...William Marriott AP World History Mongols Essay 3/14/14 In Eurasia during the 12th through 14th centuries the Mongols innovated new methods of expansion; like stirrups and Calvary that allowed them to conquer and rule the sedentary people of Eurasia. They were able to rule their conquered land by dividing it into Khanates (sections) ruled individually by Khans (rulers). Their rule both positively and negatively affected the people they conquered because the Mongols set up trade, which benefitted the conquered, but they also forced the conquered to pay tribute. These factors allowed the Mongols to grow the largest land empire of history that spanned all over Eurasia. The Mongols were in part able to conquer so fast and effectively because of the methods they used to expand. An Italian explorer from Venice, Marco Polo, wrote a report on the Mongols from his trips to China and the Far East during 1274 through 1290. From Marco’s exploration he learned about the extreme expertise of the Mongols and the innovations and ideas they used that revolutionized fighting. Polo learned that the Mongols became experts at shooting their bow from when they were young. (Document #3) Their bow, made from sinew and horn, was capable of shooting 100 yards father than the classic English longbow. When you take into account the Mongols extreme skill at shooting was combined with an innovation of the stirrup (saddle) you can see how the Mongols were able to conquer so efficiently. ...

...Both the Mongols and the Ottoman Turks took long and strenuous journeys to conquer the lands they ruled.The Mongols, in the 13th century, had the largest empire ever built with most of Asia, the Middle East and some of Europe combined. The Ottoman Turks, in the 14th century, had a large empire in the Middle East. Both groups had a motive or need to move out and conquer new lands, some for survival needs and other selfish ones. The two groups also had very different ways of conquering these lands,some terrifying ways and others using highly trained men. These newly conquered empires also had great effects on the neighboring countries.The Mongols and the Ottoman Turks, two very different groups and yet both similar in various ways. It took a multitude of things for the Mongols to need to go and conquer all those lands. In Mongolia the annual temperatures were dropping, which meant less grass for their large herds of animals [Doc.1]. The Mongols lived off of meat and dairy from their animals so this was critical for their survival.They also depended on their...

...The mongolians of the Asian Steppe had a positive impact on the world during their rule if the asian continent from 1206 to 1368 by influencing trade, laws, and an efficient way of transporting news. And, history only shows the bad parts of the mongol conquests, but not the benefits of it. The mongols weren’t the best people, but they weren’t the worst either. One of the biggest things the mongols helped influence was trade between China and Europe. Since the mongols lived a nomadic life and couldn’t carry a lot of necessities when traveling, trade has always been essential to the mongol people. Ghengis Khan realizde this and valued traders above most other people because a lot of what the traders had, the mongols couldn’t get or make on...

...Some elements of the Great Wall of China, built hundreds of years ago, still exist and attract millions of tourists. The question concerning the reasons for the creation such a huge construction still remains unanswered. Nowadays, it is only possible to suggest different theories and presuppositions concerning the creation of the Great Wall, but it is very difficult to give a definite answer to the question of the reasons for its creation. However, specialists (Waldron and Barfield) agree that the construction of the Great Wall of China was particularly intensive during the Ming dynasty and they emphasize that the Wall did not really had its strategic defensive significance but they rather indicate to the foreign relationships of China and Mongols as one of the major factor that defined the policy of the Ming court at the epoch. But the positions of Waldron and Barfield, in spite of seeming similarities, differ consistently since Thomas Barfield rather gives us a model for the long-term trends, history is actually made in real time, by specific persons with specific arguments. Only Arthur Waldron’s detailed picture of the policy paralysis at the Ming court offers a convincing case of why the Great Wall of China was built. Waldron’s view on the reasons for building the Great Wall of China On analyzing the position of Arthur Waldron, his view on the Great Wall of China as a product of the policy of Ming dynasty created in the result of the specific conditions that existed at Ming...

...The Mongols helped bridge a connection between the east and west in numerous ways. They did not only impact Europe, but Asia as well. To add on, they did not only have positive effects, but they had negative effects as too. They set the base for Eurasian history by using commercial, political, and artistic relations among Chinese, Islamic, Russian, and European civilizations. Workers such as craftsmen and missionaries traveled across the continents. In addition, culture, technological, and culinary diffusion took place. Originally, China was a Confucius society but then the Mongols exposed Tibetan Buddhism, which attracted several Ming and Qing dynasties and their people. Economically, during the Mongol era, the increase in commerce greatly benefited merchants and consumers. Agriculture remained the same, but the European demand for Asian products encouraged a way to find a less hazardous and more efficient means of transportation. Politically, the Mongols brought about many power changes and reforms in Russia and China. The Mongols used terror tactics as a form of governing and destroyed cities and forms of government rule. Eventually, the Khans will rule both states. Chinggis Khan, or better known as Ghengis Khan was one of the greatest leaders. He was very successful when it came to conquering because he had brilliant military strategy and organization for that he was famous and known for. He trained each and every troop to specialize in a certain field and he also had...

