The Mongol legacy might have even provided us with a few ideas for today’s society. The Mongol’s were the first to allow freedom of religion and education.

of the Mongol Empire in 13th century definitely made a difference in the later ruling policies and decision-making conditions of both east and central Asia.

Genghis Khan went from village to village and killed everyone or offered a protection deal. Over his 21 years of ruling he killed around 40 million people, which was about 10% 0f the world's population at that time. When Genghis Khan killed people from one village he would take his…

In the article “Russia in the Mongol Empire in Comparative Perspective,” Charles J. Halperin makes the argument that past scholarship on the Mongols has been distorted by a Europocentric premise.

Throughout history, there have been many nomadic people who have terrorized empires and city states. Some are stereotyped as barbaric and some are considered actual nations. Yet the Mongols were both. Led by Genghis Khan, the Mongols swept through Eurasia, ruthlessly conquering from the Pacific to the Black Sea. Genghis Khan is probably the most important figure in the Mongol Empire’s history. He was born as Temüjin (he was later renamed Genghis Khan by his people) either in 1162 or 1167. When…
