19 1) Why do pastoral peoples get a bad rap in world history? 2) Despite this aforementioned traditional view of pastoral peoples, why is it softening in modernity? 3) Become one with the map on page 535 Next: Wrap-up Mongol Lecture Economics and Impact

20 c.11 Wrap-Up: The Mongol Moment Impact of the Mongols on Dar-al Islam The Mongol Impact on China: Rise of the Yuan The Black Death

21 1. By 1320 s the Il-Khans dominated Armenia, Azerbaijan, Mesopotamia, and Iran (parts of the Middle East) 2.Egypt independent Mamluks drove Mongols out 3. Il-Khan Mongols adopted Buddhism (possibly from Tibetans) 4. Murder of last Abbasid Caliph by Il-Khan brought conflict between: The Il-Khan and The Golden Horde (Occupied Russia, were Muslim)

23 1. Goal: collect as much taxes as possible 2. Method: Tax Farming Private companies or individuals are given contracts to collect a set amount of taxes. They get to keep anything more they collect. What were some of the advantages and disadvantages of this system?

24 1. Short term: Huge income 2. Long term effects: Major economic crisis Tax reduction programs failed too late! Paper money failed no one trusted it! Il-Khans fragmented with nobles fighting each other for scarce resources The Golden Horde attacked and dismembered the Il-Khan empire.

25 THE MONGOL IMPACT ON CHINA Rise of the Yuan

26

27 Inquiry Questions What was the impact of the Mongols on the political structure of China? What was the impact of the Mongols on the economic systems of China? What was the impact of the Mongols on the intellectual and artistic culture of China?

28 Chibu Khan Kublai Khan

29 1271 conquered China and moved capital to Beijing Massive walls built around city Streets made broader and wider Artificial lakes and islands in closed complex ( forbidden city ) Summer palace at Shangdu (Xanadu) In southern Song period - relatively dis-unified Re-united China Brought experts from Middle East, Central Asia to administer China Did a census for tax collection purposes Re-Districted provinces, put under control of governors, increased central control

30 Tax Farming Foreigners brought in to collect taxes Some cities prospered: esp. cities on Silk Roads Re-unification of China revitalized north-south trade along Grand Canal Ports in South China revived due to grain trade Businesses managed by corporations representing investors Paper money issued failed (no trust) Copper coins came back when trade with Japan terminated, helped economy Gentry moved into cities (URBANIZATION) Cities became cosmopolitan, catered to merchant class (like city-states of Italy) New infrastructure improvements: Waterwheels Dams Irrigation systems Many farmers suffered under Mongols: Evictions Brutal Tax Farming Changes to Tax Farming too late (as in Middle East) Farmers forced into servitude Dams and dikes broken Flooding in Yellow River area severe

31 Social status depended on ancestry (end of civil service exam system) Highest to lowest: Mongols Central Asians and Middle Easterners Northern Chinese Southern Chinese INVERSION of old SOCIAL STRATIFICATION\ Confucians alienated from Yuan, disagreed with social ranking system: Merchants given too much status, esp. foreigners Doctors given too much status Doctor s status increased Chinese medicine began integrating native and foreign practices (SYNCRETISM) New literature in Mandarin introduced Impact of Mongolian language on Chinese still present today Manuals on farming, etc. increased yield Syncretism under Pax Mongolica Mongol leaders kept in touch, exchanged new technologies and ideas Il-Khan science & technology exported to China Scholars and texts imported from China to Middle East Observatories set up across Central Asia Algebra and Trig to China; Fractions to Middle East Islamic and Persian medicine to China

32 1. Elevation of status of merchants meant less opportunities for traditional Confucian elite 2. Gentry families went into business instead 3. In countryside, population declined: Bubonic plague Migrations South to avoid the Mongols and flooding 40% of population lost during Yuan ( )

33

34 Micro-predators and human history From the first human ancestors, disease has been a primary threat to life Micro-predators (diseases) undergo a process of natural selection whereby mutations change their infectiousness Most disease start with other species and spread to humans The Avian Flu going around today (a virus limited to birds) has scientists worried

35 Disease has greatly influenced history Major empires were limited or brought down in part by disease: armies decided to pass on India because of the threat of smallpox and malaria suffered from a horrible plague that killed 30% of the population, marking the end of Athenian dominance suffered from disease epidemics, contributing to their downfall

36 After WWI 30 Million died when soldiers returned from the front (20 million Indians) Until very recently, epidemic diseases were a predictable cause of mortality Recent outbreaks of the Ebola Virus in Africa and SARS in Asia have scientists and physicians worried HIV/AIDS in Africa and elsewhere Known diseases develop resistance to antibiotics (as they mutate and adapt); old cures don t always work (e.g. Gonorrhea)

37 Smallpox and Anthrax virus specimens exist and can be made into weapons

38 Y. Pestis bacterium transferred from rodents in central Asia along Silk Road Mongols facilitated trade, which aided the spread of disease Mongols used biological warfare against residents of Kaffa, a Genovese trade entrepot Genovese merchants fled the city into the ports of Italy and France, setting off an epidemic

47 1. The most difficult and protracted of the Mongols many conquests was in A) Persia. B) Russia. C) China. D) Japan. 2. Which of the following was a way in which the Mongols contributed to the globalization of the Eurasian world? A) In providing a secure environment for traders, they facilitated long-distance international commerce. B) Their immunity to several deadly diseases allowed them to maintain long-distance trade routes even as agricultural societies along them succumbed to epidemics. C) Their promotion of Islam as the only true faith in the empire gave the whole empire a shared culture. D) The Mongol conquest of Vietnam and Japan allowed these two regions to fully integrate into the Eurasian trade networks for the first time. 3. In comparison to the Mongol conquests of Persia and China, Mongol rule in Russia A) did not use local elites to govern. B) was not accompanied by Mongol occupation. C) penetrated to the village level. D) created a mixed race population.

48 4. Key Term: A way of life in which people depend on herding of domesticated animals for their food; generally speaking these cultures exist in areas where farming is impossible. 5. Their arms are bows and arrows, sword and mace; but above all the bow, for they are capital archers, indeed the best that are known... When they are going on a distant expedition that take no gear with them except two leather bottles for mild, a little earthen ware pot to cook their meat in, and a little tent to shelter them from rain... Their horses are trained so perfectly that they will double hither and thither, just like a dog, in a way that is quite astonishing In truth, they are stout and valiant soldiers, and inured by war. This quote is referring to whom?
