the rise and fall of the mongols
-the mongols would fight with each other and therefor they were kept isolated from the rest of the world. until Genghis Khan unified the mongol tribes and sent them on a path to expansion. the empire was split into hordes, or small independant empires. the mongols eventually became assimulated into the cultures of people they defeated.

how the mongols did it
-the mongols were considered ruthless warriors for nothing. they were extremly motivated, Genghis Khan punished traders swiftly and rewarded the couragous generously. they were really,really, good at conquering.

the mongol impact
-the mongols were great diffusers of culture. most mongols became muslim. the chinses werent allowed to mongalized so they eventually kicked the mongols out in 1368 and established the ming dynasty they never lost there traditional chinese pratices. the mongol clan the Golden Horde ruled over Russia and treated i as a vassel state . they werent able to unify with their quickly developing neighbors to the west and found themsleves in a period of backwardness.

-The Rise and Fall of the Mongols.
The Mongols were nomads and great horsemen and archers. They were not unified and were isolated until the early 1200's when Genghis Khan unified the Mongol tribes and led invasions in China and other parts of Asia and Europe. The empire stretched from the Pacific Ocean to eastern Europe and it was divided into hordes, small independent empires.The Golden Horde conquered Russia and Kublai Khan ruled China. The Mongols were ruthless warriors but their empire was peaceful- Pax Mongolica. There was cultural diffusion, exchange of ideas, goods and culture. Since the Mongols didn't have their own culture and traditions, they assimilated into the cultures of the countries they conquered.

-The Mongol Empire was larger than any other empire that had a golden age
-The Mongols only cared about conquering and not much about their culture and religion. They never really had their own culture.
-Mongolians would assimilate with lands that they conquered and thats where they would get their religions
-Even thought the Mongols were extremely ruthless in the end they brought the world together.

-How the Mongole Did It.
The Mongols were ruthless warriors who knew how to fight. Anything and anyone that was in their way would be destroyed. The Mongols were able to put up a fight against anyone because they were organized, mobile, and motivated even though they were sometimes outnumbered by other armies. Mongol armies were divided into units, from light and heavy cavalries to scouting units. The Mongol horsemen were able to cover more land and their equipment was much more advanced. For instance, the horseman could cover about 90 miles per day and their bows had a range up to 300 yards. The Mogols also had a network of spies so they would be on track of where the enemy was and would be. So if you are part of any army other than the Mongols just surrender because they will destroy you no matter what you do.

--The Mongol Impact--

Despite the brutality of the Mongols, they are considered to have brought the world together. To start, Mongols often assimilated into the culture of the territory they conquered. They adopted religion from Persia, becoming Muslim. China, on the other hand, tried to keep their culture unaffected by the Mongols. China's identity remained; they kicked out the Mongols in 1368 and established the Ming Dynasty. On a different note, Russia (treated as a vassal state by the Mongols) didn't unify or culturally develop as the western countries did. The Mongols also had an impact on trade and cultural diffusion. The Mongol empire had spread to Europe, Japan, Persia, and India. The positive side to this was the fact that trade expanded, yet the disadvantage was the spread of the Black Plague.

The Mongol Impact

The Mongols were known as spreaders of culture. Some Mongols became more like the people they conquered, while others chose not to. They chose not to or couldn't. For instance in persia, most Mongols became Muslim. In China, confucian scholars were dismissed and marriage was not allowed betweeen Mongols and the Chinese. Chinese weren't allowed to learn the Mongol language. There were two major effects of Momgol rule. One is that Russia, which was defeated by the Mongols didn't unify or culturally develop as fast as their neighbors to the west. Next, and most importantly was that world trade, culturally diffision, and awareness grew. This one empire touched almost all the major civilizations of their day. Even as brutal as they appeared to be, they actually brought the world together.

