The Legacy of the Mongols

The mongols left behind a legacy of institutions, not just buildings and intera structure, but particular rules of law, institutions, educational systems or modes of government. What's specifically interesting about the mongols is how ahead of their time they are,. from looking back with modern eyes, to things like religious tolerance. If you were jewish or buddhist or christian or moslem, you were given special, protected status in the mongol world. The incorporationf minorities and ther a their redistribution to try to create a sense of common identity was very progressive.
