The Mongol empire and Alexander The Great’s empire were two of the most interesting and powerful empires of all time. Yet, even with many similarities there are many differences as well between these two great empires. The Mongol empire began during the 13th and 14th centuries in which it was the largest land empire in all of world history. It was located beginning in the Central Asia and eventually spread all the way to Central Europe. Alexander The Great’s empire, Macedonia, was a Greek empire located in Central Greece. Both of these giant civilizations became the biggest empires the world has ever seen. The Mongol Empire was a very powerful which conquered more land in two years than the Romans did in 400 years. Also, they controlled more than eleven million square miles. The Mongols were very important because they created nations like Russia and Korea, smashed the feudal system and created international law, and created the first free trade zone. In the beginning of the Mongol Empire, they mostly lived in foothills bordering the Siberian forests mixing heroing and hunting. They also became really good at archery and riding horses. The main reason the Mongols came to be so powerful was all because of a man named Genghis Kahn. Genghis was born around 1162 with the name Temujin. Due to the death of his father, Temujin was left under the control of his older brothers. Soon enough, he was married to a woman named Borte. Borte was later kidnapped, in which Temujin proved his military skills when saving her. Not to long after this, Temujin became the leader of his tribe. Yet, to unite the Mongol confederations it required a civil war, which Temijun ended up winning. After proving his skills and loyalty, Temijun was declared the Gr... ... middle of paper ... ...erfect as they seemed and Genghis and Alex both couldn’t hold together empires very well. As far as differences, Alexander the Great’s empire started in Greece and conquered mostly Europe while Genghis Kahn’s empire started in Asia and spread throughout Asia and Europe. After death, Genghis Kahn had grandchildren who took over his legacy where as Alexander didn’t. In general, the Mongols conquered more land then the Greeks making them a bit more powerful and more influential. As you can see, these two empires were some of the greatest the world has ever seen. They also had two of the greatest leaders in world history that are known around the globe. With very little differences between the two, the empires were similar in many ways, which is very interesting and incredible that two different empires starting in different places and time periods could be so alike.
The Aztec and Mongol empires were large, expansive realms that shared many similarities in their rise to power, but also had some differences. The Aztec and Mongol Empire's rise to power were similar politically in that they both conquered neighboring nations, similar socially in that their social structures both emphasized warriors, but were different economically in that the Aztecs relied on tributes from conquered lands to fund their expansion whereas the Mongols destroyed lands they conquered to prevent challenges to their power.
To start, the mongols were able to used brutal and strategic military tactics that helped them conquer more than 4,800,000 miles of land. The Mongols leader “Genghis Khan” was a very smart and strategic leader. He organized his army into groups of ten, hundred, and one thousand. If such groups runs away or flees, the entire group was put to death. Genghis Khans army was able to succeed in conquering land due to horses. His army
Firstly, they were taught and trained from a very young age. All men over the age of fourteen were expected to undertake military duty (DOC B). By training their soldiers so young, by the time they were ready to fight, they were amazingly fast and strong which helped to conquer other lands. Second, the Mongols were very well organized which helped with communication. Organization flourished under Genghis Khan, the leader of the Mongols, control because he instituted new rules.
To start there are their similarities. The biggest similarity of the two is that both empires survived into the 20th century while their other contemporaries did not. Secondly the two empires were alike in their strong armies. Their armies which were made strong most notably by their rulers, the Russian Peter the Great and the Ottoman Suleiman the Magnificent, and a further but related
The Mongol empire was the largest land empire the world has ever seen. First began as a nomadic group of tribes. Mongols were united and emerged into an empire that conquered lands stretching from Europe to Central Asia under the rule of Genghis Khan. The Mongol empire was able to succeed in expanding, and conquering was due to their ability to adapt to any living conditions, their sheer brutality force, and their strong military organization. To begin, one factor that supported the Mongols in their conquests was their capacity for foraging, allowing them to survive under harsh living conditions.
The Mongols had the Yuan Empire in China, the Jagadai in Central Asia, the Golden Horde in Russia, and the Il-khan Empire in Iran. Without definite successors, these empires were divided among the many heirs. A stark difference between these two political entities is how these governments fell. The Mongol Empires split as the heirs of Genghis Khan fought over whom should rule and ultimately fell after years of ruling many peoples and being at the maximum size it could rule.
Throughout human civilization, empires have risen and fell, ruling over different people in different land. Of those various empires, the Mongol and the Greece empire are some of the most important empire that ever existed. Both empires have their unique characteristics; nevertheless, the effect both has on modern society is still great.