Mongol Impact
During this time, Mongols were known are great cultural diffusers. Besides being known as good diffusers, they were also known for joining the religions and beliefs of the people that they conquered. For example, when they conquered Persia, most of the Mongols converted to Muslim. But this didn’t always happen. Sometimes, when they conquered an area, they either didn’t understand the religion or they just didn’t want to take part in it. When in China, a powerful ruler, known as Kublai Khan, dismissed Confucian scholars, and he forbade marriages between the Mongols, and the Chinese. He also forbade the Chinese to learn the Mongolian language. In 1368, the Mongols were kicked out of China, and the Chinese established the Ming Dynasty under the traditional Chinese practices in which they had never lost. There were also two major consequences of the Mongolian Rule. One of the consequences was how Russia did not culturally develop as quickly as the west. And the second consequence was how trade, awareness, cultural diffusion grew. This empire managed to touch all of the major civilizations of that time. When the Mongolian empire declined in 1450, the world would never be disconnected.

Hubbs said...

In the beginning the mongols were isolated and were not very acknowledged by the surrounding nations. The were in constant warfare with each other until Genghis khan united them. Since then they had been a hungry war machine. They conquered many counties and created a large empire. Because of its size the Mongols divided the empire into hordes. The golden horde took over russia and was one of the longest lasting hordes. The grandson of Genghis Khan; Kublai Khan took over china and created a new dynasty. Later the Mongols went through a period of peace called the pax mongolia. But gradually because of its size, the spreading black death and other factors lead to the fall of the mongols.
Impact
-It cause Russia to have a decline in advancement

The impact the Mongols had on the world was a huge cultural diffusion.
Russia was a vassal state conquered by them. Trade became more open. As they adapted to western culture the spreading of other cultures helped bring the world together.

The Mongol Impact

The Mongols were extremely well known for thier skills as diffusers of the cultures that they conquered. Some of the Mongols would simply assimulate to the area that they conquered. Examples of this are evident in Persia where the Mongols became muslim. However in other ares such as China the Mongols purposely did not mix their own culture with that of the Chinese.
Even going as far as forbidding marriage between Mongolians and Chinese. When the Chinese eventually took back China they were able to keep thier culture the way it was before the Mongols conquered them. The Mongols vast empire stretched so incredibly far and it connected itself with other civilizartions through trade routes. The Mongols empire connected the major civilizations at the time. In 1405, however, the Mongol empire was declining, but because of them the world was forever connected.

- The Mongols were not always united as one big empire. Instead they were small clans that were fighting among each other. - Genghis Khan united them together and created the Mongolian empire.
-As the Mongols continued to conquer the size of the empire began to increase. In order to keep the empires from being over thrown, it was divided into hordes.
- The Golden Horde invaded russia and threw Russia back a couple of years.
- Kublai Khan was the grandson of Genghis khan and took over china
-Gradually the once great empire began to decline due to its size and the black plague.

The Mongols greatly impacted World History. They did this by basically uniting most of the World to that date. They did not have a developed culture, yet they conquered surrounding areas, assimilated into their cultures and made these areas their own, thus expanding their empire. Wherever the Mongols went, they assimilated or incorporated into other nations. For example, the Mongols conquered Persia and absorb the Muslim religion and Persian culture. The Mongols did not however assimilate into all cultures, but chose the ones which would benefit them the most. They rejected Chinese culture and tried hard to be distinct from the Chinese by refusing the traditional Chinese food binding, not allowing the Chinese to learn the Mongol language and many other ways.
The Mongols greatly impacted Russia and the surrounding areas. By conquering Russia and setting up the Golden Horne, the Mongols blocked off Russia’s contact with Western Europe. This led Russia into a slight period of cultural and economic backwardness because the Renaissance did not affect Russia. Even though uniting Russia, Persia, India, Chine and many other nations and making a huge cultural mix, diseases like the Black Plague also spread through the lands. Other than those small defects, the Mongols played a key role in making the world as united as it is today.

The Mongols were one of the most fiercest and ambitious warriors ever. They were very smart when it came to fighting on a battlefield, but they were not so keen on using their smarts to make any technological, medical, or mathemetical advances. They had refined their skills and techniques so much that they were able to shoot bows up to 300 yards and were also able to effectively shoot people behind them. Their civilization was able to conquer even more land than the Persians did, meaning they had more land than any other civilization ever had up to this date. They had everything from Russia, to everything in Asia except Japan(only because they were unfortunate enough to be hit with a kamikaze both times that they tried invading Japan, after that they just gave up). They were also able to effectively use decoys, something that has not ever been done till they did it. They didn't care what religion you were, so if you they conquered you, you can still practice your beliefs without the fear of being killed for going against them. Although they did demand tribute if they conquered your land. These were just some things that Mongols had achieved and had done, but these facts still show how fierce and determined they were.

