The Mongols had foreign administrators in China because they did not trust any Chinese person to be left in charge therefore foreign people were used. While in the Middle East the Mongols felt that leaving the Persians to have some charge would be the best for the people and result in benefits. Along with similar and different political effects of Mongol rule, there were similar and different economic effects of Mongol rule on China and the Middle East. The economic effects of Mongol rule on China and the Middle East were similar in that both were forced to give up money. In
The effect of Mongol rule on Russia and China was similar in some respects and different in others economically. The Mongols affected both civilizations similarly in that the Mongols demanded tribute from both empires. Although it was similar that Russia and China both had to give tribute to the Mongols, it affected both civilizations differently. For example in Russia, the peasants were taxed very harshly, turning them into serfs. Also in Russia, all of the tax went to Moscow because Moscow was the tax collector because Chinggis Khan did not live directly in Russia, so this helped build Russia’s wealth.
Although the Articles of Confederation were effective when dividing the new lands in the west, they were overall ineffective in the areas of commerce, foreign affairs and controlling the common people. The Articles of Confederation did manage to successfully handle the new western lands which were acquired by America after the war. Following the war America gained new lands and the government needed a system to divide and govern these new lands. Many of the larger colonies claimed to own these western lands due to their original charters. But, in order for the Articles of Confederation to be ratified and to pay off the debt from the war, the states needed to give up their land to the national government, so that it could be sold in order to pay off the country's debt.
While life was extremely brutal under Mongol rule in both Russia and the Middle East, the extent of the brutality was different in each region due to the way the conquest of that region occurred. Mongol takeover of Russia was fast and relatively easy just like in the Middle East. However Russia was composed of independent kingdoms that refused to ban together to stand against the Golden Horde which lead to a quick and deadly downfall unlike in the Middle East where Islamic kingdoms combined to fight the Mongol onslaught. The Golden Horde took over Russia by going from kingdom to kingdom and killing everyone that stands and opposes them. If a kingdom was to fight and lose to the Mongol cavalry then the entire city would be looted and then
The Tokugawa mainly was involved with their faiths of Buddhism which closely mirrored Hinduism and Shinto which was seen as the way of the gods. Also the Tokugawa followed main Confucian beliefs of harmony and obedience as well as Daoist traditions. The Shogunate also believed that the emperor ruled based on the Mandate of Heaven which meant that he had been chosen by Heaven for his talents and virtue. Ruling in the name of the emperor, the Tokugawa “regulated foreign intrusion...[and] it remained free from outside intrusion” (511). This is because the Japanese authorities took notice that Christian converts were not tolerant to that of other religions and faith and believed Christ to be superior.
Another distinct event where their difference in ideology was clearly shown was during the Yalta Conference where the party declined strictly to have their say accepted about the liberal of the Eastern Europe. Stalin strictly insisted for Eastern Europe to be under USSR as they had given them aid as defeating Germany inwards her land but USA insist for them to have a free election and thus this results in the two superpowers to have a tension between them. Stalin’s continuation taking up action such as the Salami
The inability to conquer Japan was the campaign that kept Mongols from building a lasting civilization, also the death of Kublai, then the fact that his successors were weak and led to the rebels to overthrow them to form the Ming dynasty. Even though the Mongol Empire collapsed a long time ago, and the Mongolian state has become relatively small in size compared to other countries, Mongolian influences are still effective today in Russia and China as well as other parts of the world. With political, economical, religious influences upon once conquered states, the Mongol Era is truly remarkable in its ability to change and reform other countries. Of course, both positive and negative effects came out of Mongolian rule, but overall, the Mongolian era was a positive period of time. The East and West Worlds are finally connected by series of routes, and trade, religion, as well as other goods and ideas are quickly spread.
The Sultan, the pashas, Hoja, and the janissaries all wanted a Muslim world with good relations with other religions minus the Christians. It was the misunderstanding of Muslims by Christians and Christians by Muslims that fueled the fire in this conflict. With the Muslims caught up with religion and not making technological advances a priority they fell to the overpowering European empires which they try to destroy. It was these misunderstandings and oppressions that brought the Ottomans to a halt but the relation that only the Hoja and the young scholar made and finally understood at the end is what draws us in to know that at least these two could co-exist without religion getting in the
The Mongols united under Temujin and expanded to control the area from Poland to Siberia. A Great Khan is a supreme ruler. After Gengis Khan’s death, his empire was divided among his sons and grandsons. The territories were Domain of the Great Khan, Khanate of Jagadai, Il-Khans, and Khanate of the Golden Horde. War Tactics: The Mongols were very strategic, used various tricks on enemies to confuse them.
The rivalry between Britain and Russia led to the British imperialism of Afghanistan, which not only caused many short-term effects such as internal challenges and wars, but also begun the eternal hatred of foreign occupation in Afghanistan. Imperialism is defined as, “the policy of extending the rule or authority of an empire or nation over foreign countries, or of acquiring and holding colonies and dependencies” (Dictionary.com). Technically speaking, the events in Afghanistan fit this definition. However, in most cases, imperialism is due to a desire to obtain raw materials. This was not relevant to Afghanistan because Afghanistan did not contain any desirable goods.