The Mongol Empire was well known for their ability to conquer two continents within two centuries, but what isn't as well known was their ability to keep and govern the territory they had conquered.The leader of the Mongol Empire, Genghis Khan, was born in 1162 to a tribe leader. Genghis Khan faced multiple setbacks in his early life, including the death of his father and betrayal from allied tribes. However, Genghis was able to come back and conquer the Eastern and Mongolian Steppes, thus uniting the warring Mongol tribes. Now united as one, the Mongol tribes swept through Asia, conquering China, Russia and the Muslim World. Once conquered, the Mongols used their powerful governmental skills to retain control and create a larger, more successful
The Mongol empire is one of the historical empires that rose in 1130. The empire was located between Danube river and the Pacific Ocean. The empire emerged after victories from several wars with their neighbors. The empire established strong dynasty after defeating Jim Empire. It had the army that plays critical role in expanding its territory. Yesugei from Mongol kiyad sub-clan provided leadership skills to defeat their opponent. After conquering the region, Mongol reigns and took full control of the economic activities within its jurisdiction.
They had loved as herders in the grasslands of north China. They also raided and fought with other tribes. Khan managed to unite the Mongols tribes into a powerful fighting force. Under his leadership, the Mongols began to campaign of conquest that would create the largest empire the world ever had known. Genghis first turned his army south, toward China. He had taken a large portion of northern China after a several years of fighting. The Mongols took the rest of China, all of Russia, and most of southeast Asia. Because the Mongols were nomads, they had no real experience this governing. They could also be flexible. They allowed conquered peoples to maintain their own custom and tradition. They practiced religious tolerance, one of Genghis’s grandsons reported that they said there is one God.Just as God has given different fingers to the palm, se He has given different religion to men. Meanwhile, Mongols started to collapse, they lasted for centuries. The main cause of the collapse was the disease. This disease was bubonic plague, also known as the Black Death. Black Death started China and spread it along the Silk Road. The Black Death brought down the Mongol
The Mongol Empire extended from the Pacific Ocean to Eastern Europe in the 13th and 14th centuries. In 1206, the Temujin Khan led Mongols out from the Mongolian steppes to conquer Eurasia. He developed an elaborate political network to rule his vast empire. Beforehand, he amassed his following by uniting Mongolia’s plethora of clans. And used his military might to sweep across Eurasia. When Genghis Khan died in 1227, his four sons redistributed the territory into four distinct khanates (regions). By 1279, Genghis Khan’s grandson Kublai Khan, the third Great Khan of the Mongol Empire conquered China’s Song Dynasty. In its place, he established the Yuan Dynasty, translating to the origin of the universe. Despite a reputation as the territory
Beginning in 1211, Genghis Khan and his armies fled from Mongolia and swiftly conquered most of Eurasia. The Great Genghis Khan died in 1227, but his sons and grandsons continued the expansion of the Mongol Empire across Central Asia, China, the Middle East, and into Europe. Starting in 1236, Genghis Khan's third son Ogodei decided to conquer as much of Europe as he could and by 1240 the Mongols had control of Russia, Ukraine, Romania, Bulgaria, and Hungary.
Trade and interaction between empires in the early 1200s was limited and extremely dangerous. Asia was mostly made up of small clans and nomadic tribes. These tribes constantly fought and had little communication with the west. There was little unification and interaction. In the 13th century, a Mongol leader named Genghis Khan began to unite the nomadic tribes and clans, thus beginning the short, but great, Mongol Empire. Khan was a ruthless invader who was able to bring together the clans and put together one of the most successful empires in world history. At its height, the Mongol empire spanned from the Pacific Ocean to Baghdad and up to modern day Hungary (Mongol Empire, 1294). Many believe that the Mongols had mostly negative impacts
Who were the Mongols? Although they were stereotyped to be an eastern group filled of savages with barbaric intentions they were a combination of forest and prairie people who brought much more than violence and death. Throughout time they were known as great warriors skilled in horseback riding and archery while also being capable of creating one of the most peaceful periods in history . As an end resolution, the Mongols shaped one of the largest land empires in world history that helped shape their image and contributed to their civilization in the 13th and 14th century.
The Mongols were a group of nomadic people who throughout history invaded, conquered, and dominated multiple civilizations. China and Russia are an example of these dominated civilizations that were conquered in the early 13th century. These two dominations of different regions brought about many political and economic changes but the styles of influence varied from each other as the Mongols had direct control over the Chinese but allowed local princes to govern Russia as long as they behaved and paid tribute. Also, both Russia and China were allowed to practice their own religion. On the contrary, there were some similar economic influences caused by the Mongols on both Postclassical civilizations such as the economy improving with trading routes.
