what would the world be like now if he never existed?

More muslim dominated

think about all the places they pretty much just erased from history

The Renaissance in Europe prolly never would have happened
>Created intercontinental trade which allowed black death to obliterate old feudal order in Europe
>This also allowed Sultan of Rum to exploit weakness in Byzantine Empire and Muslim world to create Ottoman Sultanate and deny overland trade to Asia from Europeans
>This created both the drive to reach the new world, and a chance for artist, painters, sculptors, philosophers and the like to flourish as they were no longer stuck in their respective caste in society which inevitably brought on the reformation and enlightenment and thus created the massive technological arms race in Europe that created the industrial revolution that brought the world into the modern age.
Basically, Europe and the world never would have advanced into what it is now.

everything would be better.
see but basically interpret the reverse from it.

Iraq would be the center of the world

There, corrected it for you.

There, FTFY.

FTFY

Timur would have been working twice as hard

An Lushan already made sure it couldn't be, Chenghis was the reason China opened up to the worldat the time.

Likely the Islamic world would NOT have failed to keep up with its Christian counterparts in the West. On top of that much of what made Iran and Iraq so fertile was due to the Mongols and their kin killing large numbers of people who kept traditions and knowledge on how to manage pre-Islamic Iranian qanats and underground aqueducts working, preventing the current desertification going on in said countries.

>chinese was closed
Dumb meme.

smaller for one thing

Song China was the peak of their civilization

Mongols destroying Islam is a grave misconception. After the mongol empire fragmented, three out of the four components adopted Islam as an official religion. While Islamic powers expanded quickly, Islamic religions took more time, time which would have been reduced by the monogl's more...efficient means of establishing coherence within a society. Keep in mind that Ivan the Terrible and the Polish all had to face Muslim forces.

We wouldn't have had a common ancestor

>Mongol forces crushed the emergent state that would become the Ottoman Empire. It remains arguable whether or not that influenced Eastern European history or delayed the extinguishing of the Roman Empire.
>It was during Hulagu's invasions of Syria that Ibn Taymiyya declared jihad against the Mongols, marking one of the first periods in Islamic history when religious authorities sanctioned violence against Muslims (Barring conflicts with sects considered "heretical" which have occurred since the founding of Islam).
>Broke the stalemate between Jin and Song in Western China. Without it, it remains to be seen whether the two states could have ever created a unified polity in that area or if China would have followed a path of greater fragmentation.

just because they eventually became Muslims didn't mean they didn't completely wreck the muslim world at the time.

I also think they weren't likes regardless if some of em embraced the faith, considering their nomadic rough ways and destruction they caused.
