“An Edict of the Khan”: Two Narratives of the Mongols

From pages 55 & 56 of the AP World History Course and Exam Description

Like most empires in history, the Mongol Empire can be interpreted differently. The Mongols were terrible if one’s society was the victim of a Mongol conquest. If one benefitted from trade routes protected by the Mongols, the Mongols were a force for good. We want to help students understand how our understanding of the Mongols has changed over time.
