The Pub The Mongols! Or How the Known World Was Won
By: Dmitri Chernovolok of Wolves Haven and Arbiter Bibendi One cannot look at the medieval world without looking to the Mongols. The Mongol Empire, founded by your friend and mine Temuchin (Genghis Khan), had one of the greatest impacts on history. It had a greater affect then both Roman Empires, their buddies the Celts and the Crusades. And if you were to ask a Mongolian today they'll more then likely tell you that Genghis and his Mongols conquered the World. And that one phrase, conquered the World, sums it all up. Until the death of Mongke in 1259, it was the closest history had yet witnessed to a centralized world empire. But how did they do it? And why? We'll take a brief look at both. The "how" is pretty easy. But the "why" is not that easy. So I think we'll do the easy stuff first, then move on to the hard part. A Mongol Way of Doing Things Part 1: Arms, Armor and Warfare So you want to know how they did it? Well let's start out with the master of it all, Genghis. Now this guy knew how to make an empire. First off he eliminated his rivals, including his half brother Bekter. With fewer leaders to choose from, other Mongols found it easer to chose Genghis as their leader. Secondly he would reward his followers. So much so that he was known to give his own property to those that were faithful to him. This was the foundation in which Genghis could unite all of his people and some of the neighbors to boot. And it only took him about five years to do it. Not bad for a guy who couldn't read.

The Mongols
Figure 1. The Mongols played an enormously important role in world history. Although a relatively small population, the Mongols established the most extensive empire in histoiry, streaching from Korea to Eastern Europe. Only the Japanese suceessfully defied the Mongols. The Mongols also conquered and influenced many of the major world powers, China, Russia, Persia, amd India. The Mongols defeated the Poles and were set to move into Western Europe. Only the death of thir great leader, Geghis Khan prevented this.
The Mongol People
The Mongols were a nomadic people from Central Asia whose wealth for centuries was based in livestock, sheep, horses, cattle, camel, and goats. They lived in eastern Asia in and ariund modern Mongolia from ancient times. I am not sure at this time as to their relationship to the Huns , another Central Asian people that emerged earlier out of the Central Asian Steppe. The Mongols were Asiatic people of the Ural-Ultaic branch. After coming in contact with the Chinese, trade became increasingly important.
Religion
The traditional Mongol religioin was Shamanism, but many became converted to Buddhism, an import from India over the Silk Road.

Another translation of this source, Francis Woodman Cleaves, The Secret History of the Mongols , was published by Harvard University Press, 1982. The web article includes masculine names, feminine names, and titles; with some notes about meanings of names and about the individuals identified. Note that at least some spellings in literary Mongolian are ambiguous, and therefore some of these transliterations, though perfectly acceptable, may be somewhat inaccurate representationsd of the original pronunciations.

New York: Viking. 1999. 464 pp. US$40.00, paper ISBN 0-670-10011-0. Harvard's John King Fairbank, the late maven of Chinese studies in the United States, once observed that readers often find general histories or reference works engaging and informative until they encounter coverage of their own particular specialty, at which point these works turn from fascinating to frustrating. The Encyclopedia of the Middle Ages, edited by Canadian medievalist Norman Cantor, is one such work. The book aspires to be more than an encyclopaedia on medieval Europe. Asianists will note with approval its recognition that "despite what students of medieval history are accustomed to reading, life did exist outside of Europe in the Middle Ages" and that it will therefore cover "areas such as the West, Asia, and Africa" because "they were all home to a tremendous amount of activity during the Middle Ages" (p. 5). "No longer is a history of the Middle Ages simply a history of the kings and battles of Europe," Cantor writes in his introduction, "and no longer do those very subjects exist unperturbed by developments elsewhere in the world..." (p. 8). Asianists will be pleased to find entries on the Alans, Arpad, the Avars, the Barbarian invasions of Europe, China, the Finns and Finland, the Golden Horde, Hungary, Japan, Kublai Khan (Khubilai Khan), Marco Polo, the Mongols, the Nestorian controversy, Osman I, the Seljuk Turks, Suleyman I and Tamerlane.

Smathers, Reference (Non-Circulating) D114 .B86 1995 This encyclopedia offers good background information on the Middle Ages. It is well organized and a nice reference tool. The encyclopedia is arranged alphabetically with smaller to medium sized entries. Furthermore, it has good cross-referencing using 'see also' notations within the text. The only unfortunate feature of this work is that the articles have a very short selected bibliography. What is superior about this book is the rear matter. One appendix gives medieval rulers by country and dynasty (including dates of their reigns). There are separate appendixes for medieval Islam and one for its rulers. Also, a very nice glossary of terms is included. Finally, the text offers an excellent index searchable by subject, author, people, etc. It contains LOTS of cross-references and very good explanations. Bury, J.B.

Byzantine civilization: (5th century-1453) descended from the eastern half of the Roman Empire; capital was Constantinople; language was Greek; it combined Roman imperial traditions of government with intense pursuit of the [Orthodox] Christian faith; aspects of this culture (including the Orthodox religion) spread into Eastern Europe and Russia during the Kievan Rus period (AD 882-1240) and the Appanage Period (1054-1480).

60. The Mongol Khâns & The Oghullar Of Rum
The mongols liked winter. Frozen rivers and marshes meant that they could ride based on The New Penguin Atlas of medieval history Colin McEvedy, 1992,
http://www.friesian.com/mongol.htm
Mongolian culture in most respects reflected the influence of China. For instance, there are Mongolian terms for the Chinese 60 year calendar cycle. On the other hand, significant other influences came into play. The writing system eventually adopted for Mongolian was the alphabet brought by Nestorian Christian missionaries into Central Asia, which was used to write other Altaic languages related to Mongolian, like Uighur and Manchu. This script is deficient in letters for vowels, which always made it an ambiguous way to write these languages. Under Soviet influence, Mongolian now is mostly written in the Cyrillic alphabet. In religion, Mongolia also went its own way, adopting the Vajrayana Buddhism, or Lamaism, of Tibet . This may have contributed to the military decline of Mongolia, since a large part of the population committed to monasticism does not make for anything like the nation of fierce warriors that stormed across Asia in the 13th century. Thus, Manchu China conquered Mongolia for the first time in its history in 1696. It remained part of China until 1911, when the fall of the Manchus enabled the Mongols, like the Tibetans, to assert their independence. The Chinese, however, enforced their claim to Mongolia by an invasion in 1919. This was successful, but with Soviet help the Chinese were driven out in 1921. Mongolian independence, at least from China, was henceforth under the protection of the Soviet Union. But this also, naturally, made Mongolia subject to Russian experiments in Communism. Stalin's collectivization of agriculture was extended to Mongolia, with the forced settlement of nomads. Many of them, consequently, moved to Chinese Inner Mongolia to escape. Since 1990, Mongolia, like other post-Soviet states, has been struggling to develop a normal life and government free of police state measures and Russian domination.
