hundred years. The Yuan was overthrown by a peasant, Chu Yuan-chang, who led a rebel army again the Yuan in 1368. Therefore, Chu was able to declare himself the founder of a new dynasty, the Ming, because Beijing Khans lost legitimacy with Mongols in Mongolia, and Chinese regarded them as bandits, not a legitimate dynasty. Subsequently, Mongols were confined to their original homeland until…

Out of the many great leaders/warriors to have been born, one man made a mark on the world that would forever change history. The man named Temujin better known to the world as Genghis Khan, would become Mongolia’s greatest leader and ancestor. Genghis Khan was the son of a warrior tribe chief named Yesukhei. Most of the western world has seen Genghis Khan as a barbarian that slaughtered, plundered, and destroyed many cultures. But for the Mongols, they saw him as a national hero that united…

To begin I feel it is important to define the term globalisation. It is described by Osterhammel and Petersson as “the development, concentration, and increasing importance of worldwide integration,” (Osterhammel & Petersson, 2003, p. 26). I take this definition to mean that globalisation is about how the world has come together as one and created interconnectedness between countries. Globalisation is a widely debated topic, especially by historians, so it is arguable whether we can speak of…

Chinese invented weapons, silk, china, paper and many technological, as well as political influence in the region of origins. Indians were known for their spices, as the people of East Africa traded slaves, timber, and ivory. All over the world, civilizations were inventing tools and coming up with new ideas on how to better their culture. This is the cornerstone, or backbone of what started a series of the…

Long ago, during the period of the fourteenth century, an empire emerged within Northeast Asia. The empire was known as: the Mongol Empire. The Mongol Empire had created the world’s largest empire, and they were set out to dominate the entire world. However, the world was oblivious to the fact that those Mongols were far more different compared to themselves. They were ghosts. Poltergeists, to be distinctly specific. It’s much too late now to stop them. Like every other unknown creature and…

Mongols The Mongol empire was originated during the period of the thirteenth century by Chinggis Genghis Khan. Throughout the duration of two generations the empire contained a majority of Asia. It essential became one of the biggest groups which ranged higher than one million (“Mongols and Black Death” slide 6). The unified territory carry on only up to about 1260 where Mongol forces diverted by a civil war with Chaghadai state (“Mongols and Black Death” slide 21). However the main successor…

China: Human Rights and Status of Oppressed Groups Premise: The evidence will support that the world-wide movement to protect the rights of oppressed groups has not reached nor affected China; indeed, there is strong resistance to correcting human rights abuses. In the summer of 1989, Chinese students protested in Tiananmen Square, Beijing, facing off against government troops and tanks. From this event came an iconic image, of a man holding his shopping bags, facing off against a line of…

The play “Julius Caesar” explained two men named Brutus and Antony who both presented speeches in front of their town with different meanings about the assassination of Caesar. Antony had to ask Brutus for permission to speak at Caesar’s funeral. His despairing emotion and speech drawed the crowds special attention. Antony speech does not show any praise of caesar but does show sympathy and memorable memories that caesar did for his town. This whole situation sums a complete catastrophe. If…

History has encountered a great deal of influential leaders such as Julius Caesar , Hannibal and Alexander the Great. Surprisingly enough one of the world’s greatest warriors is always left out of the equation , Genghis Khan of the Mongolian Tribe. Today in our society , they are portrayed as savages who had the sole purpose of wiping out entire cultures , destroying villages and murdering the most people possible. While part of this statement was true , let’s not forget that the old world was…

“I am the punishment of God…If you had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.” – Genghis Khan. The Mongols are a group of nomadic people that lusted for battle during Genghis Khan and his successor’s reign. Their empire was short lived, only 126 years, due to no cohesive elements like religion or culture, but they expanded to a size only rivaled by the British Empire at its peak. The Ottomans, on the other hand, survived for a whopping 624 years! They…
