The Mongols created the largest empire in all of history. The land they had conquered is more than two times that of the next greatest conqueror, Alexander the Great. But unlike Alexander, who is often remembered as a hero, the legacy of the Mongols is one of brutality and barbarism. But in truth, these so-called “barbarians” were, in fact, not very barbaric at all. Recent discoveries challenged the long-accepted statement of Mongols being savage brutes, suggesting that they were perhaps wrongly labelled; the facts about them were twisted and lost to history.…

The Mongols wanted to be feared so they used that to their advantage and had no problem killing anyone to get what they wanted whereas the Europeans were more interested in establishing themselves. Europeans wanted to spread their religion and culture unlike the Mongols who just settled and learned from existing religions and cultural. Even though they had a different way of building onto their empires they still both wanted to have some sort of control of something and they both forcefully took control of what they wanted.
