Did the Mongols’ cultural achievements define the Ming and Russian Empires? Why or why not? (use 3 to 5 sentences)
1 answer
No, the Mongols' cultural achievements did not define the Ming and Russian Empires. Both the Ming and Russian Empires had their own distinct cultures and histories that were not heavily influenced by the Mongols. The Ming Dynasty in China, for example, emphasized traditional Chinese culture and Confucianism, while the Russian Empire in Eastern Europe had its own Slavic and Orthodox Christian traditions. While the Mongols did have an impact on these empires militarily and politically, their cultural achievements did not define the essence of these empires.
