How The Mongols Changed The World

The Mongols left quite an impression on the world with their legacy, there are many
parts of the Mongolian legacy that are very important and that have changed the history of the
world. The Mongols spread the Black Death throughout their empire without which the world
and history would be very different. The Mongols also spread a writing system throughout their
empire, although writing was discovered independently in multiple areas, the Mongolian
empire helped to spread the idea. And, strangely enough, the Mongols developed a rather
effective postal system. Although the Mongols are often thought of barbaric people who just
went around pillaging every place that they ever saw, the Mongols also developed or helped
develop and spread some of the

most important ideas and aspects of history.
The Black Death, while very tragic, was a very important part of history without which
the world would not be the same. Who knows what the world would be like if the Black Death
pandemic had not struck the world, the world would most certainly be very different. The Black
Death was one of the most world changing events in history and without the Mongol’s idea to
throw sick people over city walls before an invasion it might never have grown into a worldwide
pandemic. That is why I believe that the Black Death is one of the most important aspects of
the Mongolian legacy. Although the Black Death resulted in the Dark Ages and many deaths, it
is nonetheless an important part of history that we can thank the Mongols for.

Not all of the things that the Mongols did were bad things, although the Mongolians
were not the first to use writing and several areas such as Mesopotamia developed writing
independently of the Mongols, the Mongols did help to spread written language all throughout
their empire. The Mongols were literate people and they would force the people in the cities
and empires that they had conquered to learn to use written language. There is a good chance
that without the influence of the Mongols that writing would have developed at a significantly
slower rate than the rate at which it did in history.
Finally, the third thing that I think is very important and interesting about the Mongolian
legacy is that in addition to spreading the written word all across the world, they developed a
postal system. This was probably inevitable as the Mongols controlled such a vast empire, they
needed some efficient way to deliver messages and information all across their empire, so they
developed a postal system to solve the problem. Combined with the Mongol’s knowledge of
how to effectively use horses, the Mongolian postal system became very effective and
remained a strong idea in the cities that they

conquered.
