Pastoral Peoples on the Global Stage:

CH 12- Pastoral Peoples on the Global Stage: The Mongol Moment 1200-1500

In this chapter it is clear that people adapt to their environments and make the best they can so that they are able to survive according to their conditions. The differences between pastoral societies and agricultural societies are an example of how people adapted to their surroundings. This chapter goes into how the Mongol Empire had a great impact during the thirteenth and fourteenth century: how it connected major civilizations, some of those networks still persist today. Finally, throughout all of human history the Mongol Empire has been the biggest land-based empire. An interesting fact about the Mongols was that they did not try to spread their religion.
