  3. The Mongols(Civilizations greatest exception) • Mongols are a people from inner Asia who do not have the traditional marking of a civilization. • The Mongol armies (the “Golden Horde”) invade Russia, China, and South East Asian Muslim states to create an empire from 1235 to 1259 CE/AD. Click me • Mongols even invade the Islamic Empire, but those invaders are converted to Islam

  4. The effects of Mongol Invasions Click here • Eastern European populations decline because of warfare and refugee flight • It is possible that the Mongols brought the Bubonic Plague with them as they conquered Eastern Europe and Byzantine • The Golden Horde never invades Constantinople, but the effect of their invasions on Byzantine will lead to weakness and the fall of the Empire • Constantinople finally falls to the Ottoman Turks in 1453 and becomes the capital of the Ottoman Empire from 1301 to 1922 CE/AD). • The name of the city is changed to Istanbul and the city is sustained by Islamic institutions

  5. Knowledge(how do we protect it?) Click here • Knowledge in Eastern Europe is protected in cities like Constantinople • The Islamic Empire seeks to foster knowledge, and they spread it through trade • The masses in Western Europe were uneducated and concerned with feudal obligations. • There is a serious possibility that knowledge will not expand and perhaps be lost in Medieval Western Europe Working in Hollywood is easy if you known your history!

  6. Knowledge(The Church steps in) • The Late Medieval church preserved and expanded knowledge • Religious scholars were literate and usually worked in protected monasteries • Scholars translated Greek and Arabic texts into Latin, as well as made new knowledge (philosophy, medicine, science) available in Europe • Church Scholars laid the foundations for the first European degree granting university in Bologna (1088 CE/AD) Click here
