These two powerhouses share no cultural uniformity. Europe’s ignorance of the Mongols productions was quite prominent at the time, so why did the multipolar world systems work for Europe and the Mongol Empire during the 13th and early-14th century? Europe and the Mongol Empire were still politically and economically developing. At that time, both do…

In conclusion, the Mongols were considered barbaric. They had high murder tolls, participated in the destruction of villages, and in the destruction of marriages. They believed in taking control of everything, and killing the people who didn’t follow what they did and believed in. They could have been called a Communist government, but really there was no need for a government for people who killed for world…
The Mongol people started out as nomads roaming the land for food then developed into a great empire. Document 1 shows that the Mongol people had great amounts of land even well after their civilization had gone from their nomadic lifestyle and also that they were very powerful. The map shown in document one was gathered from various sources so the creditability is higher since it was from multiple people. The Mongols gained much of their land from conjuring other empires; they occupied most of Asia including China and Central Asia. The Mongols first wanted to expand or more importantly Temujin wanted to expand for protection from other clans. Later though the Mongols wanted to expand for another reason, power. They conquered Persia, Russia and much of China and wanted to conquer more showing that they wanted power over all of Europe and the Middle East. as they have tried to conquer parts before but their rulers had died sending the armies back to the capital.

A picture of a Mongol horse-mounted bowman demonstrates how skilled these soldiers were in their combat. We can assume the artist admires the Mongols method of fighting by their interpretation of a skilled archer turning a full 180 degrees to shoot an arrow, all while riding a horse. If the time period of Mongol conquest matches closely to the time the painting was done, we can mark this source as reliable. Marco Polo recorded in 1298 about his travels eight years before when first handedly seeing the Mongols army. “They are brave in battle, almost to desperation, setting little value upon their lives, and exposing themselves without hesitation to all manner of danger… No people on earth can surpass them in fortitude under difficulties, nor show greater patience under wants of every kind. They are most obedient to their chiefs, and are maintained at small expense.”. Though this is an eyewitness account, we are forced to question on its reliability since it wasn’t written down until eight years later. This document is unbiased because it was observed and written by a person who was neither Mongol nor a Mongol enemy. A biased record of admiration is present in the document written by Juvaini, a high ranked official of the Mongol who shortly after writing this document was appointed as the governor of Baghdad. He states, “For they have divided all the people into companies of ten,…

Document 4 tells about the Mongol attack on the city of Nishapur. They tried to use everything they had to protect themselves against the Mongols, but they were no match for their vicious ways. By nightfall the city was full of the Mongols, and they were commanded that not even a cat or dog should be left alive. They would sever the heads from bodies and place them all in giant piles according to gender (Doc 4). This shows how ruthless the orders given and soldiers were of the Mongolian army, and how barbaric their thoughts and actions were. The Mongols made sure that after they conquered, no history of them would be just satisfactory (Doc 6). The Mongols also made sure that none of their leaders were short of anything important or any important news. The messengers would ride as much as 250 miles in one day just to make sure the leaders had all the news they needed to know (Doc 8). No messenger would dare to face the wrath of a Mongol who believed he was not aware of everything of importance.…

In modern Mongolia, Genghis Khan is regarded as the father of the nation for his role in uniting the Mongol confederations and therefore providing a common identity to what had previously been a territory of nomadic tribes sharing only a language and culture. Equally well regarded are his contributions in directing the effort to create a writing system for the Mongolian language, which had not previously had one, based on existing Uighur script.
