The Mongols, led by Genghis Khan's grandson Batu Khan, invaded parts of Russia in 1223. In their initial incursion, they defeated a combined force of Russian princes and Cumans at the Battle of the Kalka River. This first victory over Russian forces heralded the start of the Mongol invasions and subjugation of much of Eastern Europe over the next few decades.

Mongol essay writing
Here are the key elements I identified in the document:
- The document provides guidance on how to write effective history essays, including outlining the structure and components of a strong essay.
- It emphasizes that history essays should be analytical rather than just narratives, exploring causes, impacts, relationships between concepts and events. The essay should have a clear argument and line of reasoning to answer the given question.
- Key components discussed include having a clear introduction with a thesis statement, using topic and link sentences to structure paragraphs coherently, citing evidence and explanations, and concluding by restating the thesis.
The overall 'controlling idea' seemed to be providing instructions on how to write a high-quality analytical history essay that
Teel topic sentence
Writing TEEL paragraphs involves including four elements: a Topic sentence, Evidence, Explanation, and Link. The Topic sentence should directly answer any question asked and introduce what will be discussed. Evidence from sources should then be cited to back up arguments. Next, the Explanation elaborates on how the evidence answers the question. Finally, the Link sentence captures the essence of the paragraph and ties it back to the original question.
Mongols lifestyle final
The document discusses the Mongol way of life, including their nomadic herding lifestyle and reliance on animals. It describes how the Mongolian geography and climate suited their nomadic grazing of mixed herds. The Mongols depended on animals like horses, cattle, sheep, and goats for transportation, food like milk and meat, hides, fleece, hunting, and protection. They practiced mixed herd grazing and nomadic grazing to avoid overgrazing the grasslands. Their diet consisted of "white food" like milk, yogurt, and cheese and "brown food" like meat. It includes a video on setting up a traditional Mongolian ger and an activity to construct a model ger.
Mongolia introduction climate, steppes landforms
The Mongol Empire originated under Genghis Khan in 1206 and expanded rapidly across Asia and into Eastern Europe through military conquest and political alliances. By 1294 under Kublai Khan, the Mongol Empire stretched from Eastern Europe to the Sea of Japan. However, the Mongol Empire began fracturing into smaller khanates after 1294 and was further weakened by outbreaks of plague in the late 1300s, losing control of China in 1368 to the Ming dynasty.
Mongols legacy
The Mongols had a significant linguistic and cultural influence on both Russia and China. Many Russian words for things like money, horses, and customs originated from Mongolian. In Chinese, words for makeup, alleys, mushrooms, and Russia can be traced back to Mongolian or other languages like Persian that the Mongols came into contact with like words for lion and grape. The legacy of the Mongol empire lives on in the languages and cultures they dominated.
Mongols weapons
The document discusses the Mongol army's success under Genghis Khan. It describes how the Mongols celebrated a victory over the Sartool people led by Genghis Khan. It also mentions that during the celebrations, Esunke Qongodorun shot an arrow 335 fathoms into the air. The document then provides instructions on taking organized notes from historians' explanations for the Mongol army's success, which will help write an essay on the topic. Notes should be taken without cramming and with space left to add more notes later.
Mongols tactics
The document summarizes 16 different tactics used by the Mongol military forces under Genghis Khan. Some of the key tactics included splitting forces into small, scattered groups to avoid being surrounded (#1 Crow Soldiers); using cavalry charges and flanking maneuvers to break enemy formations (#2, #10, #16); employing mounted archers to weaken enemies from a distance before finishing them off in close combat (#3, #13); and dividing forces to stage surprise attacks after feigning retreats (#7, #9). Overall, the Mongol tactics emphasized speed, maneuverability, and exploiting weaknesses in opponents' defenses and formations.
Luddism sources lesson
The document discusses evaluating sources about the Luddites movement in order to determine whether Luddism was truly "mindless violence". It provides questions to help analyze sources, including a letter from Luddites, physical artifacts, newspapers, historians, and popular culture. The document aims to have students use these questions to categorize sources based on how strongly they support or oppose the view that Luddism was simply mindless violence.

