Chapter 11: The Mongol Monument
These Mongols were pastoral nomads who disdained farming while entering their economic lives around the herds of animals. Mongols did not construct elaborate cities or architecture. But left an indelible mark on the historical development of the Afro Eurasian Empire.
When it came to Pastoral Societies they were generally in small and scattered encampments of related kinfolk rather than in villages. The Pastoral people organized themselves in kingship like clans. The most powerful society was Chinggis Khan, they were able to weld together tribal alliances to become a powerfully united empire. Temujin = Chinggis Khan (Universal Ruler). The key to the Mongols success was in their organized, powerful, army.
The Mongols religion was more of an acquiring type of thing. They were interested in learning others religions. The Mongol people were innovators, they innovated items such as; horse harnesses, saddles, iron stirrups, forms of armor, and swords.
To touch on the Mongol Empire...it was huge. Unlike the Turks, the Mongols conquered, defeated, subordinate and exploited people. The Turks language and culture was more so a flourishment.
Key person: Marco Polo...he claimed that the Mongols maintained 10,000 stations in all regions and 200,000 horses.
The invasion in China...The Mongols invasion of Northern China began in 1209 and went until 1279. The invasion was to extract as much wealth as possible from the country's advanced civilization. The Mongols made use of the Chinese administrative techniques of taxation and their postal system. New Chinese dynastic title, the YUAN. Transferred their capital from the Karakorum in Mongolia to what is now known as Beijing.
Mongols were also in Persia were they made extensive use of Persian bureaucracy, during the region of Ghazan they made efforts to repair the damage. The Mongols entered Russia between 1237 and 1240, they encountered a relatively new third wave civilization (fringe of Christendom).
The section of this chapter also talked about the Black Death. This plague claimed thousands of humans causing a contraction in population 70-90% affected.
