――傑弗裏?巴勒剋拉夫
《全球通史》給瞭我強烈的真實感:它是一種思想武器,可以用來救治我們現在所麵臨的由於陶醉於技術進步而産生的深重的精神危機;它有助於人們理解未來,包含各種可能性和選擇的未來。

Ⅳ.MONGOL DECLINE
The basic reason for the decline of the Mongols was that they were too few in number and too primitive in relation to their subject peoples.The Mongols, as Pushkin put it, were "Arabs without Aristotle and algebra." This left them wlnerable to assimilation as soon as they dis-mounted from their horses and settled down to enjoy their conquests. In this respect they dif-fered fundamentally from the Arabs, who had both a language and a religion that their sub-jects were willing to adopt and which served as strong bonds for imperial unity. The Mongols,being less advanced than the Arabs, enjoyed no such advantage. Rather, the opposite was the case with them, for they adopted the languages,religions, and cultures of their more-advanced subjects and thereby lost their identity. This was the root reason why their empire dissolved so soon after its creation.
Indicative of the assimilation process was Kublai Khan's decision to move the Mongol cap-ital from Karakorum to Peking. Inevitably he became a Chinese-style emperor, ruling from a palace of Chinese design, conducting elaborate Confucian ceremonies, and building new Con-fucian temples. As the Grand Khan, he was nominally the suzerain of all the Mongol khanates. Actually his authority did not extend beyond China. His brother Arikboga had con- tested his election as Grand Khan. Kublai Khan had prevailed only after a four-year struggle.Then he was challenged by his cousin, Kaidu,who controlled Turkestan, and the ensuing forty-year civil war ended in stalemate. Thus the Mongol Empire was shattered by internal dynas-tic rivalries as well as by cultural assimilation.
While Kublai Khan was becoming a Chi-nese emperor, Hulagu was becoming a Persian ruler. With Tabriz as his capital he established the so-called Ilkhanate. (The term Ilkhan means "subject Khan" and was applied to the Mongol rulers of Persia as subordinates to the Grand Khan.) His successor's adoption of Islam in 1295 as the offiaal religion both reflected and acceler-ated the Mongols' assimilation into their Iran-ian-lslamic milieu. Likewise the Golden Horde across the Caucasus went its own way, influ-enced by the native Christian Orthodox culture and by the official Islamic creed. Before long the only remaining pure Mongols were those in ancestral Mongolia, where they came under the influence of Buddhism and sank into impotent obscurity.
It is a tribute to Marco Polo's keen insight that he foresaw Mongol decline even when he was serving under the great Kublai Khan. In his account of his travels, Marco Polo made the fol-lowing significant analysis of the assimilation of the Mongols by the people they conquered.
All this that I have been telling you is true of the manners and customs of the genuine Tatars [Mon-gols]. But I must add also that in these days they are greatly degenerated; for those who are settled in Cathay have taken up the practices of the Idolaters of the country, and have abandoned their own institu-tions; whilst those who have settled in the Levant have adopted the customs of the Saracens.
Ⅴ.TURKISH REVIVAL
Since the Mongols were so few in number, they had taken an ever-increasing proportion of Turks into their armies. Then with the breakup of the empire these Moslem Turks quickly came to the fore, as they had earlier in the caliphate before the Mongol onslaught. A succession of military adventurers now rose and fell in the struggle for control of the central Eurasian steppes. The most remarkable of these was Timur, known to Europe as Tamerlane. He seized Samarkand in 1369, and from there he struck out in all direc-tions. First he destroyed the Ilkhanate in Persia and Mesopotamia, then defeated the Golden Horde in Russia and the Ottoman Turks in Asia Minor, and he even invaded India and sacked Delhi. He was determined to make his capital,Samarkand, the finest city in the world, and after each campaign he sent back caravans loaded with booty, together with craftmakers,artists, astrologers, and scholars. At its height,his empire extended from the Mediterranean to China, and Timur was preparing to invade the latter country when he died in 1405. His empire then disintegrated even more rapidly than that of the Mongols.
