Reflection of Mongolian Imperial Ideas in Medieval Japanese Sources. Part 2
In the second part of this article, issues of Japanese perception of the Mongol invaders are discussed. Contrary to official statements of Khagan Kublai and his descendants, the great khans of the Yuan Dynasty, about their receiving a “Heavenly Mandate” to rule the entire oikumene, which is why Japan was obliged to obey them, in Japanese society the Mongols received cognomen “foreign pirates” and “bandits”, with whom it is necessary to conduct a …
Reflection of Mongolian Imperial Ideas in Medieval Japanese Sources. Part 1
Like many other Eurasian countries, Japan also became an object of Mongol aggression in XIII century. The founder of the Mongol Yuan dynasty Qubilai (1215-1294, ruled 1260-1294) tried both diplomatically and militarily to achieve its subjugation, but neither he nor his descendants were able to do so. Apparently, at first Qubilai sought only recognition of his seniority, which he needed to raise his prestige in the eyes of both the Mongols and the…

This work contains information about Chinggis Khan’s aggressive plans, however, not all of it stands up to criticism. Apparently…
Chinggis Khan and the Idea of World Domination
The article proposes a solution to the question of Temujin/ Chinggis Khan’s plans for world domination. Based on reports of a number of medieval sources, the author comes to the conclusion that his military campaigns pursued specific goals mostly to take revenge on numerous enemies and were not a part of a common aggressive plan. After uniting nomadic tribes and pacifying borderlands, Chinggis Khan usually reacted severely to external challenges,…

Ideology of the Mongol World Domination in “The Collection of Chronicles” by Rashid al-Din
The article presents the results obtained in the course of work on identifying plots in medieval written sources that demonstrate manifestations of the Mongol imperial ideology and allow not only to clearly identify its contours and content, but also to establish with the greatest possible accuracy the moment of transition of the Mongols from predatory and punitive expeditions to systematic subordination of the whole known world space. To achieve…

Reflection of Mongolian imperial ideas in the medieval Byzantium sources
The article uses materials of Byzantine historical works of the XIII-XIV centuries to further develop the author’s work in the sphere of Imperial ideology of the medieval Mongols. The special geopolitical position of Byzantium, as well as controversies among descendants of Genghis Khan, have caused peculiarities of its relations with the Mongol Empire, and later with the states of Juchids and Khulaguids, and allowed it to remain independent. Byza…
Tibetan policy of the Mongols (1205–1235)
The article discusses the relationships of the Mongols with Tibet in the short period between the first Mongol campaign against the Tangut state of Western Xia (Xi Xia) in 1205 and the Great Kurultai of 1235 to resolve the issue of the intentions of the two first Mongol khans to subjugate Tibet. Tibetan and late Mongolian historiographies are full of reports about an invasion of Tibet by Genghis Khan himself and about his successfully implemented…
The goals of the Mongol invaders according to European sources of the middle of the XIII century. Part 1
The middle of the XIII century - the apogee of power of the unified Mongol Empire. In 1241-1242, the first, bloodiest and most destructive Mongol invasion into Europe took place. Certainly, it was vital for the Europeans to find an answer to the question: what did the invaders want, what goals did they pursue? In this article, the author shows that, due to the abundance of contradictory information and the acute lack of an objective understanding…
Tangut captivity of Genghis Khan
The article puts forward a hypothesis about the capture of Genghis Khan by the Tanguts during his attack on the Tangut state of Xi Xia in 1207-1208. The only source that provides this information is the work of Guillaume de Rubruk, who visited Mongolia in 1253-1255. No supporting information has yet been found, however, there is no data that would completely exclude the possibility of Genghis Khan being captured. On the basis of Chinese, Mongolia…
Reflection of Mongolian imperial ideas in the medieval Syrian sources

Reflection of Mongolian Imperial Ideas in the Medieval Georgian Sources

The analysis of such plots allows solving a twofold problem: on the one hand, it …