Technology in the IR
The document discusses the technological developments in Europe that served as the background for the Industrial Revolution. It describes how water wheels were increasingly used from the 12th century onward to power various machines and industrial processes, reducing labor needs. More efficient water wheel designs like the overshot wheel allowed a wider range of industries to emerge powered by water. The cam and crank mechanism further expanded what water wheels could do by converting circular motion to oscillating motion. By the 18th century, thousands of water wheels across Europe were powering industries like mills, sawmills, and textile factories. However, water power sources were limited, driving the development of steam power and new energy sources.
Agricultural revolution role play
The document describes a roleplaying activity where students take on roles in a village during the Agricultural Revolution. Students will read their role cards to understand a villager's life, use a map to identify where they live and work, and discuss their character and daily activities with their group. In the next round, students will discuss the potential impacts and their support/opposition to proposed Enclosure Acts that would enclose commonly used village land.
Trade and empire
Trade and Empire
Europeans colonized parts of Asia, Africa and the Americas in the late 15th-16th centuries to gain control over the production and trade of valuable commodities like sugar, cotton, tobacco, and to reduce risks and create monopolies for profit. Colonies provided cheap resources and markets for manufactured goods, and were a source of national prestige in the "race for empire" among European powers. By the 18th century, the major colonial powers were Britain, France, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, and later Germany and Russia, competing violently at times over territories and trade.
Capitalism in industrial revolution
Adam Smith's ideas in The Wealth of Nations influenced the development of capitalism during the Industrial Revolution. He believed in free markets and that economic liberty guaranteed progress. Competition forces businesses to make better products at lower prices according to the laws of self-interest, supply and demand, and competition. Thomas Malthus and David Ricardo built on Smith's ideas and opposed government assistance to workers. Under capitalism, private individuals and businesses own property and means of production, and progress results from self-interest and competition between businesses. This system replaced feudalism and helped bring about the Industrial Revolution through investment, increased production, trade, transportation innovations, and changes in industries.
Events civil rights_move
The document provides an overview of the Harlem Renaissance and segregation in the early-to-mid 20th century United States. It describes how the Harlem Renaissance was a cultural movement centered in Harlem, New York among African American artists and writers in the 1920s-1930s. It also outlines how segregation laws and customs separated public spaces and denied rights to African Americans in the South through the Jim Crow system up until the civil rights movement challenged it in the 1950s-1960s.
You be the judge
The document provides summaries of several Supreme Court cases related to school desegregation after the Brown v. Board of Education decision. It summarizes the Green v. New Kent County case, which ruled that a "freedom-of-choice" plan that did not achieve desegregation was unconstitutional. It also summarizes the Swann v. Charlotte-Mecklenburg case upholding busing to desegregate schools, and the Keyes v. Denver District case finding that proof of intentional segregation in one area required desegregating the entire district. Finally, it summarizes the Milliken v. Bradley case prohibiting multi-district desegregation plans without proof all districts intentionally segregated.
Introduction to US Civil Rights Movement
John Brown led a raid on a federal arsenal in 1859 hoping to spark a slave uprising, but he failed to gain support and was executed. His actions were viewed differently, seen as fanatical by some but heroic by others like Thoreau. The US had developed differing regional societies by the 1800s, with the North industrializing and the South dependent on slavery. The Civil War ended slavery but Reconstruction faced resistance. Segregation became law after the Civil Rights Act was overturned and Jim Crow laws enforced racial separation despite some protest movements emerging.

Next, an Explanation elaborates on how the evidence answers the question. Finally, a Link sentence captures the essence of the paragraph and ties it back to the original question.
Troy
The document summarizes information about the ancient Greek poet Homer and his epic poems The Iliad and The Odyssey. It discusses how Homer is believed to have lived in the 8th-9th century BCE and wrote the two major works that influenced Western culture. The document also provides background on the Trojan War that was the subject of The Iliad, notes archaeological evidence found at the site of Troy, and discusses the work of Heinrich Schliemann who identified the historical location of the city of Troy.
