The Mongolian Empire existed for approximately 200 years and in that time, there were no other peoples more feared or ruthless. Starting as a group of tribes unified by a charismatic and moderate ruler under Chingis-Khan, over time and after many successions, became a merciless military force conquering most of the known world from Eastern Europe, to China and South to Persia. The Mongolian Empires’ expansion can be attributed to its military strength and brutality while installing governments…

The extremely violent and brutal conquests not only shaped the future of China, the legacy of the…

When the name Genghis Khan is mentioned, many words may come to mind: destruction, relentless, blood thirsty barbarian. Though throughout the years the image of Genghis Khan has been refurbished quite a bit. Naturally, in Mongolia, Khan has always held a worthy reputation for the obvious fact that without Genghis Khan there would be no Mongolia. The author, Jack Weatherford, writes in real captivating style. By mixing some narrative with analysis, this is an effective way to keep the reader…

Sergi Bodrov’s Mongol: The Rise of Genghis Kahn can just be seen as a movie that shows gory battle scenes and a journey of a man; however, Bodrovs movie also shows elements of how the Mongols created the largest empire in the premodern world and kept it going for a century. Mongol: The Rise of Genghis Kahn particularly reflects the harshness of the people and of the conditions they lived in, the divine power and their mission from God, their value of knowledge, and the fairness they had towards…

A young man was born in central Mongolia; he was known as Temujin. He was born to a somewhat humble family and began as a child born with great purpose and many omens of success. The book of Genghis Khan and the making of the Modern World, gives great insight into the life of his life. He grew to be a great leader, general, and lawmaker. His life is fascinating and I find it sad that he is not seen as such in many circles. Genghis Kahn is someone who was a great man of history in many respects.…

Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World In “Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World” written by Jack Weatherford, he paints a prettier picture of the Mongols than they are usually perceived.

The Mongols accepted a variety of religions in their empire. Religion was very important in that century; therefore, the Mongols were very open-minded…

The Mongols dominated Russia from 1240 to nearly the end of the of the 16th century CE. The empire conquered by Genghis Khan was split after his death among his heirs and eventually divided into four smaller, though not insignificant Khanates. According to David O. Morgan the Great Khanate in and around China, the Ilkhanate of Persia, Iraq, and parts of Anatolia, the Chagatai Khanate of Central Asia, and the Golden Horde that controlled much of the Western and Southern parts of Russia. Due to…

that final category. With storied leaders such as Chinggis and Khubilai Khan, Mongolian history flows with rich details about excellence in battle and life. Though a few consider them barbaric beings sharing a metaphorical prison cell with the Nazis, Soviets, and Khmer Rouge, the Mongols are much more sophisticated…

Discussion “The individual does not have the power to change a sign in any way once it has become established in the linguistic community; I mean that it is unmotivated, i.e. arbitrary in that it actually has no natural connection with the signified…” (Lemert, 2013, p. 116). Actually I don 't agree on this, I believe that the individual is the highest value, the freedom of him is of the highest. Always the individual is ignored in favour of the group and has no value, and this is the good reason…

The Mongols, when you think of them what comes up, is it the way they used violence to conquer and destroy societies or the way they ruled them? Speculation on the Middle East and Eastern Asia will elucidate in the difference and similarities on the manner they were ruled by the Mongolians in an Interaction with Environment and Economical perspective. How both regions were similar were that during Mongol rule, they pushed taxation on both societies. In Eastern Asia for example, the Mongols made…
