    Chinggis khaan brought century long peace in euroasia. The world at that time experienced the true globalization and free trade under Mongol rule. The Mongols changed the world forever.

    One of The reasons why the surrender rule was established was because if the mongols kept meeting resistances then their soldier numbers would reduce to zero eventually due to casualties. Therefore, they had to reinforce this rule.
    This is a very good and important lecture. Most of the world still don’t know much about the mongol empire and how sophisticated and powerful they were. Most thinks they are just a bunch of hit and run savages. That’s the biggest misconception about the mongols.

    Professor Vajda left out one piece of important information.Around 16:00 min mark,he said Chinggis Khan refused to pay tribute to the golden king of Jin dynasty,and it led to the war between Mongols and Jurchid.Even though that was one of the reason that led to war,in 1150's Ambagai Khan,who was the cousin of Khabul Khan(Grandfather of Temujin) was kidnapped and executed by then Jin dynasty king.Main reason Temujin refused tribute was to exact revenge on the Jin dynasty for the murder of Ambagai

    Excellent lecture, obviously Professor Vajda enjoys what he's doing. It's great to get another view of history - Westerners often center world history in the West, and we've clearly marginalized the East's influence over "western civilization." Great points made, interesting topic, well delivered. Kudos to Dr. Vajda and the folks who recorded and shared this lecture.

      The Chinese belong to the 'mongoloid race', as do the Yakutians. Their features are adapted to withstand a very cold climate. The eyes are protected from cold winds: the epicanthal fold; eye socket is relatively larger with extra fat insulation; nose is flatter so that winds are not deflected into the eyes (and less cornea exposed). The vascular system reacts cyclically to cold: constricting blood flow to extremities, followed by increased blood flow preventing frostbite and ensuring muscles in fingers (and feet) work better during this time.
      The Yakuts have lived in the same region since at least 2000 B.C. China must have experienced migration from these North Asian regions (how long ago?) The Han Chinese developed a civilisation based on cities and agriculture; whereas the Mongols remained nomadic. The Chinese called nomadic peoples in the region of Mongolia, the Xiongdu. The Indians called the same people the Huna.

    Thanks Pittninj for clarify the Mongol origin. I was doing research about my root, which it lead me to the Mongol empire. I was totally at odds were I have Mongol blood line. I always thought I was Han Chinese, But my ancetors was in fact Mongol? It seem to me that Kublai Khan really mix up all races. The other questions is during the 100,000 years, do the Mongolian consider them self a turkish type peoples or they came from a straight up race with no interascial marriages?

He was probably the wealthiest man of his time but he didn't care the luxury,didn't give a damn to the wordly pleasures He was a real nomad and stayed true to his belief,kept his nomadic lifestyle till his death He was the coolest man(brave,tough,loayl,resourceful) He is the greatest overachiever.To me his is the hero

      He was born to rule. He was a fair and supremely great ruler. There can be no peace without bloodshed.
      It’s a double edge sword. I would say he was good and bad depends on how you look at it. If your country is doing well then you don’t need anyone to mind your your business. Why would you want to be a vassal to any nation?
      But if your country is weak and being bullied by others then by submitting to the Mongols you enjoy peace and harmony, enjoying your own culture and religion. The only thing you lose is paying some minor yearly tributes. It’s well worth it.
      Personally I would prefer living under his rules rather than under my own corrupted government, or under some other bad tyrants. Wouldn’t you?
      To me, god sent him to revolutionize the trading world as well as resolving a lot of religious differences that also resulted in numerous deaths.

    Speaking of Hun, I was taught Hunnu and Hun are the same, one is Asian looking Huns, and the other is Western looking Huns, but all came from Turkey? Many historian are also confuse too. Some Germans claim their ancetors are Huns, some say they are Viking? Hungarians say they too are Huns? Turkey peoples say they are the first Hun? It looks to me like Euroasia and Centralasia have identity crisis. Thank You!

