World History with Mr. Golden __________________________________________________________ The Far East – Genghis Khan

Objective: ________________________________________________________ FLWBAT describe the effects of Mongol rule in China - (that’s right, we’re looking in on the other side of the world for a change!)

Agenda: ________________________________________________________ - Review - Cornell notes - Guided reading - DBQ (What’s that?!?! I’m scared…) - Closing - We’re done!

Cornell Notes: ________________________________________________________ Keywords go on the left side Notes/definitions go on the right side

The Silk Road ________________________________________________________ o A major trade route that connected China with Europe o New goods, a lot of money, and CULTURAL DIFFUSION! Don’t forget the PLAGUE!

The Mongols: ________________________________________________________ Just like Europe, Asia is full of warring kingdoms: The Mongols in Eastern Asia are just one of those kingdoms which is made up of dozens of smaller tribes

The Mongols: ________________________________________________________ Genghis Khan: o Born as “Temujin”, he renamed himself Genghis Khan (“Ruler of All”) after he united the Mongol tribes o Moved to conquer all neighboring lands o It’s estimated that he killed roughly 40 million people during his 21 years of conquest Resisting cities were destroyed Cooperating cities paid Two words: STONE COLD.

Comparing Empires: ________________________________________________________ Alexander the Great: About 2 million square miles Let’s compare Genghis Khan’s Empire with some of the other one’s that we’ve studied in class… The Roman Empire: About 2.2 million square miles

Comparing Empires: ________________________________________________________ Genghis Khan’s Mongol Empire: About 8 million square miles That’s equal to both of the other empires… x2!

Let’s do some math: ________________________________________________________ Genghis Khan: o 8 million square miles of empire o 40 million dead o 20 years of war o 5 dead for each square mile conquered o 2,000,000 dead each year (or 5480 dead each day!) o 400,000 square miles gained each year (or 1100 per day!) To put that in perspective: He murdered all of California and took over an area 2.5 times the size of the United States

What is best in life? ________________________________________________________ “The greatest happiness is to vanquish your enemy, to see him driven before you, to see his cities reduced to ashes, to see those who love him shrouded in tears, and to gather into your bosom his wives and daughters.” STONE COLD.

Genghis Khan: ________________________________________________________ Yes, we’re talking about so much theft, rape, and murder that modern DNA studies suggest that up to 17 million people (living right now) are descended from Genghis Khan.

Yuan Dynasty: ________________________________________________________ Take a look at the reading and answer the following questions in your notes: 1.What did Mongol leaders do in order to prevent a Chinese rebellion? 2.How did Mongol leaders increase trade in the region? 3.What event triggered the downfall of the Yuan Dynasty?
