    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 were horse riding people that began gaining power in 1130 A.D and their empire collapsed in late 1368 A.D. They were known for their warfare methods, which were extremely unique at the time because they rode on horseback and completely destroyed every surrounding civilization they went into war with. The Mongols were also known for having one of the most iniquitous rulers of all time, Genghis Khan. Genghis Khan then passed the empire on to his grandson, Kublai Khan.

    Ariq Boke normally can be viewed as a questionable figure in Mongol history. Often times he is portrayed negatively through the primary sources of his era, especially those of Rashid Al-Din. However, despite his controversial background, Ariq Boke was an important figure in the Mongol empire because he represented the opposing internal conflicts of the Mongol imperium, as well as demonstrated the turbulence of the time.

And although Khubulai managed to defeat Ariq Boke, it is evident that Ariq Boke was the better of the two successors.…
