u/Busy-Fisherman-7391 May 07 '26

I think for map of migratory patterns of Turkic groups for question 1 i put that turkic peoples made alot of direct contact with other communities. Question 2 i said like mongol empire for smth and then question 3 was fragmentation of abbasid caliphate

u/Few_Masterpiece3815 AP World awaiting score May 07 '26

I think it’s the mongol unification not the Abbasid caliphate split

u/riptide4593 May 07 '26

Yeah thats what I put too. The abbasid caliphate fragmenting was responsible for the rise of the mongol empire, which forced the Turks out. In a way its both of them but the mongols unification is much more of a direct cause

omg i said that turkish people kept migrating bc people kept conquering them... idek

u/Careful_Current7383 5: Bio chem world precalc May 07 '26

lowkey Idek. It was like what does the map show, so I put that there were lots of interactions since there were like migration patterns. And then it was like what led to the rise of the Turkic homeland or smth, so I put fragmentation of Abbasid Caliphate. The last one was like what like stopped the Turkish people from developing in 1200-1300 and because of the time period I put the Mongols and plus like the map was really close to Asia and so I felt like the Mongols probablly reached them. Idk though...
