HIST 3360: The Mongols

3.00 Credits

University of Utah

The Mongol empire, which dominated the landmass of Eurasia from the early thirteenth century to the mid-fourteenth, is a major topic in medieval global history. Beginning with the sudden emergence on the Central Asian steppes of a powerful tribal conglomerate united under Chinggis Khan, we will cover its rise and its conquest of the surrounding sedentary societies. We will read primary sources from different cultural traditions, from the Secret History of the Mongols to accounts from the Islamic world, by western missionary and travellers, to make sense of this period, which was a remarkable era of trade and cultural exchange that endured for more than a century.
