The Mongolian Empire was an Empire in modern day Asia and Europe. The empire stretched from the Danube River to the Pacific Ocean, covering 33 million square kilometers. The Mongol Empire lasted from 1206-1368, just over 150 years, and was the largest empire in the history of the world. While many of the Mongols did not share a common language or culture, their militaristic feats are some the greatest in history, gaining an area roughly twice the size of the roman empire in under 20 years. While…

In 1162, Temujin was born in the Mongolian Steppes. Before the unification of the Mongols under Genghis Khan’s rule in 1221, the Mongol people travelled together in kinship groups, only joining forces when they needed to attack a common enemy. It wasn’t until 1200 when Temujin decided to unify all Mongol clans under his rule. Once he defeated all his rivals, he took the title of Genghis Khan in 1206. He soon would be the founder of the Mongol Empire, becoming the ruler of one the largest empires…

The New Era of Borders Adelman and Aron suggest that the establishing of fixed borders created a time in which “property rights, citizenship, and population movements” were domain of governments [1].

Habits do not change overnight, and the implementation of borders did not immediately change the way that people acted in regards to borders. Older dynamics…

The Group Video Assignment has been the most creative assignment I have completed during my post-secondary education thus far. My favourite aspect of the assignment is its requirement to not only utilize an analytical approach in determining why European states are having difficulty cooperating in some areas, but also its requirement to utilize a creative approach to present the rationale. Regarding the division of the work for the assignment, it was more or less equally distributed between…

forced to kill, so that he would have a chance to survive. Genghis Khan used a variety of tactics to defeat the enemy, while in Western Front used trench warfare as their only tactic. While the Mongolians had to be in constant war to have supplies, the German troops had food whenever they weren’t fighting. In both books, the authors make it clear that being involved with a war, and violence, was very stressful. Genghis Khan hated torture so much that he made it illegal to torture anyone, and…

During this time period arose to the world, the nomadic peoples of Central Asia, the Mongols. The Mongols conquered places in Russia , Northern China, Persia and Central Asia. Yet in their triumphs the Mongols were and still are classified as the most barbaric of the “barbarians” to have ever reigned over the world, because…

clothing by making everyone wear the same overalls within each party, but also shows a clear distinction between Inner and Outer Parties to uphold the status quo. Black usually means power, formality, evil, and fear of the unknown. This is fitting to describe those pulling the strings and controlling the general population, especially since as readers we only meet one member of the Inner Party (O’Brian), who turned out to be evil. Blue is a standard color for overalls, taking away indivuality of…

. The ear is made up of three parts: the outer, middle, and inner ear.The outer part of the ear collects sound. Sound travels through the auricle and the auditory canal, a short tube that ends at the eardrum. Sound entering the outer ear travels through the middle ear and causes the eardrum and ossicle in the middle ear to vibrate. As it travels, it amplifies and changes from air to liquid. When the stapes moves, it pushes the oval window, which then moves the cochlea. The cochlea takes the…
