Genghis Khan Research Paper

Genghis Khan with the Mongols under his power, consequently formed most of the westward part of the world into what it is today, and wide spreading throughout nations. Genghis Khan’s role as an intelligent administrator was the most important in shaping the modern world because of his new and improved techniques of enhancing trade routes, expanding the monetary system, and promoting the importance of education and literacy. These new and improved techniques discovered by Genghis Khan, are one of many that are still used throughout the world today.

Genghis Khan’s idea of expanding and enhancing trade routes expanded the Mongol Empire, which later brought international prosperity (220). One of the most important trade routes Genghis Khan had

a huge impact on is the Silk Road. The Silk Road is a trade route that ultimately brought the Mongol’s economic growth. Consequently, the constant movement of commercial goods changed the Mongol war routes to trade routes. The enhanced trade routes eventually spread across the global world bringing all people to use these trade route.
Genghis Khan developed the first widespread use of paper money, which other countries attempted to use around the modern world (204). The development of such a small piece of rectangular paper brought massive expansion for the Mongol empire. Today, countries around the world, from the east to the west, north to the south, practice the use of this monetary system.
Genghis Khan promoted the importance of education and literacy, which other countries soon adopted (206). He believed education was a very important part in developing the Mongol empire. These education practices allowed the Mongol the ability to record their own history. The Mongol encouraged the education of literacy by creating public schools. Children and peasant were both educated in these buildings. The Mongols were the first who attempted to expand education. Years to come, the West learned the importance of public education. Countries such as Russia, China, the United States and so forth, support the importance of education and literacy.
Genghis Khan did not stop here with his work. He continued improving life for the Mongol’s which began to spread quickly. Genghis Khan built an empire that is beyond remarkable and definitely unforgettable. Without a doubt, the Mongol’s goal of uniting all people under the Eternal Blue Sky was successful.
