UNIT II: 600 - 1450 C.E. This second era is much shorter than the previous one, but during the years between 600 and 1450 C.E. many earlier trends continued to be reinforced, while some very important new patterns emerged that shaped all subsequent times. QUESTIONS OF PERIODIZATION Change over time occurs for many reasons, but three phenomena that tend to cause it are: ? Mass migrations - Whenever a significant number of people leave one area and migrate to another, change occurs for both the land that they left as well as their destination ? Imperial conquests - If an empire (or later a country) deliberately conquers territory outside its borders, significant changes tend to follow for both the attackers and the attacked.

Mongol Eurasia and Its Aftermath (1200-1500)?Chapter 12 Outline I. The Rise of the Mongols?A. Nomadism in Central and Inner Asia Although many people think of nomads as simple people moving from place to place, the Mongols were much more advanced than that. They had a rough political system, strong military tactics, and a core religion. The Mongols lived and moved with their families, and lived in groups throughout the Eurasian continent. They had a main, leader or Khan, and the rest of the people had their own voice. The more powerful families would vote on the Khans decisions, and the Khan would usually listen to the peoples? voice. If one or two of the families didn?t like his decisions, they had the option of going out on their own without the support of the rest of the group.
