trail of ghenus khan
In this trial of Mr. Genghis Khan (Johnny) vs. Mr. Genghis Khan not being civilized, I believe that the Mongol Warrior (Adam) helped bring out the fact that Mr. Khan was indeed innocent of this accusation. This Mongol warrior brought forth the fact that they did indeed give the civilizations a chance to surrender to the Mongols. The Mongol warrior also acknowledged the laws that Mr. Khan had made, (This was backed up by the Historian Juvaini (Rachel) and the research that was done by that person). He also brought forth the fact that, many people thought that there warfare, was part of being civilized, but when we asked the prosecuting witnesses, (the ones before the Mongol Warrior was called up), what the definition of being civilized was, many of the prosecuting witnesses did not involve warfare into their definition of being civilized. The Mongol warrior also helped us when the other prosecuting attorneys tried to ask him questions that were related to warfare, instead of being related to the main question, “is Mr. Khan civilized?”, we then brought them to a dead end, with us (the defensive attorney’s) putting objections towards their questions, because their question’s had nothing to do with the main topic of the trial. The prosecuting side then ran out of questions to ask, due to irrelevance of the questions that they were asking. On the opposing side, the Mustasim, caliph of Baghdad (Harrison) presented the most convincing evidence, to go against Mr. Genghis khan. This witness was a victim of the torment, this man was, I believe, rolled up in a carpet drug around beaten and trampled until dead. This man also had answers for most of our questions, and was ready for almost anything. In this simulation, I liked that we all worked together as a group, and we each had an important part in the trial. When we work as a group, the work seemed to go faster. For instance, my partner and I were both defensive attorney’s, and when it came to looking for questions

    Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, we are here today to determine the conclusion of Genghis Khan. The prosecution presents various reasons why my client should be sentence to death, but they did not tell you, the jury, why he did what he did. They also did not even address the positive contribution Genghis has promoted.…

    The nomads of central Asia during the thirteenth century returned to center stage in world history. The Mongols ended or interrupted the great postclassical empires while extending the world network of that era. Led by Chinggis Khan and his successors, they brought central Asia, China, Persia, Tibet, Iraq, Asia Minor, and southern Russia under their control. The states formed dominated most of Asia for one and a half centuries. The Mongol success was the most formidable nomadic challenge to the global dominance of the sedentary, civilized core civilizations since the first century C.E. The Mongols often are portrayed as barbarian, destructive…

    In my opinion, having a technological advantage does not always mean you will win. Some didn 't have any technological benefits but they still won, and some had many technological advantages but they lost. In Jack Weatherford 's “Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World”, Genghis Khan 's conquest were made possible by his brilliant military strategies. He was ingenious at getting ideas from different travelers he met, such as Marco Polo. He also used traditional Mongol military tactics and more “modern” tactics such as guns. The territory Genghis Khan conquered was made possible mostly by his political abilities and partially by some new weapons. He allowed people he conquered all freedom as long as they obeyed his overall authority.…

    Anonymous monks in Novgorod, Russia recorded the event of a Mongol invasion and the horrors that came with it, writing “They likewise killed the Knyaz and the Knyaginya, and men, women, and children, monks, nuns and priests, some by fire, some by sword, and violated nuns, priests’ wives, good women and girls in the presence of their mothers and sisters… And we, indeed, having seen it, were terrified and wept with sighing day and night over our sins…”. We can probably count this source as reliable because it was written by Monks, and it is in their religion, which by they live their life that they should not lie. In a letter to the Great Khan from Pope Innocent IV, another religious source, he writes “and with a fury still unabated you do not cease from braking the bonds of natural ties, sparing neither sex nor age, you rage against all indiscriminately with the sword of chastisement.”. His tone is almost accusatory, but there is fear and disbelief at what the Great Khan has done. We cannot mark this source as reliable, however, because in his letter he writes “according to what we have heard”, and therefore has not witnessed anything he is accusing the Khan…

