Why Did England And Russia Have A Centralized Government
From the 14th century to the 15 century, the nations that exist today were just starting to develop. With everyone wanting power, it was a struggle trying to get land and a nation with a centralized government. Russia and England both fought their way to success by fighting and uniting their people. At the same time, they also both used different methods. While Russia and England both used force and military to have a centralized government, they also both used a different approach to gaining power.

    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.…

    During 13th century, the Mongols ruled both China, and Russia. The Mongols had similar and different political and economic effects on these regions. For example, the Khans chose a Russian ruler to take the position as Grand Prince and gave them the authority over other rulers. In contrast, the Mongols gave native Chinese no power within their government, but in fact they brought in Arabs, Europeans, and Persians to help them rule. In addition, during the Yuan Dynasty circa 1279, Kublai Khan insinuated himself into Chinese society by establishing an economic and political system that was familiar to the Chinese such as Confucianism. While in Russia entirely new governmental and economic systems were put into place and Russia became a feudal state.

    When the Mongolian armies of the Golden Horde started to move west, by the 13th century, Kiev was in a period of decline and Russia was divided into small kingdoms. These Russian kingdoms were unable to unite and create a large army before the Mongols came to attack and conquer their land. Batu, Chinggis Khan’s grandson, invaded in 1236 and defeated Russian armies (after being taken over, the Russians became vassals of the Khan of the Golden Horde). Also the Mongols were mostly negative, Mongol occupation was important to Russia. This is shown through the influence of military and political organization. But most importantly, the Mongols isolated Russia from developments in western European civilization; like the Renaissance and the…

    The Mongols in Russia attacked Moscow and set fires to it and killed many people after they came with cannons and wall breaching devices. This helped Moscow the most because over time the city was gradually rebuilt and its princes slowly swallowed up nearby towns and surrounding villages. After 1328, Moscow profited from its status through being the tribute/tax collector for the Mongols that controlled them. Though in China, the Mongols attacked and slaughtered people and after they entered and had control they were able to control their government. Due to the fact that Russia is so spread out, they were able to rule themselves because the Mongols never truly enforced their rule to all people in Russia and because of this, they were not able to punish the citizens as much as they were able to in…

    In China and Russia, the Mongol era brought a great change in political power. The Khans, or “Great Leaders” ruled both places and destroyed cities and killed government officials. This was not just an example of the Mongols ruthlessness but it was a form of tactics that brought fear into the opposing people so they would never revolt. Also, in China, the Mongols moved the capital of China to Beijing so that would become the center of commerce. In Russia, the Mongols created a form of government by making a relationship between politics and the Orthodox Church, putting political power in the church as the Russian state starts to split. Though they caused Russia to suddenly split, the Mongolian Empire caused China to reunite under a common goal- to overtake the Mongols.…
