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. This premise holds that the influence of the Mongols on Russia as minimal and negligent, or at the very least had a negative impact on Russia. In his article, Halperin disputes this, calling instead for a comparison of Mongol rule in Russia, China, and in Iran. By examining and comparing these three…

In ancient times, there were the Romans and the Mongolians. The Romans being a reformed and ever changing society moving forward with technological advances, and the Mongolians being a ruthless force, conquering many societies and keeping the dynasty alive and strong. Each civilization had their similarities and differences, and their pros and cons.

The founder of the Mongol empire was Genghis Khan. He joined together many nomadic tribes and created an army which he would lead into war. While his conquests of the world killed millions and created carnage everywhere it went, it was not bad for the Mongols, and a lot of cultural diffusion happened. Although it was very violent, the large empire would lead to a lot of cultural diffusion and they gave the opponents a chance to surrender peacefully without having to use any force. Although he…

the Heian government in Kyôto to become even weaker. Gradually the samurai took the lead in developing the law of the nation. The Mongol invasions, the only military invasion of Japan before World War II, occurred during this period. Khubilai, Great Khan of the Mongols, invaded China and in 1263 became Emperor of China. He pressed his conquest on to Japan. In 1274 and 1281 Mongols and Chinese led great…

It is no doubt that Genghis Kahn, the great mongol leader who's amazing speed and success of conquest helped them gain more land in 25 years than the romans did in 400 has caused a mass amount of death and destruction during his reign. But is all the death and destruction justified by the end result? During the time of the mongol’s conquest, killing a mass amount of people in order to conquer what was wanted was normal. Destruction was also a way to show how powerful an army was. Before Genghis…

everything, and their violent punishment for breaking the law. One way the Mongolian Empire was barbaric, was how they used their battle tactics. Something they did that was very violent within their own army was, if two or three men ran away, the Khan had the rest of the group of ten executed, for letting the men run away. And if 10 men were to escape the army, the 100 that they were fighting along with them were put to death immediately. Another violent tactic used by the Mongols was that…

Although the ways the Mongols dealt with war and prisoners were barbaric, their society and way of life was extremely civilized. For example, the Mongols buried prisoners alive, which was extremely barbaric. Document four states “They severed the heads of the slain from their bodies and heaped them up in piles, keeping those of the men separate from those of the women and children.” This act was also extremely barbaric. The society and the way of life of the Mongols was civilized, the opposite…

Have you ever wondered if the character Mowgli of the Jungle Book written by Rudyard Kipling was actually true? Yes, it is true to some extent, except the whole thing of having a talking bear as your friend.

Consultant Jean-Marc Gaspard Itard tried to rehabilitate this "wild child". He was able to teach him the…

Mongols were barbaric or not. In my opinion, the Mongols were not barbaric because they were organized, they could conquer land, and their battle tactics were the best at the time. Firstly, the Mongols were organized because their leader, Genghis Khan had one person being in command of 100 guys which made it way more organized. He also said in battle if anyone ran away from war then the whole group would get executed or if a couple of people were the only ones to attack then everyone besides…
