One of the large contributions made by nomadic nations in the world history is the distinguished nomadic civilization.
In the first period of development for several centuries, the mankind was moving as a whole searching for favorable natural condition, abundance pasture and various natural resources. As scholars noted, Mongols have surely been the distinguished nation, which has kept the great history of this great process from its start until today, and made to be wondering the world by having established the greatest empire.
Mongolians are not the ones who lived in quiet by just being settled and engaged in the nomadic (pastoral) animal husbandry. They created not only the great history of the nomadic civilization but also created the enormous complex of statehood rules, culture and science suitable for this nomadic lifestyle. Warring and journey process by Attila, Modun Shaniyu, Chinggis Khan and their successors had been definitely affecting the destiny, history of the movement and the development of the settled civilization.
