ASIAN 101 Study Guide - Final Guide: Wanli Emperor, Nurhaci, Osamu Tezuka
Document Summary
Yurt: a circular, portable, round tent covered with skins or felt and used as a dwelling by nomads. Chinggis khan: another spelling for genghis khan. There was a large confederation under a khan. His tactics included: breaking up tribal organization, forming military units with men of different tribes, promoting officials on basis of merit and loyalty, and establishing distinctly non-nomadic capital at karakorum. Some of his conquers include: china (1220) and afghanistan and persia (emissaries were murdered and in the following year, he destroyed the ruler). He also ravaged lands to prevent future rebellion, creating large-scale, long term devastation. Kublai khan: the grandson of chinggis/genghis khan. He was a ruthless warrior but a tolerant of religion. During his two attempts to invade japan, typhoons prevented him from doing so. It came to power after the mongol yuan dynasty was driven out. Ming emperors encouraged abandonment of mongol names and dresses along with supporting the study of confucian classics.
