Serious question, what would the world look like today if the mongol empire hadn't risen? Looking for a serious answer and not /pol/ shit.
Serious question, what would the world look like today if the mongol empire hadn't risen...

A more populated and urbanized Middle East

Can people please stop asking these dumbfuck "what if x never happened" questions? If any major world power had never risen the world would be far too different to be able to describe in one thread since every action has world-wide ripple effects. This thread is dedicated to history, not pseud "well wat if da romanz had ak-47s?". If you want to ask stupid questions go to Reddit.
Wyatt Cook
What if the romans had ak-47s though?
Samuel Lewis
Then you'd be a faggot. Still are. No change imho

>Looking for a serious answer
Impossible, given your stupid question

>>bitching about alt-history questions
Calm the fuck down idiot, it's a legitimate topic given the subject matter of this board and it's a million times better then another christfag thread, or another ww2 thread.

Chink domination.
The Song were in the early stages of industrialization without the Mongols we all get assimilated into the Han collective.

>A more populated and urbanized Middle East
The effects of the Mongols on Europe were minimal, as it was attacks against the fringes but they really fucked up the MidEast and derailed their society to the point that the MidEast is still fucked up today.

Quite possibly the stupidest thing I've ever read on Veeky Forums...
Liam Reed
The real question is: How do we justify the fact that they weren't hunted down back to their little shithole desert and genocided like the pest they were?
Nolan Martin
And how would you accomplish that?
Mongol horsemen were quite possibly the strongest military force on earth before widespread use of guns became the norm.
Nathan Butler
Indeed, the Mongols were culturally savage stone age cavemen but armed with with modern day tech and tool kit.
Owen Long
they come from the middle of nowhere and no one save maybe Timur, who wanted to replicate their empire, wanted to waste resources trying to conquer them.
Jonathan Brooks
It would look exactly the same cause the Mongols were basically irrelevant and did nothing but take up a lot empty space.

The second stupidest thing I've ever read on Veeky Forums...
Connor Watson
Asia/Middle East ends up with too many people and breaks out into more war until enough people die to free up resources.

Says a descendent of the Mongols.

What is Russia, Alex?

This is exactly what Romanov Russia and Qing China did.

The only two major things I could guess is that
>Russia would have taken a bit longer to unify
>Turks would not of spread throughout Anatolia and Rum would of gotten the byzshits.

What the hell do Mongols have to do with those
Tyler Richardson
Mongols brought them over you dumb nigger. Without the mongols to re-establish the silk road, marco polo wouldn't have made it over.
Without those things, you're still stuck in your dark ages with rampant illiteracy rate.
Joshua Collins
Printing press was invented in Germany in the 1400s you fucking cretin.
