Ch. 11 = Pastoral Peoples (For and/or Against)

For:
1. According to the third-wave millennium, "Chinese culture and Buddhism provided a measure of integration among the peoples of East Asia; Christianity did the same for Europe, while the realm of Islam connected most of the lands in-between" (Strayer, 480). 
2. Diplomacy on an Eurasian Scale throughout the Mongol Empire. 
3. Trade and disease had happened in the fourteenth century. 
4. Cultural Change in the Mongol Realm throughout “transcontinental economic and political relationships” (Strayer, 482) with exchanging “peoples and cultures” (Strayer, 482). 
5. According to the participation’s derived benefit, Mongols’ society “must be measured alongside the hemispheric catastrophe known as the “plague” or the “pestilence” and later called the Black Death” (Strayer, 483). 

Against: 
1. Turks had occurred in Islam during the tenth to the fourteenth centuries in “a major turning point in history” (Strayer, 464). 
2. The Mongol Empire had been governed “for all of its size and fearsome reputation” (Strayer, 467). 3. According to the unification of the Mongol tribes, this then raises a question: “what was Chinggis Khan to do with the powerful army he had assembled” (Strayer, 468)? 
4. According to Mongol’s policy, one scholar explains this way, “Extremely conscious of their small numbers and fearful of rebellion, Chinggis often chose to annihilate a region’s entire population, if it appeared too troublesome to govern” (Strayer, 472). 
5. If the violence occurs throughout Persia, then “Russia’s incorporation into the Mongol Empire was very different” (Strayer, 478).
