How the Mongols Changed the World?
The Mongols are remembered in history for their wars and conquests. Yet in this comprehensive history of the Orda—the western part of the Mongol Empire that emerged after the death of Genghis Khan—Marie Favereau takes readers on a journey through one of the most powerful models of economic integration in world history, demonstrating that Mongol achievements extended far beyond the battlefield.
This state stood at the center of an extraordinary commercial network that connected distant civilizations for the first time. It also possessed a unique political system that rewarded capable administrators and encouraged an innovative economic order. From their capital on the lower Volga River, the Mongols influenced forms of government in Russia and the Islamic world, promoted sophisticated theories about the nature of the world, and peacefully governed numerous cosmopolitan cities.
How the Mongols Changed the World? challenges the assumption that nomadic peoples occupied only the margins of history and reveals that we continue to live in a world profoundly shaped by the Mongols.
