6.html Because of endemicinternal conflicts within the Mongols' empire, predominance of the Slavic language population,and the Orthodox Christian orientation in religion (the Mongols' language and faith policy wastolerant enough not to destroy the language and religiousness of the Moscovites) the GoldenHorde's doctrine was unacceptable any longer. Golubinsky speaks of Russia's "tiny and peculiar culture (prosviashchenie)" on the eve of the Mongol invasion.

Mongol Invasions of Japan, 1274 and 1281 In the 13th century, Kublai Khan, grandson of Genghis Khan and the Mongol Emperor (Yuan Shi-zu) who founded the Yuan Dynasty of China, envisioned to succumb Japan and incorporate it as a tributary state of the Mongol empire. It was so recorded that a thunderstorm harassed north Kyushu island in 1274 when the Mongol (Yuan) army was fighting, and again in 1281 a typhoon hit north Kyushu island while the Yuan soldiers were on board their ships preparing for a major landing operation. This stone barrier, on which the Japanese soldiers forcefully fought in resistance, effectively prevented the landing of the Yuan (Mongol) army on the shore of Hakata (now in Fukuoka city) during the second invasion of 1281. www.ualberta.ca /~chor/mongolin.htm   (362 words)

Lizard ~ Big Top Another common belief about the Mongol invasions is that it, more than any other factor, compelled the warring factions of Russia to work together against a common enemy, thereby creating a distinct Russian culture and nation.

AllRefer.com - Mongolia - The Society and Its Environment Mongolian Information Resource As a small nation of barely 2 million people, caught between two giant and sometimes antagonistic neighbors, China and the Soviet Union, Mongolia has had to accommodate itself to one or the other of those neighbors. Although the topic was politically sensitive, Mongolia's leaders were nationalists as well as communists, and they aspired to much more independence than was permitted to the "national minorities" of the Soviet Union and China with whom the Mongolians otherwise had so much in common. In the opinion of most Western observers, most Mongolians traditionally have tended to view the Soviet Union as a model of modern society, and the Russian language has been the vehicle for the introduction of science and modern technology and for contacts with the larger communist world. reference.allrefer.com /country-guide-study/mongolia/mongolia43.html   (831 words)

Why do Bulgarians have a slavic language? - Stormfront White Nationalist Community Tatars or volga bulgars are in fact a very mixed nation. First they were volgids (50% europeoids and 50% mongoloids), but due to islamisation of ugro-finns (which are on 10% mongoloids) tatars are now much more ugro-finns than volgids (take a look at Tatarstan's president - he is a volgid). A more interesting fact is why Moscow does not let a nation of more than threee million people call themselves what they seem fit, instead the Soviet government concocted a fib about some "Tatar" nation. www.stormfront.org /forum/showthread.php?p=94160&mode=threaded   (1458 words)

China and Inner Asia Sessions In this new nation-centered reappraisal, premised on his contributions to the building of a unified China, Fu Zuoyi has been reincarnated as a builder of Inner Mongolia and even of the Inner Mongolian revolutionary resistance force upon which Ulanhu established his communist, ethno-nationalist, and anti-Japanese credentials. Eliminating Inner Mongol territorial identity, opening up Mongol grassland for agricultural development by military colonies, as well as suppressing Mongol resistance, were among Fu’s great "crimes" against which Mongols led by Ulanhu fought.
