Empires of Land and Mind (1250-1350)

4 important questions on Empires of Land and Mind (1250-1350)

What was the Mongol empire like by 1350?

By 1300, the Mongols had created the largest empire known to history, and by 1350 most of it was Islamic.

Which Islamic groups were rising c.1350?

  • To the west of the Mongols were the Mamluks, equally Islamic, as were the Islamic successor states of the Almohads in the Maghreb.
  • In the sub-Saharan south arose the sprawling new Islamic Empire of Mali.
  • Much of the globe's eastern hemisphere was under Islamic rule in one way or another c.1350.

How did the Christian portion of the hemisphere do?

  • The Christian portion of that hemisphere (equally varied, if smaller) was cowed.
  • To the contrary, it too was teeming with new ideas, new institutions, new modes of expression.
  • And its political, intellectual, and artistic elites were perhaps even keener than the Mongols to exert control - over peoples, territories, thoughts and sexualities.
