Some people may say the Mongols are good they increased trade, made people safe, and built bridges. Yes they did all that! But it all was for there own good, Increasing of trade made them get more stuff with easier access,, Making people "safe" to keep a watch on them, and building bridges so armies could move faster and destroy quicker. The Mongols are bad!
Document E
The mongols are probably the worst people ever! I can tell you why with some evidence from document e. Document e paragraph 1 states that the Mongols massacred thousands if not millions! Thats a lot of people. They even might of made pyramids of skulls of the people's bones they massacred. Mongols had a special cry before they attacked they cry was "feed the horses" which in their terms ment rape, murder, and plunder against defenseless people. When the Mongols went to a plunder a city/cities they would terrorize the populations, killing soldiers, and civilians, and seizing territory. The Mongols when

they took victims they would not torture the they would kill them swiftly.After they destroyed the city they would take the leader and put him in a rug, suffocate them and then trample them with their Mongolian horses. Do you still think the Mongols are good? If you do I have more evidence to make you know that my point is the right point of view. Document F So according to document f Mongols destroyed/ plundered or some word you have in mind they did that to 7 cities or more.
The 7 cities we know are Merv (Turkmenistan), Nishapur (Iran), Urgench (Uzbekistan), Herat and Balkh (Afghanistan). When the Mongols plundered these cities they massacred a lot of people. They massacred 1.6 million innocent people in Herat, 1.7 million people in Nishapur, and the massacred 800,000 at Baghdad. The violence of these people was outrageous! The madness made it come to the destruction of the beautiful city of Merv. When the Mongols came upon Merv they demanded the most fairest/ beautiful women in the city. When the Seljuks refused the Mongols killed the messenger and massacred Merv's inhabitants. Could you imagine what they would've done if they got the women? It's a horrifying thought to think about and even if they did they would probably still go and massacre the city afterwards
anyways! Document G In the spring of 1221 the Mongols covered walls and then descended from the rocky cement to plunder and slay yet again another city. They severed the heads of the slay from bodies of the towns/ cities people, and any survivors were drove away to be killed. When the Mongols did this they made sure that no man or women, children, cat, nor dog should be left to live. No living thing shall walk in this city! So when they massacred this defenseless city they left body piles. One pile for the women another for the men and the last for the children. Yet some people think these Mongols are good? They massacred thousands and millions of people! They killed poor defenseless children! The Mongols are BAD! To conclude my point of the Mongols being bad for killing innocent people/women/men/ and children. Do you think I made my point of saying the Mongols were bad? Not only bad but a horrifying haunted memory of them raping, murdering, and plundering against the defenseless in the cities. The Mongols are bad and if you don't agree well then you're one of the many psycho's like them. I hope I made my point to you clear.
The people that the Mongol Empire overthrew were the only ones to suffer under Genghis Khan’s homicidal ways. Khan’s army was forcibly traumatized under maniacal methods as well: “Genghis Khan ordained that the army should be organized in such a way that over ten men should beset one man and he is what we call a captain of ten. [...] When they are in battle, if one or two or even more out of a group of ten run away, all are put to death; and if a whole group of ten flees, the rest of the group of a hundred are all put to death, if they do not flee too. [...] Likewise if one or two or more go forward boldly to the fight, then the rest of the ten are put to death if they do not follow and, if one or more of the ten are captured, their companions are put to death if they do not rescue them.” (doc B) Every group of ten was expected to perform at a homog...
Many people ask “How Barbaric were the Barbarians”. The truth be told, the mongols were more barbaric than they were peaceful. They were able to conquer more than 4,800,000 miles of land using brutal and strategic military tactics, destroy and conquer cities, along with using extremely harsh punishments for their prisoners. Because of this, the mongols were able to stay in power for about 300 years. Many people believe that they mongols were more peaceful than they were barbaric because of how economically stable they were. However the mongols killed thousands and left millions terrified across Asia.
Despite the fact that Mongolians were prejudiced against other cultures, they were, in fact, not barbaric but rather civilized because of their gender equality of people and how advanced their cities were. In The Book of Ser Marco Polo, Polo tells us how beautiful and well protected the city was like. For instance, the text explains how the city was protected by two great powerful walls surrounding the entire city. Only well advanced and civilized people can do such a thing such as creating an enormous wall. If the Mongolians were barbaric they wouldn’t have even thought of protection.. In Addition, the way the city looked also proved that they were civilized and not barbaric.
The Mongols were a group of nomadic people who were known for not only their ferocity in battle but also their tolerance of other cultures. Over the course of their many empires, the Mongols conquered lands from as far as the Korean peninsula to the Islamic civilizations of the Middle East. The movement of the Mongol people into these areas was met with mixed opinions, as members of some societies respected the braveness of the Mongols while others saw them as destructive. According to Ala-ad-Din Ata-Malik Juvaini, 15th century Korean scholars, and Rashid al-Din, the Mongols were a group of tolerant people who attempted to eradicate injustice and corruptness (1,3,4). However, members of other societies viewed the Mongols as coldhearted and merciless because of the damage they dealt in the conquest of Russian cities and the taxes they forced upon their conquered societies (1,2). Nonetheless, some scholars and historians recognized the Mongols power and braveness, but were indifferent with their views of the Mongol civilization.
