    Although Mongolian rule fell long ago, its influence can still be seen today. In Russia and China, the Mongol era brought a change in political power. The Khans, or “Great Leaders”, ruled both places, although not equally. China was directly ruled by the Mongols, seeing that China hosted them in the Yuan province, while Russia was given a sense of self rule. The Mongols still claimed taxes and sought goods from Russia, but did not actually occupy it as they did in China. The lack of occupancy in Russia eventually led to the downfall of the Mongol rule there seeing that there was no opposing force to govern them, thus putting power back to the Russians, and creating what we know Russia as today.…

    Environmental differences affected social, political, and economic institutions in the Delhi Sultanate, the Swahili city-states, and Mali. Many of these differences helped the civilizations, but some affected them badly. Mali had abundant rainfall and a very tropic climate which helped with the fertile soil in the area for farming. Although there was also high mountain ranges and plateaus that had cooler weather and shorter growing seasons. Malians adapted to this tropic climate by using their positive environmental factors to outweigh their negatives. Although the mountainous regions took space from farming areas, there was abundant wild food and fish that helped the Malian civilization develop without farming, agriculture, or herding. The Malians, instead of inhabiting another region, stayed and used their advantages of the environment to prosper.…

    From 1180 to 1220, Mongolia experienced ad drop in temperature. This meant that the growing season would be cut short, and it would become difficult for the Mongols’ animals to survive. Without animals, the Mongol society could not survive either. This decreased the trade from North and Northwest. The Mongols needed to obtain goods, but without this, Mongols initiated attack and invasion against the two dynasties. Organization was the key to Mongols’ armies. They had 10 squadrons; the ten of them formed a Quran of 1,000 men. The Mongols applied these techniques with greater force. This would prove useful in overpowering the great Chinese cities years ahead. They received tribute and trade because they had control of the trade routes.

In 1189 to 1243, Yelu Qucai demonstrated how much wealth the region could produce. The Mongols kept this system in place. As this was kept up, everything and everyone remained in their positions.…

    Cultural advancements allowed the people living in the harsher climates of the Andes of South America or the steppes of northern China to connect to other civilizations. The most prominent example of this is the rise of the Mongol empire in the 13th century. The cultural advancement that allowed the pastoral society to conquer almost all of Eurasia was their finely-honed skill of horseback riding and mounted warfare, which was “central to their conquest” (469). The Mongols were able to break out of the cold, harsh region…
