Weird History

Throughout the 13th&nbsp;century, the group of nomadic tribes known as the Mongols unified under a single ruler and proceeded to <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/how-did-the-mongol-empire-change-the-world/genevieve-carlton" target="_blank">carve out the largest empire</a> the world had ever seen. From the Danube River in Europe to all the way across Asia up to the Pacific Ocean, the highly mobile warriors overcame empires, kingdoms, and states they encountered until they eventually ruled over an enormous number of people.

The formidable ruler, <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/savage-genghis-khan-stories/jason-f-collins" target="_blank">Genghis Khan</a>, started the impressive conquest, but it did not end with him. After his demise, the khan&rsquo;s heirs successfully continued to subdue adversaries on their borders and then managed to maintain their control over the gigantic empire for 100 years. To achieve this, the Mongols not only relied on their revolutionary military tactics, but also established very effective methods to rule over so many different cultures.

History

The Renaissance was a strange time. In many ways, it truly was the &ldquo;rebirth&rdquo; of ancient knowledge, arts, and culture, while also serving as a substantial bridge to even more sophisticated eras: the Reformation and the Age of Enlightenment. On the other hand, Europe remained very much like the medieval world it had emerged from.

This combination of old and new, in which archaic superstitions mixed with extraordinary discoveries and a desire to improve civilized society, created an exceptionally fascinating era. Because of this, the Renaissance captures the imagination of so many people - even to this day.&nbsp;