The black power movement
The document discusses the origins and key figures of the Black Power movement in the 1960s, including Malcolm X, Stokely Carmichael, and the Black Panther Party, as well as the rise of black activism on college campuses, black artistic expression through literature and music, and the development of black feminism in response to criticisms of the black family structure. As the movement grew, it led to increasing riots and civil unrest across major U.S. cities as African Americans fought for their voices to be heard on social and political issues.
Greek dark age comparison with other contemporary civs
This document discusses major developments that occurred globally during the Greek Dark Ages from c.1100-800 BC, including the Zhou Dynasty perfecting bronze bell making in China c. 1045 BC, the Jomon civilization developing new rice farming methods in Japan c. 1000 BC, Austronesians beginning their migration across the Pacific c. 1000 BC, Aryans organizing society into four classes in India c. 1000 BC, the Kushite people winning independence from Egypt c. 900 BC, the Chavin Civilization developing unique sculpture in South America c. 850 BC, and King Solomon building the first Jewish temple in Jerusalem in 832 BC while the Phoenician city of Carthage was founded in 814 BC.
Geography of greece
The ancient Greeks lived around the seas rather than on the land due to the geography of Greece. Three-quarters of the land was mountainous, making it unsuitable for farming or large communities, so the Greeks developed small independent city-states in valleys along the coasts and relied on trade by sea. The climate was moderate, allowing an outdoor lifestyle, while the land was threatened by earthquakes, volcanoes, and tidal waves due to tectonic plate movement.
Minoans
The Minoan civilization flourished on the island of Crete from around 2000 BCE to 1450 BCE. They had a prosperous trade-based economy and built magnificent palaces, the largest being at Knossos. The Minoans declined around 1450 BCE, possibly due to invasion from the mainland Mycenaean civilization or due to a massive volcanic eruption on the island of Thera.
TEEL Essay structure
The document outlines the TEEL strategy for structuring persuasive writing. It involves:
1) Choosing a topic sentence (T) that introduces the topic being argued, such as how poverty can lead to malnutrition.
2) Providing evidence and examples (E) to prove the point, like statistics on how many children suffer from malnutrition each year.
3) Evaluating (E) the arguments by explaining the meaning and implications, possibly using rhetorical questions.
4) Linking (L) the work together and transitioning to the next topic or paragraph to provide coherence. The TEEL strategy provides a clear structure for persuasive writing.
Greek Theatre Presentation
Greek theatre originated from hymns sung in honor of Dionysus. The earliest theatres were simple outdoor spaces where actors and chorus performed plays. Over time, theatres evolved with designated spaces for the orchestra, stage, and audience seating. The ancient Greeks performed tragedies and comedies as part of religious festivals. Tragedies focused on human suffering, while comedies parodied society. Playwrights like Sophocles and Aristophanes helped establish the genres. Greek theatre laid the foundations for modern Western theatre.
Camp briefing 1
The document provides information for an upcoming Year 8 camp, including the goals, activities, timing, location, group structure, meals, accommodations, necessary supplies, expected weather, and next steps to prepare. Students will spend Monday to Friday camping in Kangaroo Valley, participating in hiking, abseiling, and kayaking. They will sleep in tents in campsites with basic facilities and be divided into groups of 12-15 students led by a teacher and outdoor guide. Medical forms, surveys, and packing the advised supplies are the next steps before the early morning departure on Monday.
Earning a living in pompeii
The document discusses the commercial life and economy of Pompeii. It describes Pompeii as a vibrant port city with extensive economic activity, including over 600 shops. The economy encompassed primary production like wine, olives, and textiles, as well as secondary industries like pottery, metalworking, and fish sauce production. Tertiary industries like restaurants, hotels, and retail were also important. While some experts view Pompeii as purely a consumer city dependent on agricultural imports, others argue evidence like shipments of Pompeian wine abroad and the scale of workshops indicate some export trade as well.
Sacrifice of isaac
This document summarizes a mosaic from the 6th century CE Bet Alpha synagogue depicting the biblical story of God testing Abraham's faith by commanding him to sacrifice his son Isaac. It notes that from Abraham's perspective, this command seems problematic, as God had promised Abraham descendants through Isaac, making the act unjust and sadistic. The document then summarizes different thinkers' views on Abraham's actions, including that he was a hero for obeying God or a fool for not reasoning that God's command was evil. It concludes by questioning if we could do what Abraham did and whether his story should still test our faith today.
