Khublai Khan had once said “The Christians say their god was Jesus Christ; the Saracens, Mohammed; the Jews, Moses; and the idolaters Sakamuni Borhan [that is, Sakiamuni Buddha, who was the first god to the idolaters]; and I do honor and reverence to all…

When looking back on history of the greatest rulers in history, it is difficult not to mention the names of Genghis Khan and Kublai Khan. Genghis Khan, of course, is known for the creation of the Mongol Empire, the largest in the world, through the destruction of tribes in Northeastern Asia. While Kublai Khan, who was Genghis Khan’s grandson, was an emperor of the Mongol Empire and found of the Yuan Dynasty in China.

one caught everyone’s eye. The Mongols prospered in so little time with advanced military tactics, great controlled government system, and rulers to help thrive their spread in time. The Mongol empire became into creation in 1206 as Chinggiz Khan as their ruler. With just being born they had the largest and longest living empire ever in history in becoming successful.

The Mongolian Empire between 1200-1400 C.E was growing and expanding rapidly across Eurasia. Their actions at the time were viewed as brutal and barbaric. As of late, this view is being debated, we see in documents 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 that they were extremely organized, were part of peaceful religions, and aided in the development and success of social structures, economy, and even new technologies and innovations in civilizations. However, in documents 2, 3, 4, and 5 we see evidence of…

Golden Horde and Chagatai Khanate Kublai Khan ruled the Yuan Dynasty and Hulagu Khan ruled the Ilkhanate. But there were two other kingdoms that existed inside the Mongol kingdom.

He ruled the Golden Horde. The Chagatai Khanate was ruled by Chagatai. As we begin, let’s start with the Golden Horde. Many wonder where this…

Comparing Two Men in History The two people I have chosen to compare are Adolf Hitler and Genghis Khan because they are both people who did bad things that affect many people, and did things that lead to war, and involved killing a bunch of people, both ended up dead or being killed for what they did. Adolf Hitler was born in Austria on April 20, 1889 and then when he was three years old he and his family had moved to Germany, and from 1933-1945 he was the chancellor and was dictator from…

An 11-year-old boy named Babur proved to be a strong general and founded the Mughal Empire.

The Vikings knowledge of the sea was passed on for generations. With that knowledge, they were able to navigate to unfamiliar waters which were at the time thought impossible to navigate by others, which makes us think of the Vikings as experts on the subject, even though they were looked at as foolish individuals by others during that time. On the other hand, the Vikings did not only create mayhem, they also were skilled traders and well-organized in performing illegal activities, such as:…

Marco Polo was an explorer who sculpted the world we live in today. He traveled from his Venetian home to China along the Silk Roads. In China, he worked for one of the most powerful leaders in his time, Kublai Khan. This gave him a firsthand experience with one of Europe’s powerful leaders. His travels were later recorded into a book called the, II Milione, which gave Europeans insight of the world beyond them. His book inspired other Europeans to travel to unknown lands. Marco Polo is…

Of all empires of the ancient world, it is difficult to determine whether or not the influences of the Mongol Empire were good or bad. Were they relentless nomadic warriors whose sole purpose of living was to kill? Or were they defined by their religious tolerance and their use of free trade?