      The Chinese recorded the peoples of the Asian Steppes in the First Century C.E. There were a number of nomadic tribal groups. The Xiongdu was the name that they gave to the Mongolians. They gave the same name to the Huns, indicating that they occupied a similar region nearly 1,000 years before Genghis Khans Mongols. In India the same people were called the Huna.
      The Germanic Tribes, the Goths, Visigoths, Ostrogoths, and Vandals moved down towards Rome to get away from the Huns. The Romans described the Huns as having 'flat faces' and 'swarthy skin'. The Romans gave them land to settle on (not too close to Rome). That region is now called Hungary. In the Hungarian National Anthem tribute is paid to Attila's father as a founder of Hungary. If the Huns were not Mongols, they were closely related to them.

    It was not the largest Empire in history, in fact it was the second largest. The British Empire both in land area and world wide population was larger. Furthermore the British Empire was a global Empire and covered 35.5 million sq klms while the Mongal Empire was land based and mostly steppe and desert.
    I understand your enthusiasm for the topic, but that is no
    excuse for making a statement that is blatantly untrue.

      The Mongolian Empire was four times larger than the Roman Empire, and twice the size of Alexander the Great's Empire. It had reached its peak with Genghis's grandsons. It was an explosion from the Asian Steppes -- and not meant to last (the Leaders would return to Mongolia to elect a new Khan). This would not have been planned but better than trying desperately to hang onto a dying Empire.

    You think know and your friend know about history gangiz Khan monglan Old monglan thay turkic family group gangiz Khan black tatar now modern monglan kalkh thay are mixed with Mancho Tibet Chinese and thay don't Relationship gangiz Khan don't give Rong information for people I know history about monglan gangiz Khan. Any way The answer is that the present Mongols do not belong to the Genghis dynasty and are mostly non-Mongols, that is, non-Turks, and many have long called themselves Mongols because of their "boast" and boasting. , for misusing the name of the Mongols.
    Khawaja Rashid al-Din Fadlallah, in his book "Historical Society" since he is a contemporary of the same Mongols, repeatedly refers to the abuse of the Mongolian name by "non-Mongols" and even claims that some tribes call it unjustly. "Babur" is older than the Mongolian name "objection", meaning they felt "shame and shame" (54), but abusing their position from the Genghis Khan government, they considered themselves Mongols.
    Khaja Rashid al-Din writes: “At this time, due to the government of Jankikiz Khan (Genghis Khan) and Urug (family), other Turkic tribes such as Glaire, Tatars, Averat, Onkut, Kiryat, Neman, Tangut, etc. , each their own. a specific name. It was a special title. They proudly call themselves Mughal although they have rejected this name in the past, and the [interesting] children are now out there and have long thought they attributed the Mongolian name, which it isn't. ”, In ancient times, a people from a group of nomadic Turkic tribes.
    Khaja Rashid al-Din explicitly mentions the misuse of the Mongolian name in other pages of his book, and writes in the second part of his book: The Turkic tribes were an ethnic group and this time their government was given to other tribes with their size and glory. a special name for this sentence. (56)
    Khaja Rashid al-Din, the vizier of Uljat and Ghazan Khan, once again misuses the names of other tribes of the Mughals in a separate chapter, writing: “There are also tribes from the Bedouin community that have recently become known as Mughals. ”(57)
    Despite all the successive and important promises made by the patriarchal minister regarding the abuse of the name of other tribes by the Mongols, most of the Genghis Khan dynasty left Mongolia and the world. Later, instead of "tribes" "like the Mongols" (similar), but "in the old days they were ashamed of this name", but preferred to call themselves "Mongols" at appropriate times. and the lands they occupy are "Mongolia." The main capital of the Turks, where historical inscriptions such as the "Kuok Turks" of the Turkish tribes were removed, and with all patience and pride, is known as "Utkin" in the same lands.
    However, the Khalkha, Han, Manchu, Hui and Dor tribes live in the country, which is now known as "Mongolia". However, "Inner Mongolia" still houses only 17% of its population of 24 million. These are called Mongols and the rest are "non-Mongolian" tribes It is natural that the Turks also have large and diverse communities in Western Mongolia. That is, even the "fake Mughal" makes up no more than 17% of the Mongolian population, and the remaining 83% are not Mongols or Turks.