    When reading these stories of the rasping truth and then reading the responses of the accused men, I became extremely enraged. They would contradict themselves and always blame the laws, that they were merely following orders, "Accused Boger would you care to reconsider your statement that you never fired a shot in the camp. Accused #2: I stand by my statement today and a thousand years from now I will stand by it. Not that I would have been afraid to shoot. I would only have been carrying out orders" 2. This man then continues to respond on the next page with "I did once"3. This really agitates me. Almost every one of the accused denied it first then eventually gave up and started to blame the obedience that led them to do it. They then start to try and make it sound like they should be victims too. "As an old soldier I was able to save many lives by helping with the evacuations. My own son was killed"4. This is where an accused person tries to make it seem like they should take pity on him. His son died? What about the…

    The Mongol empire was larger than any empire of its time, covering an area almost as large as Africa. Despite this fact, its people were generally known as brutal savages who lived to destroy civilizations. However, Jack Weatherford believes otherwise. He recognizes Mongolia’s leader, Genghis Khan, as a highly influential ruler instead of a blood-thirsty barbarian. In fact, Weatherford attributes many aspects of the Renaissance and European culture in general to Genghis Khan’s rule. In his best-seller, Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World, Weatherford describes not only the history of this great Mongolian ruler,…

    You might say with Genghis Khan being the most productive biological father of all time, their empire should’ve persevere longer than it did. The Mongols were pastoralists. The Mongols were blustery warriors that some might even call barbaric. But that’s not the case at all, Mongols were the first to master riding a horse in full stride and having enough meticulousness to kill their target which made them like human tanks.…

    They looked up to China’s culture hoping to absorb it, but by doing so, they lost strength, becoming impotent as an empire. (Schlager and Lauer) As the years passed, it is clear that the Mongols’ focus veered from their violence and resilience to becoming more “sophisticated” in terms of their culture. They showed an enormous amount of care towards how other countries viewed them and their image in the world, insistent that the one way to be respected was to have a refined culture. Rashid al-Din, an Ilkhanid bureaucrat and historian, states that toward the end of the reign of Ghazan Khan, the monarch proposed to pay his troops by issuing them iqtas. He asserted that “at this time, most of the soldiers had the desire for estates and for the (practice of) agriculture”. (Morgan and Morgan 432) The soldiers themselves, who had championed with their adaptability and speed, were now opting to settle and cultivate land instead, disrupting armies and impeding the Mongols from sustaining the territories they had in their possession and invading new…

    Arriving in this world with a blood clot in the palm of his hand , Genghis Khan was destined to be a hero. In 1167, Genghis Khan was born to Yisugei, Chieftain of the Kiyat-Borjigid, and his wife Ho'elun. He was named Temujin (which means blacksmith) after a Tatar Chieftain his father had just captured. As a young boy, Temujin experienced many hardships after his father was poisoned by a group of Tartars. This loss of their leader caused the Kiyat tribe to scatter, leaving Temujin and his family alone. Yet, with much will power and determination Temujin developed into an intelligent, brave warrior at an early age.…

    Genghis Khan is reputed to have said, “The greatest happiness is to scatter your enemy, to drive him before you, to see his cities reduced to ashes, to see those who love him shrouded in tears” (StackExchange). Such a quote suggests a man who not only lived a violent life, but also enjoyed it, and feeds into a popular view of him as a bloodthirsty, murdering raider who waged war on Europe and Asia a thousand years ago leaving cities in flames and nothing but destruction in his wake. Despite all his flaws, Genghis Khan is arguably one of the greatest men to ever live, accomplishing things that lesser men can only dream of. History has chosen to skip over his other accomplishments, focusing only on the violence. While it is true that Genghis…

    Although the Christian and Muslim warriors were of extreme cruelty, the Mongols brutality and carelessness was far greater because of their battle tactics, physiological warfare, and weaponry. These ‘barbarians’ captured a surplus amount of land in a stunning amount of time with questionable war tactics. Despite the brutality of the Mongols, Christian and Muslin warriors began to become more and more merciless. All three of these groups of warriors prove to be dangerous and cruel, but the Mongols seem to have the perfect mix of terror and destruction to make them the most brutal.…

    The life story of Genghis Khan fascinates because of the significant strides he made in life. Unlike his grandson who inherited power, he had to work hard to reach the position of power. While his rise to power was in itself a major achievement, his success to unite and organize a formidable force made up of Mongols, who were essentially nomads, is a reflection of his intellectual acuteness. Even though also acknowledging that his grandson, Kublai Khan, was also successful in conquering the parts of China that his grandfather did not, the organization and coordination that Genghis Khan established was essentially the template that was being used.…
