what if the philippines was conquered by mongols,what would you think would have happened.
tamang hinala
then the mongols would recruite filipino soldiers and train them as horse archers and mangudai that would later conquer asia, europe, and africa biggrin.gif

but that would be impossible... mongols aren't good in fighting in islands (see Majapahit Empire)
plus, monthly visit of typhoons would just destroy their large armadas

diba nagawa na nila yan sa mga taga hainan,china so i think it's not impossible that they conquer the philippines,since there is no gov't compared to japan,ryukyuu and java.

If Gengis Khan would train the mongols to ride dolphins instead of horses then I think its possible.

pero, mapapansin mong Hainan lang talaga ang sakop nilang isla.

kaya lang nila nasakop ang Hainan dahil sakop ito ng Song Dynasty at ng nagwakas ang Song sa Battle of Yamen, automatic na magiging bahagi ng Mongol Empire ang mga natitirang sakop ng Song.

- natalo sila ng mga Hapon dahil sa kamikaze.
- natalo sila ni Raden Wijaya (nagtayo ng Majapahit) dahil sa kataksilan nya at hindi magaling makipaglaban ang mga mongol sa gubat at sanay sila sa mga kapatagan
- natalo sila ng mga Vietnamese dahil sa scorched-earth policy
- natalo sila ng mga Mameluke dahil bumalik sa Mongolia ang mahigit sa kalahati ng hukbo ng mga Mongol

i think they can because filipinos don't have government,how can it not be-they haven't tried,i am asking what will happen if they tried,there was no army in the philippines during that time only in cebu and sultanate of sulu

i'm sure that they will submit immediately to the mongols by the time they saw the mongol ships.

i'm sure they already heard mongols from the chinese traders before

Thats because they have conquered the central government a.k.a. the son of heaven/emperor of china so all of the chinese territories are ceded to them ~ they didn't conquer the province one by one ~ when kubilai defeated the song, the song emperor killed himself and his son, thus kubilai performed the mandate of heaven ritual to succeed china as emperor of the yuan.

ganun pa rin. wala naman nagbabago... tignan mo, sinakop nila ang middle east pero walang nagbago kundi ang pagkasira ng Baghdad.

@Darkblade : correction, the last three Song emperors are all children....
the last Song emperor was drowned on the sea during the battle of Yamen.

other speculations that the last Song emperor escaped to the Philippines. but meh its not true

nothing, since mongols became chinese when they became rulers of china, china was already in trade with the philippines some of the traders and settlers would have probably been mongols.

It would've been harder or not possible for Spain to colonize the Philippines.

The Philippines will have as many Mongolian Grill restaurants as Jollibee biggthumpup.gif

if there is a very rich wealthy kingdom that exist in our region that can provide them with huge wealth they would no doubt try and invade it, they did it to japan and despite failing in the first attempt they tried again.
Shows the mongols have an extremely strong will and desire for conquest and willing to go to extremes despite the odds if the rewards are worth it.

Mongol's didn't have good ships dude. They conscripted Chinese boats when they went to attack Japan and got their asses handed to them by a storm.

The question should be, what if the Chinese proceeded their inter-ocean exploration? They had bigger, grander ships than the Spanish did hundreds of years later.

Hmmm. The Chinese could have ruled much of the world I think.

If Mongols invaded the Philippines, Lapu Lapu would kill Gengis Khan instead of Magellan. But I think it would not be possible for the Mongols to invade the Philippines. Filipinos were already good naval soldiers and seafarers during that time and they would attack the Mongol Armada while they are still at the ocean. Spaniards have mastered Naval Warfare and ruled the Pacific Ocean and Mongols and Chinese may have the biggest ships during that time they they could not withstand storms and naval war. I think the Mongols attempted to invade Japan twice but they failed.

There was a time when a Chinese Koxinga of the Ming Dynasty was planning to invade the Philippines with an Armada and 80,000 men and the Spaniards would defenitly lose the Battle unfortunately Koxinga died before the planned invasion.

There was a Muslim Kingdom in Luzon called Maynilad and the Spaniards were even surprised when they invaded Maynilad because they have advanced warfare weapons and tactics.

hm... you lack education about Luzon, lad.

Luzon is rich in minerals especially gold. (see Cordillera region)

1. sulu sultanate dident exist in the 1200's. philippines where just comming into contact with islam at that time.


2. the chinese may have been able to circumnavigate the globe if they had continued to sail, but i highly doubt theyd be able to conquer large chunks of territory in europe or the middle east and be able to reinforce and hold onto those territories so far from home. perhaps they could have conquered and held parts of the americas or subsaharan africa but even then the incas/aztecs where actively building their empire at the time and would have been tough to defeat........
tamang hinala
lol, aztecs and mayans are no match for chinese army.
because :

- chinese army is incredibly the largest army in the whole world
- chinese army use advanced weapons including canons and arquebus used in 13th and 14th centuries
- they are adept in every terrain, from the sandy deserts to the high plateaus and to the lush and thick forests
- they can build large ships that can able to transport a large invading force
- chinese army can also recruit foreign mercenaries around the old world to conquer the aztecs and mayans
islander
^You must mean the Incas since the Mayans civilization just disappeared. One thing for sure disease. The Chinese like the europeans would have brought new disease which would have decimated the natives in the Americas.