The extent o-metre
The document discusses the extent to which various factors are responsible for different outcomes. It examines Lynx deodorant's responsibility for romantic success, motivation's responsibility for a house's success at a swimming carnival, and Hitler's responsibility for World War II. For each factor, the document indicates a moderate extent of responsibility but nil total extent of responsibility.
X tombs
Archaeological research is providing new insights into the tombs and catacombs along the ancient Via Labicana in Rome. Analysis of burials in the Mausoleum of Helena and the Church of Saints Peter and Marcellinus has revealed details about those interred. Isotope analysis indicates the individuals came from various backgrounds, with some migrants from North Africa. Personal items and burial styles, such as the use of plaster, suggest these were members of the Equites Singulari Augusti, the personal cavalry of Roman emperors. Ongoing study of the human remains, textiles, and artifacts is enhancing understanding of this non-homogenous group.
Pru revision
The German Chancellor wrote to the Austrian Foreign Minister in 1913 warning that Russia would find it difficult to passively watch Austria take military action against Serbia due to their traditional relations in the Balkans. He stated that this would likely result in Russia intervening and sparking a warlike conflict between the Triple Alliance and Triple Entente powers, with Germany bearing the brunt of attacks from France and Britain. The Chancellor viewed the alliance system as meaning that any local Balkan conflict could escalate into a broader war between the major powers.

Causes of war
The document outlines some of the key factors that can contribute to the outbreak of war between nations. It notes that countries may feel their needs for security, resources, land, and power are not being met through diplomacy or international organizations. They may also have fears about their neighbors' intentions and growing power. Along with nationalism and confidence in their military strength, these unmet needs and fears can create the political will for conflict. If a country also has the military capacity in terms of army size, weapons, logistics, technology, and intelligence, it may only take a triggering event and declarations of war for hostilities to break out.
Falk presentation
This document discusses a lecture given in 2018 about exploring letters sent to Rabbi Leib Aisack Falk between 1938-1939. It provides context about Rabbi Falk and includes photos of him. The bulk of the document appears to be transcripts or summaries of the letters Rabbi Falk received from Jews in Europe during this time period, as the rising Nazi threat caused many to flee or seek help. It also traces what is known about what happened to some of the letter writers afterwards, such as escaping to other countries or being interned. The document aims to shed light on this correspondence and the plight of Jews during this era through Rabbi Falk's letters.
Ww2 essay feedback ppt
The document provides feedback on a student's research notes and essay on the causes of WWII. For the research notes, it recommends including more specific evidence like quotes, statistics, and examples to support points. It also suggests better organizing the notes with subheadings, color-coding, and page numbers. For the essay, it notes the student should include more in-text citations, distinguish between key and supporting events, and engage more with historians' debates on the extent Hitler's aggression caused WWII. Overall, the feedback aims to help the student strengthen the evidence and analysis in both their notes and final essay response.
Innovation
This document discusses the factors that contributed to a culture of innovation in 18th century Britain that drove the Industrial Revolution. It argues that this culture was the result of:
1) Gateway technologies like abundant fossil fuels that powered new machines.
2) Increased education, especially in universities and skills-based training, that developed human capital.
3) A mentality of improvement that viewed changing and advancing things as positive and spread this mindset between innovators.
4) A commitment by many innovators to openly sharing their ideas and work in order to further improve conditions and advance innovation. This reflects their mixed motivations of altruism, profit, fame, and curiosity.
Anschluss
1) Hitler demanded that Austrian Chancellor Schuschnigg lift the ban on the Austrian Nazi Party, release Nazi prisoners, and put Nazis in key government posts. When Schuschnigg refused, Hitler threatened to invade Austria.
2) Under pressure, Schuschnigg resigned on March 11th, allowing Austrian Nazis to take power. The next day, German troops crossed into Austria unopposed, completing the Anschluss.