-Robert Krumer, period 7.

Hubbs said...

The Mongols were very powerful and destructive people. They conquered numerous places. Their empire was the largest in the world, landwise. But although they were quite feared they are credited with bringing the world together. By conquering all the lands and having control, many different cultures mixed and spread. the Mongols assimiliated into the different cultures of which they conquered b/c of their lack of a specific culture. The Mongols were religiously and culturley tolerant.
The Mongols were ruthless but they had a very peaceful empire, they experienced Pax Mongolia, basically because no one would wnat to mess with them they were too powerful.
The Mongol Empire was very important to the course of history.
- Nicole Kwoka

Hubbs said...

The Mongols were a very feared empire. They were known for having very fierce warriors. They Mongols were so good at fighting for many reasons. For one, they were able to cover 90 miles a day on horseback. They also had bows that were used on horseback, that could travel up to 300 yards. They also had a great leader in Genghis Kahn, who was also a great motivator. Basically, anyone who put up a fight against this empire lost. Many other countries just surrendered, and hoped that the Mongols would spare their country.

The Mongols were one of the only civilizations that assimilated parts of other cultures. The Mongols brought the world togther by all of their conquests. When the Mongols took over China, they didn't allow them to adapt any part of the Mongol culture. This allowed them to keep their own identity. The Mongols rule had 2 major consequences. The first major consequence was that Russia's group of people who went by the name of the Golden Horde were treated as a vassal state. The second major consequence was that the Mongols had a very big impact on world trade, and cultral diffusion. When the Mongol empire fell in the 1450's there was no way the world would ever be disconnected.

Japan and the mongols

The mongols were very multi cultural people, they just adapted to any culture they were around. The mongols didn't really have an culture of their own, they jus put pieces of each culture they came across together. The mongols are known for conquering and keeping the largest amount of territory (land). They had the largest empire in history (land wise). Although they had a lot of land they did not have alot of people. The mongols came up with many new ways and strategies to fight. The mongols were only interested in war, all they wanted to do was fight, and conquer. They are also the ones known to spread the Black plage across europe. The mongols had the largest empire because they had conquered all of russia and china and parts of asia. The mongols tried to conquer japan but it was not succesful, since each time they tried they were hit with kamakazi's. Although everything i had mentioned about the mongols makes them sound like a great empire, they weren't that great. Since all the mongols cared about was war, they were in a period of darkness (backwardness). They weren't advancing in any way other than military wise. Since they had stayed in Russia the longest, Russia suffered the most. The Russians hadn't advanced in any way, and by the time the mongols were gotten rid of, it was very hard for russia to recover from hundreds of years of darkness (backwardness). Genghis Khan was the leader of the Mongols that led them to conquer so much land in a small period of time. The mongols were great but bad in so many more ways. Their was no education during the ruling of the mongols.

The Mongols once had the largest empire in the world. They were led to their height under their great ruler Genghis Khan whose real name was Temujin. He united the Mongol clans and established some of the most fierce warriors today. The Mongols took over parts of the Middle East, China, Russia and many other countries. They turned Russia backwards and during the 1800s, Russia was still using serfs. Russia was under the control of the Mongols for over 250 years.

MONGOLS:

The Mongols were nomadic people who didn't have that big of an impact on the world until the 1200s. Genghis Khan took the Mongols out of isolation, united them and led them to expand. The Mongol Empire stretched from the Pacific Ocean, to Eastern Europe. The Mongol Empire went through a time known as the Pax Monglica. They allowed culture to be spread throughout the empire. The size of the Mongol Empire affected region in the empire. The Mongols became religiously tolerant.

The mongol leaf a nomadic life before they became a force on the world scene. They were isolated from most of the world. In the 1200s Ghnghis Khan unified the Mongols and lead them to expansion. They had an empire that expanded from the Pacific Ocean to eastern Europe. The Mongol Empire was split into four horde. They entered a Pax Mongolica. They allowed goods, ideas, and culture to be exchanged. The Mongol Empire was so big so they didn't require one religion to be followed by everyone. Khan established the first pony express and postal system and gave tax breaks to teachers and ckerks in his empire. Mongols were good at what they did.
