Genghis Khan book outline
1. Genghis Khan brought forth the great Mongol empire from groups of steppe nomads in
Mongolia in CE because he wanted to ensure that his family would not get attacked by outsiders again. 2. The question is what role did Genghis Khan play in the shaping of the modern world. In this book we are trying to figure out how big Genghis Khan's part was. The author asks was Genghis khan the horrible conqueror we thought he was or was he just an advanced leader that pushed us to where we are today.
3. The historian approaches this problem through the eyes of The Great Khan himself to better explain what he was truly doing. The author uses evidence from the sacred text of the Mongols history and Genghis's sacred homeland to decipher this mystery. He uses evidence to back up his claims, which he does very well.
4. The author asks how big was Genghis Khan's part in the shaping of the modern world. He approaches the problem from an economic and political perspective. Economically Genghis
Khan introduced to other regions a new version of the banking system. Politically Genghis Kahn introduced new effective war tactics and the use of gunpowder as a weapon.

5. The author uses race to analyze the problem by showing that Khan effectively brought together many different races under his rule and made them all work together and act as one people. This is a bottom­up approach because Genghis khan treated each race as equals and demanded that all others under his rule to do so as well bringing the different peoples closer together as one.
6. The historians answer is that Genghis Khan played one of the biggest parts in our development in the modern world. He introduced banking systems, a postal service, military organization, military tactics, new and improved trading, and a set of laws that effectively works.
7. I found this argument very convincing because of the authors

    After the rise to power of Genghis Khan in the early 13th century, Mongolian politics were adapted to rule the vast empire they now controlled. At the head of the system was the Great Khan who held absolute power; to ensure this power, Genghis replaced former leaders with loyal military commanders, created army divisions made up of diverse tribal and ethnic groups, and implemented an imperial guard of specialized soldiers…

    The Mongol army went into battle with a brutal well planned tactic with the intent of causing maximum damage, “I’ll trick them and make them come out in the open. I’ll pretend to retreat and when they come out I’ll attack them,” this contributed greatly to the success of the Mongols (Doc: 1). Marco Polo’s biased description the soldiers stuck out from the documents “their arms are bows, iron maces, and in some instances, spears” (Doc: 3). The fact that Polo was sent by the Mongol ruler to administer the realm contributes to this bias. The warriors of the Mongol army were disciplined “their obedience and submissiveness is such that if there be a commander of a hundred thousand between whom and the Khan there is a distance of sunrise and sunset, and if he but commit some fault, the Khan dispatches a single horseman to punish him” (Doc: 4). A document from the perspective of one of the conquered civilizations would be very useful because it would give insight on how events took place.…

    Anonymous monks in Novgorod, Russia recorded the event of a Mongol invasion and the horrors that came with it, writing “They likewise killed the Knyaz and the Knyaginya, and men, women, and children, monks, nuns and priests, some by fire, some by sword, and violated nuns, priests’ wives, good women and girls in the presence of their mothers and sisters… And we, indeed, having seen it, were terrified and wept with sighing day and night over our sins…”. We can probably count this source as reliable because it was written by Monks, and it is in their religion, which by they live their life that they should not lie. In a letter to the Great Khan from Pope Innocent IV, another religious source, he writes “and with a fury still unabated you do not cease from braking the bonds of natural ties, sparing neither sex nor age, you rage against all indiscriminately with the sword of chastisement.”. His tone is almost accusatory, but there is fear and disbelief at what the Great Khan has done. We cannot mark this source as reliable, however, because in his letter he writes “according to what we have heard”, and therefore has not witnessed anything he is accusing the Khan…

    Many would venture to say it is undeniable that Presidential campaigns and elections is something that is never fun. The amount of money, time, effort, and hard work that goes into everything can make things very demanding. In addition, not knowing if you will be victorious makes things even worse. However, presidential elections can be very jaw-dropping; as is the case with our two candidates currently running against each other. Generally, I would venture to say that no one saw this coming. A presidential race between Trump, and Hilary—two individuals that don’t sit to well with the American People. Furthermore, I believe that it has gotten to a point where if Hilary wins, there will be an uproar; and if trump wins there will be an uproar.…
