We’re the mongols barbarians or builders of the world?
Kay [80]

Answer:

It´s difficult to provide a simple answer to that question. There maybe more than one answer. It depends on the views each person has, on cultural and individual values.

The Mongols were seen as barbarians by the Chinese. They didn´t follow Chinese customs and social norms, and anybody outside the circle of Chinese culture was taken as a barbarian. Besides, China - Zhongguo, the Middle Kingdom - always saw itself as the center of civilization. After their conquest of imperial China, the Mongols adopted Chinese norms and assimilated to Chinese culture, just as it has happened with other foreign conquerors, which constitutes an acknowledgement of Chinese sophistication.

By their global conquest - the Mongol hordes reached Europe and Southeast Asia - they put together into one political entity many former kingdoms and lands that had had no previous contact with each other. Curiously enough, Mongol expansion was a vehicle of Chinese culture during the Yuan dinasty, founded by Mongols rulers in imperial China.

What was the tea of act
vazorg [7]

Answer:

The Tea Act of 1773 was one of several measures imposed on the American colonists by the heavily indebted British government in the decade leading up to the American Revolutionary War (1775-83). The act’s main purpose was not to raise revenue from the colonies but to bail out the floundering East India Company, a key actor in the British economy. The British government granted the company a monopoly on the importation and sale of tea in the colonies. The colonists had never accepted the constitutionality of the duty on tea, and the Tea Act rekindled their opposition to it. Their resistance culminated in the Boston Tea Party on December 16, 1773, in which colonists boarded East India Company ships and dumped their loads of tea overboard. Parliament responded with a series of harsh measures intended to stifle colonial resistance to British rule; two years later the war began.
