They overall had a more negative than positive impact on world history.” The Mongols used brutal military tactics and showed no mercy killed anyone who resisted along with wives and children were so feared that some areas surrendered automatically because they heard about the Mongols and knew of their reputation used unskilled civilians as human shields for attacks on the next city executed captured
Between 600 and 1500ce both the Mongol empire and the Aztec empire had the similar goal to gain more power and land within their political systems. However the way these two groups of people achieved this goal and managed the social aspect of their empires was very different. The Mongolian empire was out of the ordinary because it was a meritocracy which is government or the holding of power by people selected on the basis of their ability. This meant you rule by what you contribute to the society
The Mongol Empire, the largest contiguous empire in history, existed during the 13th and 14th century. Originating in the steppes of Central Asia the empire eventually stretched from Central Europe to Japan, extending northwards into Siberia, eastwards and southwards into India and Iran and westwards as far as Arabia. The actual founder and most significant leader of the empire, Chingis Khan, unified nomadic tribes and proclaimed ruler of all Mongols in 1206. The empire grew promptly under his rule
The Mongol empire was founded by Temüjin (1167 – 1227) at the Mongol steppe region. After defeating his former comrade named Toghril, Temüjin was awarded the title called Chinggis Khan (Genghis Khan).

Chapter 12 Notes The Rise of the Mongols The prairies and the deserts belonging to Central Asia and Inner Asia contributed to the expansion of the Mongol Empire. However other successes in things like human interaction and social success cannot be traced back to a certain environmental factor. Nomadism also contributed to the rise of the empire and it’s expansion, starting one of the greatest empires in history. Nomadism in Central and Inner Asia Steppe nomads can accredit their success to their
the Making of the Modern World (2004), Weatherford claims that Khan was not the barbaric leader of savages he had been portrayed as in Western Culture, but instead was an intelligent, strategic leader with a focus on securing the wellbeing of his empire. The book does a fantastic job at highlighting many of Khan’s contributions to the Modern World: increasing international trade, the spread of various technological and artistic inventions.

History of the Mongols. Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World is effectively an extended attempt to rehabilitate the image of Genghis Khan in a much more positive light than is normal for Western historiography. The work is far friendlier to the Mongols and is included in a string of books that have reconceived the personality and life of Genghis Khan.
