ogodei his successor. This piece of early time’s literature was translated and edited by Jack Weatherford and it was not released until 16th February, 2010. The piece of work restores early history’s most prominent figures to the positions they rightfully deserves. It clears the picture of the nomadic lifestyle of the Mongols and it is rich with information regarding the society of the Mongols in the 12th and the 13th centuries” (Kahn, 2005).