...The most important effects that the Mongols had on Europe and Asia were increasing the flow of goods and knowledge between the two regions along the Silk Road. One knowledge they give them was gun-making, which traveled from Asia to Europe when the Mongols was still ruling. They wanted to improve their economy and build their empire in peace.They started spreading and developing their empire when they decided not to make or trade anything themselves, but promote "international commerce" by maintaining secure trade networks. They did this because it allowed them to tax goods and get wealth from larger civilizations. This started of a true international economy and brought the two world (Europe and China) into a closer contact than ever before....

...Question: Explain the development and the nature of the Byzantine institutions (church and state), social and urban life, and cultural achievements? Answer: Byzantine art is the term commonly used to describe the artistic products of the Eastern Roman Empire from about the 5th century until the fall of Constantinople in 1453. (The Roman Empire during this period is conventionally known as the Byzantine Empire.) The term can also be used for the art of states which were contemporary with the Byzantine Empire and shared a common culture with it, without actually being part of it, such as Bulgaria, Serbia or Russia, and also Venice, which had close ties to the Byzantine Empire despite being in other respects part of western European culture. It can also be used for the art of peoples of the former Byzantine Empire under the rule of the Ottoman Empire after 1453. In some respects the Byzantine artistic tradition has continued in Greece, Russia and other Eastern Orthodox countries to the present day. The finest work, the most elegant, and the most accomplished technically, was, naturally enough, associated with the Byzantine capital, Constantinople, which was the very hub of the civilized world from the foundation of the city as capital around 330 till its conquest by the Turks in 1453. But there were other great centers too. In Rome, Milan, Ravenna, and elsewhere in the West works of the greatest importance that were in no way provincial were executed in the early years of Christendom...

...Michelle Lin Global History Throughout history, various cultures have blended together to create vast empires. These cultures relied upon each other in mutually beneficial interactions and exchanges. Sometimes, the refusal to accept diversity leads to conflict. Diversity of culture has impacted many of the past’s greatest empires. Among the empires, the Byzantine and the Mongol are perfect examples of diverse culture due to their capabilities of spreading ideas and trade internationally and in exchange for resulting achievements much more beneficial towards them. The Byzantine Empire, although, was deeply influenced by the Roman administration after being the eastern region of the Roman Empire before the split, it also contained Greek elements due to the majority of Greek speaking citizens. The Byzantine Empire served to preserve Roman and Greek culture, allowed the spread of new religion and achievements through cultural diffusion. When the western region of the Roman Empire collapsed in 475, libraries and places of literature were destroyed under the chaos and much of the records kept by the civilization were lost. The eastern half managed to become an independent empire of its own, known today as; The Byzantine Empire. As a result, the Byzantine alone served to preserve the Roman and Greek culture in place of the diminishing western region. Among the preservation saved by Emperor Justinian, the ones that became most significant were the Roman Laws. Justinian then...

...The Mongols The Mongols became successful conquerors due to their military prowess coupled with their excellence in riding and attacking in an extremely brutal manner that terrorized enemies. During the thirteenth century the world was taken by a storm. It changed the entire map of the world. Many nations had to permanently leave their homes to settle in other places. Political boundaries as well as cultural values changed. The three major religions of the world: Islam, Christianity, and Buddhism were also affected along with other changes that came about. For our benefit the Mongols expanded the world where East met the West. Some of the most ferocious leaders of the Mongols were Genghis Khan, Kublai Khan, Hulegu, and Tamerlane. (Nicolle). The life of the Mongols was a constant cycle of seasonal migrations from the flat open summer pastures to protected river valleys for the winter. Each tribe or clan would return to their traditional pastures year after year. (Marshall 16). Today, extended nomadic families live on large collectives of land controlled by the state. Eight hundred years ago, the Mongols lived not on collectives but in loosely defined tribes or clans. They shared the land; took care of their sheep, and horses. Horses were their most prized possessions. Some eight hundred years ago, they lived in tribes or clans. (17). In these modern times the life of Mongol herdsmen still revolves around their sheep and...
