Inner Mongolia and Various Nomadic Empires
I HAVE NO CLUE! Mongolia (i /mɒŋˈɡoʊliə/; Mongolian: Монгол улс (help·info), literally Mongol country/nation) is a landlocked country in East and Central Asia. It is bordered by Russia to the north and the People's Republic of China to the south, east and west. Although Mongolia does not share a border with Kazakhstan, its western-most point is only 38 kilometres (24 mi) from Kazakhstan's eastern tip. Ulaanbaatar, the capital and largest city, is home to about 38% of the population. Mongolia's political system is a parliamentary republic.
The area of what is now Mongolia has been ruled by various nomadic empires, including the Xiongnu, the Xianbei, the Rouran, the Gökturks and others. The Mongol Empire was founded by Genghis Khan in 1206. After the collapse of the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongols returned to their earlier pattern of constant internal conflict and occasional raids on the Chinese borderlands. In the 16th and 17th centuries, Mongolia came under the influence of Tibetan Buddhism. At the end of the 17th century, most of Mongolia had been incorporated into the area ruled by the Qing Dynasty. During the collapse of the Qing Dynasty in 1911, Mongolia declared independence, but had to struggle until 1921 to firmly establish de facto independence from the Republic of China, and until 1945 to gain international recognition.
As a consequence, it came under strong Russian and Soviet influence; in 1924, the Mongolian People's Republic was declared, and Mongolian politics began to follow the same patterns as the Soviet politics of the time. After the breakdown of communist regimes in Eastern Europe in late 1989, Mongolia saw its own Democratic Revolution in early 1990, which led to a multi-party system, a new constitution in 1992, and transition to a market economy.
At 1,564,116 square kilometres (603,909 sq mi), Mongolia is the 19th largest and the most sparsely populated independent country in the world, with a population of around 2.9 million people. It is also

    Mongolian peoples had held brief periods of power in central Asia. They established kingdoms in north China in the fourth and tenth centuries C.E.

    Although Mongolian rule fell long ago, its influence can still be seen today. In Russia and China, the Mongol era brought a change in political power. The Khans, or “Great Leaders”, ruled both places, although not equally. China was directly ruled by the Mongols, seeing that China hosted them in the Yuan province, while Russia was given a sense of self rule. The Mongols still claimed taxes and sought goods from Russia, but did not actually occupy it as they did in China. The lack of occupancy in Russia eventually led to the downfall of the Mongol rule there seeing that there was no opposing force to govern them, thus putting power back to the Russians, and creating what we know Russia as today.…

    During 13th century, the Mongols ruled both China, and Russia. The Mongols had similar and different political and economic effects on these regions. For example, the Khans chose a Russian ruler to take the position as Grand Prince and gave them the authority over other rulers. In contrast, the Mongols gave native Chinese no power within their government, but in fact they brought in Arabs, Europeans, and Persians to help them rule. In addition, during the Yuan Dynasty circa 1279, Kublai Khan insinuated himself into Chinese society by establishing an economic and political system that was familiar to the Chinese such as Confucianism. While in Russia entirely new governmental and economic systems were put into place and Russia became a feudal state. The Mongols also had similar effects, for example, in both regions the Mongols made a positive impact on their economies.

    Although taking a harsher approach to conquering China, the Mongols’ barbarity does not compare to the impact they have made improving the country. The leader of the Mongols, Genghis Khan, had only one objective to bring the Mongol clans of the region under one leadership. Years later, his grandson, Kubilai Khan, maintained ties with other khanates achieving security across much of Asia. This period is called pax Mongolica or “the Mongolian peace.” Kubilai expanded his holdings in China by defeating the Sung Empire and establishing a new dynasty called the Yuan Dynasty. For the first time in three hundred years China was once again a united country. The Mongols were a very strong empire and through their…

    During the 1200s, many people were affected by the violence and brutality of the Mongols. Their empire spread from northern China all the way to Russia and Europe, just on the backs of their horses. Every Mongol leader had one motive in mind - to conquer and kill. These ruthless soldiers spent their lives travelling and conquering many towns and major cities, leaving nothing behind but messages of their defeat. The Barbarians were proved to be truly ¨barbaric¨ by the writings of John of Plano Carpini, Mongolian leaders, and outlooks of non- Mongolian people.…

    Another reason for the Mongols being able to create such an extensive empire was their laws and governance. All Mongolians were governed by a law created by Genghis Khan called Yassa. Yassa means order or decree. One of the main laws in the code was that “the rank shared much of the hardship as the common man” (The Mongol Empire). This meant that all people should help others in their empire. Anyone who defied the Mongol law would meet the death penalty. Their empire was governed by a non-democratic system in which the Mongol chiefs met with Genghis khan to discuss domestic and foreign policies. They decided to create an extensive postal system in which merchants and messengers could do their jobs better. A national seal was also created. Taxes…

    1. The conquest of Canaan as described in these two sources has a lot in common. First off both of the accounts show that the people of Israel were invading all kinds of foreign people. They had received instructions from God on how to go about obtaining this land. In both of the two accounts the people are commanded to invade, conquer, and then exterminate all the people living in these cities. There are exceptions to this though; Rehab and the man who showed the spies where to enter are two exceptions. Also they are to put both male and female to the sword. Also many times they are also told by God to burn the cities. The accounts do differ though. In the Joshua account the people are obedient to God's will. (That is killing and burning these…
