This volume traces the creation of the Mongol Empire of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, an empire that at its greatest extent stretched from Eastern Europe and the Middle East in the west through Central Asia and Inner Asia to modern Korea and China in eastern Asia. Its impact on the peoples of Asia, the Middle East, and Europe are felt to this day. Written for non-experts, this book seeks to introduce general readers to the complex impact of the Mongol Empire on world history. While the military impact of the Mongols does appear in this volume, readers will come away with a greater appreciation of the broader impact of Mongol actions, including especially the impact on trade and the spread of ideas including technology and art, encouraged by the Mongol Empire. The Key Issues in Asian Studies series is the perfect place to present this topic to a wide reading public"--Provided by publisher.