3) Britain and France did not respond militarily. While condemning Germany's actions, Britain acknowledged that nothing short of force could have stopped the annexation of Austria.
Sais
The document summarizes everyday life and structures at the ancient Egyptian city of Sais based on accounts from Herodotus and excavation findings by Champollion. It describes how kings were buried within the temple precinct of Athene, including the tombs of Amasis and Apries. It also mentions an unnamed tomb presumed to be of Osiris-Hemag located behind the temple wall. Further, it outlines buildings and structures at Sais including great stone obelisks, a circular lake, and a magnificent outer court built by Amasis with large statues and sphinxes using stones from Memphis and a single chamber shrine transported from Elephantine over three years. Champollion's excavations at Sais
Anzacery
The Protection of Word 'Anzac' Regulations 1921 prohibits the unauthorized use of the word "Anzac" in connection with trade, business, entertainment, lotteries, or names of institutions, buildings, boats, vehicles, or private residences. A breach of the Act can result in imprisonment of up to 12 months or fines of up to $10,200 for individuals and $51,000 for corporations imposed by the Court. The document provides a list of applications that have come to the Minister for Veterans' Affairs seeking permission to use or associate with the word "Anzac" for various purposes on Anzac Day.
Ramesside Shipwrecks
The document discusses two shipwrecks from the Late Bronze Age Mediterranean - Cape Gelidonya from around 1200 BCE and Uluburun from the late 14th century BCE. It describes the cargoes found on each ship, which provide evidence of trade networks between the Aegean, Cyprus, Egypt, and the Levantine coast. The Uluburun shipwreck in particular contained a large variety of goods, such as ingots, weapons, glass, and pottery, indicating it was carrying commodities from multiple places and cultures around the Mediterranean on an established trade route. Analysis of the artifacts suggests the ship was Canaanite or Cypriot and heading to the Aegean with goods transported

Marathon decision making activity
Miltiades led the Athenian army to the plain of Marathon where they camped in a wooded area for three days, waiting for reinforcements from Sparta. Spies reported that a portion of the Persian forces left by ship, presumably to attack Athens directly. When Miltiades' spies informed him of this, he marched the Athenian hoplites at a run towards the Persians in a modified formation, with wings of 8 men deep and a center of 4 men deep, and attacked the remaining Persian forces at Marathon. The Athenians were victorious, repelling the first Persian invasion of Greece.
July crisis decision making
The document outlines a series of events in 1914 that led major European powers to make decisions that ultimately resulted in World War 1. It presents hypothetical scenarios where different countries must choose their next actions. Their choices narrowed the options of other countries and escalated tensions, as protective alliances were invoked and military mobilizations began in response to the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria by Serbian nationalists. Within a month, Germany and Russia were at war, followed by France and eventually Britain due to Germany's invasion of neutral Belgium.
Imperialism Historian's Debate
1) Historians have debated the origins and aims of imperialism, discussing whether it was driven by economic or strategic factors, whether it was accidental or planned, and whether the goal was civilizing other peoples or self-interested exploitation.
2) Definitions of imperialism include political domination, economic exploitation, military subjugation, and the colonization of territories by settlers, but it can also refer more broadly to the growth and maintenance of an empire's power and influence.
3) While colonization involves the transfer of populations as permanent settlers, imperialism refers more to the exercise of power and control over other countries through various direct and indirect means.
Feedback on ir essay
The document provides feedback on IR essays, noting what aspects were done well and areas for improvement. It looked for a clear introduction and outline, topic sentences and evidence in body paragraphs, and a conclusion. Strengths included essay structure and range of points. Weaknesses included a lack of specific evidence, awkward phrasing, and not fully addressing the causes of the IR. The document offers advice such as engaging more in planning, including evidence and citations, paraphrasing quotes, and showing differing historian perspectives.
Bull leaper mystery object
Astronomers have discovered an unusual object in our galaxy that they cannot identify. It appears to emit bursts of radio waves every 16 days but does not seem to have a consistent visual light signature. The object's behavior does not match any known object type and could help scientists learn more about unknown astronomical phenomena.
