+Cultural!! @ Conquered peoples
+
+Doc 1:
+    Sympathetic view (world conqueror)
+    Under the dynasty control
+    Fairness = crime (hammurabi)
+    Writing @ Uighurs.
+    Mongols created bureaucracy, but weren't great at it
+    They borrowed other cultures and eventually fell
+    Uighur = conquered people, Mongol children were typically warriors
+    Persian
+
+Doc 2:
+    Close to the dynasty too
+    Tibetan Buddhism/Yuan = China, but pushing a specific cultural view
+    Worldly welfare = Mongols
+    Trying to separate mongol activity from religion because they are
+        typically very tolerant
+    "order"
+    Peace from the khan (silk road considered safest)
+    Khublai Khan willing to make changes for religion
+    Because local religious leaders support
+    The Mongols changed their own culture to allow them to gain more
+        control in conquered regions
+
+Doc 3:
+    Arab, historian *about* religious leader
+    Likely a bit more neutral than from a religious leader directly but
+        still some bias
+    Mongols -> muslim
+    In conquered regions, mongols sort of fit into the existing bureau-
+    cracy
+
+Doc 4:
+    Historian close to the Mnogols, so universal history close to Khans
+    Christian!
+    Doquz Khatun is Nestorian
+    religion is a really big thing here (divide by that??)
+
+Doc 5:
+    Female companions = locals, help integrate the khans with the local
+        people and prevent revolt.
+    Tapestry used by Buddhists
+    Because the Mongols integrated religion into their local rules,
+        religious leaders supported the Mongols in return
+    Wait this was made *for the court* hmmm.
+
+Historical Context
+Intended Audience
+Purpose
+Point of View
+
+External evidence:
+After Kublai Khan's death, individual Khanates sprung up in the regions
+that the Mongols ruled. They retained the Silk Road's continuity while
+infighting amongst themselves. Needed local support (1).
+
+Mongols helped push technological growth during their rule because most
+governance was left to the locals with greater external connectivity,
+so there was less control
+
+Groups:
+- Religious Tolerance
+- Originally had internal secular rule system
+- Khanates = decentralized
+
+Thesis:
+The khanates, having become decentralized
+
+Groups:
+- Religious leaders try to preserve themselves
+- Mongols try to use religious infrastructure for their own benefit
+    (sometimes against other khans)
+-
