Transcending the Eurocentric and Sinocentric perspectives, it presents a world historical view distinct from previous interpretations. Mongolia is no longer confined to the role of "barbaric destroyers"; instead, it reaffirms their historical value as pioneers of world history. The Mongol era stands as a period of remarkable and unique significance in world history. For the Japanese, Mongolia represents the "Mongol invasions"; for Russians, it signifies the "Tatar yoke"; for Chinese and Western Europeans, it is the "barbaric destroyers" notorious for slaughter. Yet all these perceptions are mistaken! The global state and economic system constructed by Kublai Khan has rarely been discussed or analyzed. What has long been taken for granted as "world history" and "Chinese history" is actually shrouded in historical fog and civilizational bias. Japanese scholar Masaaki Sugiyama meticulously dismantles these misconceptions here, enabling you to rediscover Mongolia, the Yuan Dynasty, and Kublai Khan!