There were other native tribes that were no easy pushovers. Here is one.

QUOTE
Apache -

The first Athapascan peoples arrived in the Southwest about A.D. 850, nomadic hunters and gatherers from what is now western Canada.

They spread throughout the arid tablelands of the Southwest, forming numerous bands, where they came to be known jointly among the regional original inhabitants as the Apaches probably meaning "enemies."

Even after having established their new homelands, the Apaches continued to wander over a wide range, raiding sedentary peoples for food and slaves.

Fierce fighters and masters of survival in the wilderness, they were feared by other inhabitants of the Southwest - Pueblo Indians, Spanish, Mexicans, and Americans - until their ultimate conquest.

Their presence and harassment checked Spanish and Mexican expansion northward.

And, some years after the United States takeover of the Southwest in 1848, when they then had become enemies of the Anglo-American occupants, they proved themselves the most stubborn of the Indian guerrillas.

General George Crook, who campaigned against the Apaches as well as against many other Indians, singled them out as the "tigers of the human species."

There are too many variables to know a alternate history SF writer will have to tackle the subject. Would the Mongols try to turn the islands into a single nation?

What would the Spanish do when they showed up?

If Spain didn't take it would the Royal Navy do what it did the world over, sieze the port and straits.

If not the UK then who grabs Manila Bay? Without Spain the US does not become invovled, does Japan go for after defeating Russia or is another European power already in Manila?

Without the US how does Japanese occupation run? After Japan is nuked then what?

In the Cold War is the Philippines the run away location instead of Taiwan? Or does it stay Commnist and Taiwan is abandoned since they are flanked?

If the Mongols conquered the Philippines, the national food will be Mongolian Barbecue and Mongolian Rice.
JessicaW
This is tough because I do not believe there is a precedent of Mongols conquering any islands because seafaring was not one of their fortes.

I think maybe the Negritos would have been decimated, as they were in Southern China.

the philippines might be slightly sinified like korea,because of chinese influences and philippines will more likely be a commie country now.


some non negritos,ex.my house maid do look like that as well,perhaps because it is their dominant phenotype.

what if the mongolians conquered phils:

- printing would have been introduced
- bureaucracy would have been introduced as well
- philippines may well have become China's fishing post
- horses would have been widely used
- pinoys might have helped kublai khan invade japan

actually i saw those guys at subic when we had a field trip there, they are so cool

on-topic :
yeah, i'm very sure that Philippines' culture will be same with the indonesian and malaysian cultures if the spanish didn't arrived, i mean islamization of the islands is on the process only halted by the arrival of europeans.

and your dream that Philippines will stay pagan if it was never conquered would also end by 16th Century, because Muslims are already spreading throughout the country.

Well it was the era. Just as a US carrier battlegroup can go just about anywhere in the world and overwelm the local defenses an age of sail ship of the line or steamship age cruiser could do the same.

However without nuclear power those ports and natural harbors would have been needed to keep those fleets afloat and somebody would have siezed them for coaling, watering etc. However maybe they would not care about the rest of the islands and felt no need to claim everything the admiral saw for the crown and king.

Without somebody claiming all land a weeks sail away we have a bunch of islands with people speaking different tongues. Does a nation form out of that?

perhaps we will have a muyeol(king of silla)-like person who will unite the philippines(or perhaps only luzon),and perhaps those minorities will disappear like dust because of assimilation leaving the major ethnic groups the only ethnic groups.

Why would they assimilate and disappear? They haven't even with colonial rule and later Philippines central government which came about as a legacy of Spain claiming all. They are on seperate islands. Exactly why would someone go risk his life just to kill the other without picking up a real resource worth the risk like a deep water port?

Because no one would run away from the mountains to hide from spanish while the rest are being isolated in reducciones,the minority christian ethnicities(like pampangueno) remained their existence because of reducciones stopped the dissolution of smaller ethnic groups,and manila-rizal area used to be a sambal/pampangueno area before tagalogs from eastern luzon invaded it during prehispanic times,assimilating the pampangueno and sambal of metro manila-rizal area,Dumagat Kaliwa and Dumagat Kanan are the only remnants of these people whom tagalogs assimilated and they are aetas speaking a sambal/pampangueno language.

The filipinos are as homogeneous genetically as koreans,japanese and vietnamese but not culturally,In short,it's only their ancestors not the majority,and filipinos are a unique entity of themselves in short we are related to each other than we are related to others,the ancestors of those rulers,the majority's ancestors have only one ancestors in short in dna filipinos are the same so filipinos are not genetically diverse since the time they arrived(before christian era) although there is a little north and south genetic clyne except for negritos and mestizos
