It was of their special usage of military strategies and weapon that allow the Mongolians to conquer over 4 million square miles of land more than that of Alexander the Great, Tamerlane, or Cyrus the Great (Doc.1). The way the Mongols slay almost all inhabitants in an area doesn’t mean that they are entirely barbaric, what it really shows is how advance the Mongolians are in their military knowledge, knowing by killing most inhabitants they can prevent future rebellions and drive fear in the remaining inhabitants to further reduce the chances of a rebellions (Doc.4). Seen by John of Plano Caripini was how the Mongolians organize and set rules for their armies. The Mongolians organize the army in a way that there are different levels of captain ruling over a certain number of people, doing this makes the army easier to control and organize. In battles those who ran away, don’t follow and fight, or
Mongol DBQ The Mongols were one of the strongest empires the world has ever seen. They were able to conquer such a large territory in such a small time frame due to many reasons. Mongolian culture encouraged death and destruction to other people. This is what gave the Mongols their fierceness on the battlefield. The Mongols amazing military strategy also played a part in their success.
Though the Mongolian expansion led to devastation in both Russia and China, Mongol rule had positive long-term effects on both civilizations that eventually supported their rise as political and economic powers in the 15th and 16th centuries. Under Mongol rule, the economies of both civilizations grew; however, they expanded for different reasons. Chinaâs economy flourished after the re-opening of the Silk Roads, while many of Russiaâs princes became wealthy because of their ability to manipulate their roles as tribute collectors. Politically, China and Russia were influenced in different manners. As a result of Mongol contact, China became unified whereas the trace amount of Russian unity disintegrated.
Introduction From the first explosion of Mongol military might from the steppes of central Asia in the early decades of the 13th century to the death of Timur in 1405, the nomads of central Asia made a last, stunning return to center stage in world history. Mongol invasions ended or interrupted many of the great empires of the postclassical period, while also extending the world network that had increasingly defined the period. Under Chinggis Khan - who united his own Mongol tribesmen and numerous nomadic neighbors into the mightiest war machine the world had seen to that time - central Asia, northern China, and eastern Persia were brought under Mongol rule. Under Chinggis Khan's sons and grandsons, the rest of China, Tibet, Persia, Iraq, much of Asia Minor, and all of southern Russia were added to the vast Mongol imperium. Though the empire was divided between Chinggis Khan's sons after his death in 1227, the four khanates or kingdoms -which emerged in the struggles for succession -dominated most of Asia for the next one and one-half centuries.
However, the Islamic States and Mongol khanates were similar in their battles of who would become ruler. After the death of Caliph Harun-al-Rashid, his two sons began to fight for the throne. This caused a fourth civil war. After the death of Genghis Khan his four sons continued the expansion. After the death of Ogedei, whom was the second Great Khan, there was a great dispute over who would become the next successor.
The Bolsheviks had a huge strategic advantage due to their geographical position within Russia, in that they had control over major cities such as Moscow and Petrograd, which had many people within them. Due to this they controlled major factors and therefore could retrieve large quantities of war materials. The industry was also very efficient due to the huge mass population in which the majority supported the Bolsheviks. Due to these factors the Red army were very self-sufficient and had a military advantage over the white forces that had to depend on limited, foreign aid. Their control over major cities and thus access to more weapons therefore lead to the Communist victory in the Civil War.
The Mongol Empire emerged from the unification of Mongol and Turkic tribes in the region of modern day Mongolia under the leadership of Genghis Khan, who was proclaimed ruler of all Mongols in 1206. The Empire grew rapidly under his leadership and then that of his descendants, who sent invasions in every direction. Under the Mongols, new technologies, various commodities and ideologies were disseminated and exchanged across Eurasia. The Mongolian Empire functioned as the principal cultural clearing house for the Old World until its decline in the 14th century when it was gradually replaced by maritime Europe which in time came to perform similar offices for the Old World and the New. The Empire began to split as a result of wars over succession, as the grandchildren of Genghis Khan disputed whether the royal line should follow from Genghis's son and initial heir Ogedei, or one of his other sons such as Tolui, Chagatai, or Jochi.
The rise of Chinggis Khan is a little more interesting. The principal Borjigin Mongol leader, Kabul Khan, began a series of raids into Jin in 1135. In 1162 (some historians say 1167), Temujin, was the first son of Mongol Chieftain Yesugei, and grandson of Kabul Khan. Yesugei was the chief of the Kiyat Subclan of the Borjigin Mongols. The Kiyat rejected Temujin as their leader and chose one of his kin instead.
During the thirteenth and the fourteenth century, the Mongols were tribes that were unified into the Mongol Empire under the rule of Genghis Khan. The empire became larger through invasions by the descendants of Khan. The Muslim Caliphates were large groups of people led by religious and political leaders called caliphs. The caliphs ruled the groups as a continuation of the system that the prophet Muhammad left behind. The Mongols and the Muslim Caliphates both contained similarities and differences through their social structure, political system, and their economic statuses.
People also viewed The Mongols as having a more destructive force. As shown in 3, Robert Tignor, said “merely 10,000 horsemen face his army of 200,000 soldiers, who were wager to acquire the treasures of his wealthy trade center. Even before the battle has taken place, the people of Baghdad knew the fait thet awaited them.” which says that the people knew that the mongols were more powerful than them and this mattered because it shows they they're very destructive and intimidating.