    i am always amazed at how people seem to focus on the size and not the fact that much of the territory of the Mongol “Empire” is empty tundra, desert and steppe. in terms of longevity their “empire” was a flash in the pan compared to Rome or some Chinese dynasties. as far as being influential other than in dealing death and destruction i can’t think of any contribution the Mongols made to the world. can anyone name 3 advances in mathematics made by the Mongols? how about 3 advances in medicine? does any country follow the Mongol legal system the way the the Roman Law is foundational for countries in the West? how about 3 structures they built that still stand that they built without the aid of Chinese, Persian or other outside helpers? how about literature anyone name 2 or 3 Great mongol poets from the empire’s heyday? sculptors or painters? is their language spoken anywhere outside of Mongolia like English and Spanish are? looks like the Mongols only power was their ability to invade, attack and destroy at will. they engaged in destruction and extermination on a level not even the Nazis did. they murdered men women and children with out batting an eye and when it was completely unnecessary. all the talk about trade and postal service is crap. how many people in Europe do you actually think were able to see much less buy stuff from China? think peasants and tradesmen were wearing silk shirts and eating General Tso's chicken all across Europe? how many letters and packages do you think were being sent from London to Baku? the notion that they were engaged in some effort to bring the world together through trade and ideas is completely absurd. ideas and tech that travelled across the Mongol empire were by accident not by design. cultural exchange like the Black Death was an unintended consequence of the Genghis Khan and the Mongols, and of course no one mention how the story ends. were the Mongols better off at the end of their run as when Genghis Khan started it?” the answer would be NO! between China, Russia and the Ottomans they were nearly destroyed. China not only crushed them but annexed the best lands leaving the mongols only mountains, steppe and the Gobi desert. the majority of Mongols now live in China as a minority than in Mongolia. how's that for success?

    Korea(Goryo dynasty AD918~1392) and Mongolia fought for about 30 years(AD1231~1254) and Moglolia invaded 9 times (9 wars) but they could't conqure the Korea.
    Finally they agreed to get peace talks and for the Korean prince to get marry Kuhbilai Khan's youngest daughter.
    But the diplomacy formation was made that Mogolia is Empire state and Korea to be a kingdom who support the Mogolia.
    Those who thought the formal relationship was too humiliating rebeled and they fought against to the Korean government army and Mogolia until AD1273.
    Korean princes who will be the kings should marry with Mogolian princess. and one Korean woman became the empress of Mogolia, the drama about it is well known korean drama 'Empress Ki.'' en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empress_Ki_(TV_series).
    Korea was not in the direct rulling of Mongolia, it was the same relation as Ming China (AD1368~1644) and Chosun Korea( Korean dynasty before republic , AD1392~1910) so to speak .. Empire state and Kingdom except three conditions that one was the marrage between Korean prince who was designated to be king and Mogolia princess
    and second was the detachement of inspectors who were to monitor the Korea's rebellion.
    Third Korea should send a lot of unmarried yong women to the Mogol dynasty as court ladies .. one of them was the Empress Ki.
    It was matrimonial alliance (marrage ally) and 4 Goryo kings married Mogolian princesses and the matrimonial alliance was from the request of Goryo Korea The first king with 1 Mogolian princess and one noble daughter and the second king with 2 Mogolian princess and one noble and the third king with one Mogolian princess and the last king with one Mogolian Empire's relatives's daughter.(The royal court in dynasty era in Asia permit the polygamy, so Goryo King could have many wives incuding Korean)
    As if Chosun Korea was not a part of Ming China, Goryo Korea was not a part of Mongol Empire..
    At that time Mogol and Goryo(old dynasty of Korea) was very very unique relations defferent to any other rulled area. It was matrimonial alliance.
