In
The mid-twelfth century.The Mongols were just one of manys peoples in the
Eastern grasslands,neither particularly numberous nor especially advanced.
Then,Mongolians began to expand because The
Decline of annual average temperature caused the survival crisis. With the
Shrinking of pastures, Mongolians and other nomads have to look beyond the
Grasslands to get more food from the agricultural world. The second reason for
Mongolia's sudden rise is the emergence of Genghis Khan. Genghis Khan and his successors were able to conquer
Asia and Europe not only because of the Mongolian army's strong fighting
Ability and advanced weapons, but also because of their army's fighting methods
And skills.2222. The success of the
Mongols in ruling vast territories was due in large part to their willingness to incorporate other ethnic
Groups into their armies and governments . Whatever their original country or
Religion ,those who served the Mongols loyally
Were rewarded . The Mongols were
Also open to trying new military technologies .To attack they employed Chinese catapults .At
First Turks in Afghanistan were more
Powerful ,they adopted the better model .The
Mongols also used exploding arrows and gunpowder projectiles developed
By the Chinese . The Mongols made good use of intelligence and tried to
Exploit internal divi - sions in the countries they attacked .Thus in north
China they appealed to the Khitans ,who
Had been defeated by the Jurchens a century earlier ,to join them in attacking the Jurchens .In Syria they
Exploited the resentment of Christians
Against their Muslim rulers . 22Genghis
Khan and his descendants used these methods to gradually expand to Europe,
Poland in the west, India in the south, Japan in the East, Siberia in the
North, Moscow in Russia in the northwest, Egypt in Africa in the southwest,
Java in Indonesia in the southeast, Myanmar and Vietnam in the south.222The
Mongols adapted their methods of
Government to the existing traditions of each place they ruled ,and the regions went their separate
Ways . In China the Mongols resisted
Assimilation and purposely avoided many Chinese practices. In Central Asia ,Persia ,and Russia the Mongols tended
To merge with the Turkish groups already
There and ,like them ,converted to Islam .222In conclusion, Genghis Khan
Launched the largest war in human history, created the largest country in the
World, and was the most influential person in the world history.
