The differences and similarities of how the Mongols treated China and Russia consisted of the good use of trade routes, and how the Mongols weren’t strict to Russia. The Mongols controlled china differently from Russia by having a direct rule over them, and by changing their capital to another place, some of the similarities that both china and Russia shared was that their economics dropped and both wanted to conquer different places. The way that the Mongols controlled China and Russia economically had both differences and similarities. One difference of how the Mongols treated China instead of Russia economically was that with China the Mongols had direct rule and wanted to have all control of the Silk Road. Unlike Russia, the Mongols had indirect control over them. In which then, it made China’s class later to be seen that there was poverty everywhere. The Chinese saw this Mongol rule cruel and unacceptable because it led China to a devastating point. Another difference of how the Mongols treated china and Russia was that although the Chinese population decreased due to its economical problems it stayed all together as one nation. In the other hand Russia split up and went to agricultural methods. Those are two economical differences of how the Mongols treated China and Russia. Finally one similarity was that both of Russia’s and China’s economics dropped, and they both dependent on their trades. This means that although the Mongols took over the silk road for the Chinese, they still got a little bit of money from it because they traded good things such as silk and porcelain, and in Russia their economics went down because they were required taxes, meaning that they took money away from them, even if the Russian’s weren’t wiling to do that. Meaning that the Russians and the Chinese depended on their trade because they were asked to give taxes and didn’t have enough money for all that the Mongols asked for. In conclusion you

    During 13th century, the Mongols ruled both China, and Russia. The Mongols had similar and different political and economic effects on these regions. For example, the Khans chose a Russian ruler to take the position as Grand Prince and gave them the authority over other rulers. In contrast, the Mongols gave native Chinese no power within their government, but in fact they brought in Arabs, Europeans, and Persians to help them rule. In addition, during the Yuan Dynasty circa 1279, Kublai Khan insinuated himself into Chinese society by establishing an economic and political system that was familiar to the Chinese such as Confucianism. While in Russia entirely new governmental and economic systems were put into place and Russia became a feudal state. The Mongols also had similar effects, for example, in both regions the Mongols made a positive impact on their economies. They secured important trade routes within the region and contributed their effective trade techniques. Safer Russian trade routes and the Silk Road brought prosperity to these regions.…

    When the Mongolian armies of the Golden Horde started to move west, by the 13th century, Kiev was in a period of decline and Russia was divided into small kingdoms. These Russian kingdoms were unable to unite and create a large army before the Mongols came to attack and conquer their land. Batu, Chinggis Khan’s grandson, invaded in 1236 and defeated Russian armies (after being taken over, the Russians became vassals of the Khan of the Golden Horde). Also the Mongols were mostly negative, Mongol occupation was important to Russia. This is shown through the influence of military and political organization. But most importantly, the Mongols isolated Russia from developments in western European civilization; like the Renaissance and the…

    Although the rise of the Aztec and Mongol empires did not occur in the same time period or in the same region, they are still similar. The biggest similarities are that they both lived almost entirely off of tribute and relied heavily on their armies. However, these similarities also came with differences, like the fact that their armies used different strategies/weapons. Some other differences were that the Aztecs migrated to Mexico, whereas the Mongols were just unified where they already resided. Also, the Aztecs infused religious meaning with war, unlike the Mongols, whose religion was carefully observed. These similarities and differences were what made the Aztecs and Mongols who they were.…

    To improve transportation and communication throughout China, “the Mongol emperors built canals” (Halperin). The Mongols were accepting to other people of other religions and believed that “Just as God gave different fingers to the hands so has He given different ways to men” (Rubruck). The citizens of the Mongol Empire “showed considerable respect to each other and are friendly together, and they willingly share their food with each other, although there is little of it” (Plano Carpini).

The Mongols improved their empire by understanding the importance of communication and uniting all men, who were and were not their citizens.…

    In 1211, Genghis Khan invaded China and took over in about three years. One Chinese scholar wrote: “The Mongols brought violence and destruction to all aspects of China’s civilization. [They were] insensitive to Chinese values, distrustful of Chinese influences, and inept heads of Chinese government.” Genghis used insensitive, violent actions to take control of the Chinese. For example, he burned and robbed cities. In 1227, Genghis Khan died and his empire was divided amongst his sons. The empire continued to expand under Kubilai Khan and at this point it was the largest empire the world had ever seen.

    The most interesting short stories that caught my undivided attention were: “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, and “Jealous Husband Returns in Form of Parrot” by Robert Olen Butler. These stories were both fascinating and intriguing in the sense that they made me feel like if I was the actual character. You could feel the pain and anguish the characters felt, even the desperation. It got to a point that I felt pity for the protagonist whom in both stories where narrating. Here we can see how someone can feel so desperate that they think the only way out is by taking their lives. Both Charlotte Perkins Gilman and Robert Olen Butler created an incredible form of fiction that makes you question if the scenes in the stories can truly happen in reality.…
