Some Preliminary Notes on the Aftermath of the Eurasian Steppe’s “Mongol Moment”

Absztrakt

The paper singles out the decades following the Great Chinggisid Crisis, i.e. the period between the later 14th century and the early 15th century, as a “transition phase” between the Mongol and post-Mongol eras of Eurasian history. Looking at the political, religious, and ethnogenetic characteristics, the paper on the one hand attempts to stress the transitory nature of this specific period of time and, on the other, to assess the role of the Mongol Eurasian age in the history of the Eurasian Steppe belt.