I am going to critically review a newspaper article on the death of Hamzah Khan from Bradford. I will discuss the main findings the research methodology and the way in which it may or may not be useful in the contribution to our understanding of child welfare. I will also include information on child abuse and on the different agencies. The newspaper article is called Hamzah Khan: the harrowing story of an 'invisible' child. (Pidd, 2013)
In conclusion, During the Mongols had a positive impact on the world because they introduced the freedom and spread of religion, the peaceful period, and the influence of the pony
The Mongols were definitely a civilized group, just not in the sense that most people see civilization. The mongols were civilized in the ways that they acted in warfare, even if it often seems that they were not, in the ways that they governed their people, and they were of great aid to the development of societies all over the world.
When the word “Mongol” is said I automatically think negative thoughts about uncultured, barbaric people who are horribly cruel and violent. That is only because I have only heard the word used to describe such a person. I have never really registered any initial information I have been taught about the subject pass the point of needing and having to know it. I felt quite incompetent on the subject and once I was given an assignment on the book, Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern Age, I was very perplexed for two reasons. One I have to read an outside book for a class that already requires a substantial amount of time reading the text, and secondly I have to write a research paper in History. I got over it and read the book, which surprisingly enough interested me a great deal and allow me to see the Moguls for more than just a barbaric group of Neanderthals, but rather a group of purpose driven warriors with a common goal of unity and progression. Jack Weatherford’s work has given me insight on and swayed my opinion of the Mongols.
One of the eras of a majestic ancient civilization that has left a lasting impression upon the world of today is the Chinese Song Dynasty. Established by General Zhao Kuangyin this dynasty lasted from 960–1279 AD and brought a new stability to China after many decades of civil war, and ushered in a new era of modernization. It was divided into the Bei (Northern) and the Nan (Southern) Song periods. This brilliant cultural epoch gave birth to major advances in economic reform, achievements in technology, and helped to further medical knowledge.
grew and lasted for about 108 years until they failed by trying to conquer India and were weak the Ming Dynasty overthrew the rulers. The Mongols were not afraid to kill. If one person refuses to do something for them their whole clan will pay, they would leave no survivors. That's what helped make them so successful, many had heard about their gruesome approach and surrendered and accepted submissions. The Mongolians of the Asian Steppe had a positive impact on the world during their rule of the Asian continent from 1206 to 1368 by influencing trade, warfare and uniting China.
The Mongols could be considered barbarians because of the violent and barbaric war tactics they used to instill fear in people. They often took advantage of their organized army to carry out many of these military tactics. When the Mongols attacked places such as fortresses, they would first surround it, breaking up their army into groups and periodically switched them so that they could attack day and night while the fortresses inhabitants tired themselves out trying to protect themselves (Doc 3). When they were not able to capture the fortress like this, they would take the fat of enemies they killed, and, after melting it, they would catapult it onto houses and set fire to it; these fires were nearly impossible to put out (Doc 3). The Mongols would also often take over entire cities, slaying all its inhabitants and burning it to the ground after taking any valuables. ...
When Westerners such as ourselves and people native to Europe are asked what they know of the Mongols the answer is usually ruthless barbarians intent upon world domination. After all these years you would expect that the educational points presented to the different generations in school would have given a different view of the Mongol civilization. Leaving this vision instilled upon generation after generation is detrimental to learning the different positive aspects left behind by such a powerful empire. The nomadic lifestyle that the Mongols endured empowered them to become hardy warriors. The Mongols began their conquests in response to Ghengis Khans personal missions as well as a disruption in trade and the ecology of the land upon which they inhabited.
Though the Mongols were brutal in their campaign to conquer, the conquests of Timur-i Lang were extremely harsh, much more so than that of the Mongols. He is heralded as one of the toughest rulers of the time, and he expanded the empire through harsh measures. Rather than the Mongols, who post-conquest were somewhat peaceful, Timur-i Lang was harmful to those he conquered in Asia. He slaughtered villages and burned them down. Most likely because of his rule and the vastness of the area he ruled, the Mongol empire was not united and failed to garner any big trading network that it previously had. Overall, Timur-i Lang was much more brutal than the rule of any other Mongol Khan, especially during the conquests and after the conquests. His zeal to get more land prevented any conquered peoples to live peacefully under his leadership.
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...
The Mongol Empire was one of the most powerful and largest empire the world would see. Genghis Khan, the creator of the Mongol Empire had a clear view of how he wanted his empire to be. In history we can see that the creator of a new empire focus in establishing laws and a government that will protect its people as well as those who they conquered. Genghis Khan like many other ruler wanted a society in which the new generations would not suffer from the cruel traditions of their ancestors, as well to ensure that the Mongols would have a higher statues than the people they conquer, which many ruler did the same.
