To me, success during the Yuan dynasty means how much they accomplished,inventions that changed the world,in such little time.For example the invention of paper money began during the yuan dynasty.“The official banknote of the Yuan Dynasty was Chao. Made from the bark of mulberry trees, Chao was the first paper currency to be used as the predominant circulating medium in history. The Yuan government used woodblocks to print paper money. The Imperial Mint was located in the capital city Khanbaliq. Regional capitals were also sometimes authorized to print money.” is what is stated in an article,10 Major Achievements Of The Yuan Dynasty Of China.

The last accomplishment that made this dynasty successful was of course trade. As the mongol empire expand far beyond china,trade grew even bigger and became part of daily life,including in today's days.

    Historians believe that the mongol invasion of europe and asia brought about positive as well as negative consequences. One way they should this is by the mongols tricking their enemies. In passage one it says they told their enemy that they surrender and waited till they all came out of their castle to slaughter everybody they saw.this supports my thesis because it shows that they tricked people a lot.so by doing that they cant help each other because they could just think the mongols are trying to trick them so they won't believe them and won't help them do anything. In passage two it says a good thing they did was introduce trade and help make trading routes.when the mongols made routes to trade on they allowed people to get goods they couldn't get where they live and it helped spread culture and religions to other parts of the world.while the road was new it started a period of peace called pax mongolia.with the new trails they opened up hospitals and orphanages.…

    Qin Shi Huangdi, the first Qin emperor, envisioned a central bureaucratic structure headed by royalty to rule China under his name. Though it came at the severe cost of public sentiment, Qin was an extremely proactive emperor who implemented much of what he had envisioned before. It’s agreed upon that the Qin Dynasty laid the foundation for the massive cultural and economic development of China that took place during the Han Dynasty. Although the Qin Dynasty is easily considered among the most influential time periods in Chinese history, it actually failed to achieve many of its ideological goals. In fact, socioeconomic disparity was not eliminated and despite the ideal of enriching the lives of the common people, it was under Qin rule in which public resentment of the authoritarian government was at its peak as there were countless peasant revolts against the bureaucratic rule of China.…
