If you believe someone is using your copyrighted work without your permission, you can follow the process outlined here https://ppacc.player.fm/legal.
This week on History Rage, host Paul Bavill is joined by Dr. Nicholas Morton, an associate professor of history at Nottingham Trent University and author of The Mongol Storm, to unravel the myths surrounding one of history's most formidable empires: the Mongols. Together, they confront the misconceptions that paint these conquerors as mere barbarians, revealing a sophisticated and highly organised society that reshaped the world.
The Mongol Myth
Barbarians or Organised Conquerors?: Dr. Morton challenges the stereotype of the Mongols as chaotic and primitive, illustrating their strategic military organisation and the remarkable efficiency of their army.
Complex Societal Structures: Discover how Mongol society was not only about warfare but also involved intricate systems of governance, trade, and cultural exchange.
Military Prowess
Archery and Tactics: Learn about the Mongol archers, trained from a young age, and their innovative military strategies that made them nearly unstoppable on the battlefield.
Integration and Adaptation: Explore how the Mongols absorbed conquered peoples into their ranks, creating a diverse and formidable fighting force.
Impact on the World
Trade Networks: The Mongols fostered trade across vast distances, leading to what historians call the Pax Mongolica, a period of relative peace and stability that facilitated commerce.
Cultural Exchange: Delve into how the Mongols influenced the cultures and economies of the regions they conquered, including their adoption of paper money and interest in scientific advancements.
As the conversation unfolds, Dr. Morton dispels long-held myths and provides a nuanced understanding of the Mongol Empire's legacy, encouraging listeners to rethink their perceptions of this legendary civilisation.
