At the beginning of the 13th century, the Mongols, who were preparing for world hegemony by ensuring their political unity, faced an important problem. The Mongols, who had lived in cultural isolation for hundreds of years, were far behind their contemporary neighbors. Essentially, partial commercial relations were established with these neighbors; But the real relations were shaped within the framework of wars. This time they had a large army force. However, this was not enough to manage the huge empire that was wanted to be established. Moreover, there would be regions that could not be captured by war. The contact that the nomadic Mongols would establish with the settled world was far from being a process that they could maintain only by using violence. At this point, local powers, merchants, communities acting with religious and socio-political missions, and even dynasties struggling for power will come into play, with whom they can act together in the context of a relationship of common benefit. In this way, the Mongols will be able to remove the obstacles between them and the civilized world and to remain permanent wherever they go. In our article, first of all, after an evaluation of the political structures established by the Mongols before Genghis Khan and their first contact with the outside world, we will try to explain the common benefit relations that the Mongols, who became a world state in a short time by Genghis Khan in the 13th century, established with settled societies.
