Question

1. in what way was the rule of the ancient mongolians similar to the rule of the ancient greeks?

both fostered peaceful societies and remained isolated for centuries.
both sought to completely destroy the civilizations that they conquered.
both established vast empires and spread their cultures to new regions and peoples.
both emphasized the importance of protecting the human rights of those they controlled.
clear all

Explanation:

• Analyze Option 1: Ancient Mongolians were not isolated (they had extensive conquests), and Ancient Greeks had city - states with interactions, so this is wrong.
• Analyze Option 2: Ancient Greeks often incorporated conquered cultures (e.g., in their colonial expansions) rather than destroying them, so this is incorrect.
• Analyze Option 3: Ancient Mongolians built a vast empire through conquests and spread their culture, and Ancient Greeks (through colonies) also spread their culture to new regions while establishing a wide - reaching influence (in the Mediterranean and beyond). This option matches the similarities.
• Analyze Option 4: Neither ancient Mongolians (with practices like forced labor and violence in conquests) nor ancient Greeks (with slavery and limited rights for non - citizens) emphasized human rights protection for those they controlled.

Answer:

C. Both established vast empires and spread their cultures to new regions and peoples.
