    Mongolia was the largest contiguous land empire in human history. It existed in the 13th and 14th centuries, however its traditions and influences can be found all throughout the world today.

This paramount empire connected the east and west using Pax Mongolica which allowed trade all throughout Eurasia. However, the Mongolian Empire’s importance did not die with the fall of the Empire in 1368, but the vital influences remain significant even today.

  • Genghis Khan and the making of the Modern World

    1542 Words  | 4 Pages

    When the word “Mongol” is said I automatically think negative thoughts about uncultured, barbaric people who are horribly cruel and violent. That is only because I have only heard the word used to describe such a person. I have never really registered any initial information I have been taught about the subject pass the point of needing and having to know it. I felt quite incompetent on the subject and once I was given an assignment on the book, Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern Age, I was very perplexed for two reasons. One I have to read an outside book for a class that already requires a substantial amount of time reading the text, and secondly I have to write a research paper in History. I got over it and read the book, which surprisingly enough interested me a great deal and allow me to see the Moguls for more than just a barbaric group of Neanderthals, but rather a group of purpose driven warriors with a common goal of unity and progression. Jack Weatherford’s work has given me insight on and swayed my opinion of the Mongols.

    Weather conditions have a major impact since 80 percent of Germany’s land is for agriculture and forestry.

The northern regions experience a bit more warmth than the Alpine regions of the South. The summer temperature in the coastal regions of the north averages around 66°F ("MyGermanCity").

  • Mongolian Management

    1388 Words  | 3 Pages

    The Mongolian Empire quickly conquered monumental sums of land in only a relatively small amount of time, but their serious challenge was figuring out a way to govern and maintain the newly acquired land. Genghis Khan united the Mongols and with their superior military skills, they toppled the governments of surrounding nations and captured their lands. The Mongols who occupied each subjected nation ruled the people and installed different government systems that fit their liking. The Golden Horde, those who conquered the land of modern-day Russia, decided to tax their subjects and refuse to coexist with them. The Mongols in Persia created the Ilkhanate of Persia, where the nomads assimilated into Persian cultures and societies and ruled by a khan, or leader. Those in China during the Yuan Dynasty did away with the civil examinations and decided to promote individuals to rule the lands so that the nomads did not have to handle politics. These three different types of relationships and ways of installing government rule are the Mongols’ response to the needs of their newly claimed lands.

  • The Mongol Empire

    941 Words  | 2 Pages

    How and why did the Mongol Empire rise to power? One of historian’s prevalent hypothesis is that of environmental and climate change. In the thirteenth century, temperatures in the Steppe region and in the Russian plains dropped, crops failed, and masses of people were hungry. Under those circumstances, people were driven out of the steppes which were their comfortable homeland, and became nomadic in search of food. They sought with passion to become dominant over and exploit sedentary people (Fernandez-Armesto, 2011, p. 340).

    the way, and shows the way." By examining this statement one would conclude that the old world has had a large quantity of great leaders. Alexander the Great, Marc Antony and even Julius Caesar, all of whom met with their own struggles on their rise to power. Perhaps among these brave, victorious emperors the most notable ruler of all was in fact the honourable Genghis Khan. Around the year 1162 a son was born to the respectable Yesügei (a Mongolian tribal leader) and his wife, Oulen in what is known as today's border between Mongolia and Siberia. His name was Temujin, but most people recognize him as the infamous Genghis Khan. After experiencing a rough childhood, an arrangement six years in the making finally occurred when Temujin was a young 16 year old boy; marrying his first wife, Börte. Several years down the line, after raising four sons and an unknown number of daughters Temujin, in the year 1206, was named Genghis Khan, a title many only could dream of receiving. Throughout his successful reign the Great Khan united the Mongolian people, this is mainly due to his religious tolerance. After a long life as one of the world's most well-liked rulers, Temujin unfortunately died on August 18th of 1227. By examining Temujin's struggle for power, which began at a young age, his political and military achievements, and last but not least, his conquests, one could recognize why Genghis Khan truly is one of the greatest rulers to have walked the earth.
