Historical events are those which determine who we are now and what journeys we have walked to reach to this point. Considering the importance of historical events and especially of Genghis Khan Empire in our country and my personal interest in the field of history I have chosen the Legacy of Genghis Khan Mogul as my Monograph title. From the time I was at high school I was interested in reading historical books, and it gave me the opportunity to think deeply about who we are and how our nation struggled through history.
At the time of high school I read about Genghis Khan, and become interested to search more about him, because his legacy and what he did changed the history his empire was one of the greatest empire on earth. And how his attention turned on Persia and Khorasan (Afghanistan) is quite important. Because at first he was interested in having trade with these nations but how it turned to be vice versa is quite astonishing. Since I believe studying the history of Genghis is important for what he did and for that it’s closely related to our history I have decided to have a broader research on the legacy of Genghis. Before stating who will read it and who will benefit from this Monograph I am going to summarize in one paragraph who was Genghis and what he did.
Genghis khan also called Temujin was born in Mongolia in 1162, he was born in a noble family. He was the first emperor of Yuan Dynasty. His father grandfather was a khan in Mongolia. Genghis khan father was also a the chief of a tribe. It’s said married to four wives. In 1206 he was elected the khan of whole Mongolia. He unified the Mongolia and all tribes, made a great army and conquered many countries around the Mongolia. He was the founder of Mongolian empire. After many years of struggles and efforts he died in age of 66. As said by him he was buried secretly in Mongolia. After his dead his emperor was divided among his sons.
Genghis khan was a national hero for Mongolia. He was a great leader and excellent politician. With his strategies he built such a foundation that its empire continued after his death for 150 years growing. Though he was liked in Mongolia but in other nations he was kind of hated. His soldiers were brutal and killed many people any way what he was he could establish a great empire that till now we see its effects in Mongolia and china
Anyone who reads about him is to shed tears, because in one sense he destroyed many beautiful cities and killed many innocent people, I believe it’s needed for everyone to read about him. Moreover, this monograph will be advantageous for anyone who wants to know more about Genghis Khan, and also for the students who are studying history field. It functions as a rich and reliable source that will contain everything about him. Once Genghis Khan said,
“I am the punishment of God. If you hadn’t committed great sins, God would not have sent such a punishment like me upon you.”

Many who felt this way spent time in the capital city, seeing the huge empire function firsthand. The idea that Genghis Khan was a bringer or order and peace is evident, as shown by the Khan’s shaman, (Doc. 1). However, the shaman may have been influenced by his elite position in contact with the Khan himself. Writing in a book that was public, he may have intentionally praised Genghis Khan as a peace-bringer, as it could help advance his own position in the eyes of the Khan. Not only native Mongols, but also European visitors viewed the Mongols as a well-organized, productive force. The Mongols had an impressive system of accountability in the military, (Doc. 3) and good law enforcement in the cities, (Doc. 5). These statements indicate the belief that Mongol government was both just and disciplined. Lastly, some Muslims also held the Mongols in esteem for their good government, describing how it was possible to travel far and wide in their territories without fear of robbery, (Doc. 8). People in contact with and conquered by the Mongols were not only impressed by their ability to organize and provide peace to their empire, they were impressed by the vast wealth of the Mongols, as…

The effects of Mongol expansion include increased violence and the increase in security in trading and industry. As an example of increased violence, “the Mongols now descended from the walls and began to slay and plunder.. They then drove all the survivors, men and women, out onto the plain; (Document 1)” This evidence describes how violent the Mongols were when they entered a city in Persia known as Nishapur. The acts of violence being described in this event shows that other societies are apprehensive about the Mongols, for this instance on their strictness. The strictness of the Mongols is what causes them to be a fierce, violent empire. Another effect of Mongol expansion comes from the increase in trade security. As it is described, “were it not…

Conditions were bearable in the winter and thriving in the summer. The Nomads devoted their entire life to taking care of the animals. Consequentially, this devotion made the Mongols vulnerable and somewhat weak in the early years of their development. The tribes depended on alliances because they had to depend on others to survive. Therefore, there was a great bond between tribes. Furthermore, this all changed when a charismatic leader, Genghis Khan, came to power and united the Mongol tribes in the Thirteenth Century. Genghis Khan’s coming to power was one of the most remarkable events in history. In 1167, Genghis Khan was born under the name Temujin. His father was the leader of the Kiyad sub-clan and also controlled a small group of clans. After his father was killed by a rival clan group of the Mongol’s, Temujin was forced to assume power over his father’s tribe. However, because of this young age, Temujin was not trusted and he, his step-brothers, and his mother were forced into a life of hardship. In the beginning, he had little political power and few followers. Soon, Temujin was…
