MONGOL EMPIRE ----MONGOL EMPIRE---● Created the largest land based empire in history. ● However, despite this achievement the Mongols le a surprisingly small cultural impact, unlike the muslims. ● Mongolia culture remains largely restricted to Mongolia. ● Aer the fall of the Mongol Empires, most returned to the steppes of inner Eurasia or absorbed into the societies they conuered. ----GENGHIS KHAN---● In 1204, Temujin was proclaimed Genghis Khan “universal ruler”. ● Temujin became Genghis Khan because of his ghting ability, loyalty to allies and ability to form alliances with other Mongol tribes. ● He brought all the Mongol tribes into a single confederation, an achievement unheard of before. ● At Genghis Khan, he reorganized the Mongol military into units that were no longer based on the tribal aliations. Instead, high military and political ocials were chosen based on their talents and loyalty to him ● By alimitati tribal aliations Genghis was able to maintain unity. ----CONUEST---● In 1220, the Mongols took over Northern China. e Song Dynasty continued to rule until 1276, when his grandson, Kublai Khan, conuered southern China. ● In 1219, they took over Persia. ● It is important to note that Genghis KHan was a warrior not an administrator. He did not establish a central government for the lands that he conuered. Instead he assigned Mongol overlords to supervise local governments and extract lots of tribute for mongol uses. ● When genghis dies, his heirs divided this empire into four regional empires: China, Central Asia, Afghanistan, Persia, and Russia. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Empire to Empires Mongols ➔ Genghis Khan Islamic empire ➔ Arabic empire ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------...
