The Abduction of Women in the Secret History of the Mongols The Abduction of Women in the Secret History of the Mongols The livelihood of the Mongols relied on tribal raids for survival. During the 12th century the Mongols wanted to rule over the Khitans and Jurchens, who consisted of a majority of wandering individuals who continued to reside in the east and learned to acquire resources from China. The Turks were another group of people who wanted to become rulers of the Khitans and Jurchens. This particular group of individuals were well trained in metalworking, but rebelled against the Rouruans, who had previously conquered the eastern Silk Road of Central Asia, and continued into the Mongolia region. In the 12th century, war broke out between the Jurchens and the Khitans, as a result the Jurchens became victorious and thus gained further access to China. Unlike the Khitans and Jurchens, who adapted to Chinese customs, the Mongols never abandoned their traditional way of life. Before the huge invasion the Mongols had no rural communities, or suburbs, so they had to move their livestock around according to the seasons. The Mongols' housing consisted of circular tents known as yurts, rather than houses. The yurts were made large enough for an entire family to live in, as well as waterproof. The area where the Mongols lived was cold and the land was not suitable for agriculture, so their diet normally consisted of meat products, along with cow or goat's milk. The Mongols did not have adequate means of keeping food fresh, so they were often concerned about the health of all their livestock. The Mongols faced many difficulties that affected their food supply, such as cold seasons or disease. Since the land was not suitable for... half of paper... the Mongol tribe, after being kidnapped, Lady Hogelun, with loud shouts, stirred up the Onan River. Lady Hogelun continued to scream until the forests and grass trembled with fear. Lady Hogelun had no choice but to surrender her faith and become the new yesugei bride. Many years after Lady Hogelun's capture, the Merkid clans raided Temujin's camp and attempted to capture him, but to no avail. The Merkid kidnapped the wives of the Temujin tribes in revenge for Lady Hogelun's earlier capture. Instead, Temujin and his army attacked the Merkid clans and killed many of their family members. During the raid on Merkid's camp, Termujin was reunited with Lady Borte. Work Cited: Daugherty, Mary. Understanding global societies. Sl: Bedford Bks St Martin's, 2013Work cited: Daugherty, Mary.
