ARTICLES RELATED TO Mongol Empire - Overview | | | |  Mongol Empire - Overview: Encyclopedia II - Mongol Empire - OverviewThe notion that the Mongol Empire was tremendously destructive should be viewed with caution.

Rummel estimated that 30 million people were killed during the reign of the Mongol Empire, and the population of China fell by half in fifty years of Mongol rule. However, it should be noted that most of the history which modern historians rely on was written by enemies of the Mongols. Thus, there is always a room for exaggeration. Nonetheless, as David Nicole points out in The Mongol Warlords, "terror and mass extermination of anyone oppos ...

Mongol Empire - Military setup.
Main article: Military advances of Genghis Khan
The Mongol military organization was simple, but effective. The organization was based on an old tradition of the steppe, which was like today’s decimal system: the army was built upon a squad of ten, called an "arban"; ten "arbans" constituted a company of a hundred, called a "jaghun". Ten "jaghuns" made a regiment of a thousand – "mingghan". Ten "mingghans" would then constitute a regiment of ten thousand ("tumen"), ...

| | | | Mongol Empire - Overview: Encyclopedia II - Mongol Empire - Disintegration When Genghis Khan died, a major potential weakness of the system he had set up manifested itself. It took many months to summon the kurultai, as many of its most important members were leading military campaigns thousands of miles from the Mongol heartland. And then it took months more for the kurultai to come to the decision that had been almost inevitable from the start — that Genghis's choice as successor, his third son Ögedei, should indeed become Great Khan. Ögedei was a rather passive ruler and personally self-indulgent, but ...

| | | | Mongol Empire - Overview: Encyclopedia II - Mongol Empire - Silk Road The Mongol expansion throughout the Asian continent from around 1215 to 1360 helped bring political stability and re-establish the Silk Road vis-à-vis Karakorum. With rare exceptions such as Marco Polo or Christian ambassadors such as William of Rubruck, few Europeans traveled the entire length of the Silk Road. Instead traders moved products much like a bucket brigade, with luxury goods being traded from one middleman to another, from China to the West, and resulting ...

| | | | Mongol Empire - Overview: Encyclopedia II - Mongol Empire - After Genghis Khan At first, the Mongol Empire was ruled by Ogedei Khan,Genghis Khan'a third son and designated heir. But after his death in 1241, the fractures which would ultimately crack the Empire began to show. Emnity between the grandchildren of Genghis Khan resulted in a 5 year regency by Ogedei's widow until she finally got her son Guyuk Khan confirmed as Great Khan. But he only ruled two years, and following his death -- he was on his way to confront his cousin Batu Khan, who had never accepted his authority -- another regency followed until finally a ...

| | | | Mongol Empire - Overview: Encyclopedia II - Mongol Empire - Formation Genghis Khan, through political manipulation and military might, united the Mongol tribes under his rule by 1206. He quickly came into conflict with the Jin empire of the Jurchen and the Western Xia in northern China. Under the provocation of the Khwarezmid Empire, he moved into Central Asia as well, devastating Transoxiana and eastern Persia, then raiding into southern Russia and the Caucasus. While engaged in a final war against the Western Xia, Genghis fell ill and died. Before dying, Genghis Khan divided his empire among his sons and imm ...
