    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. Throughout this paper I will be discussing how the Mongol Empire was founded, how their education system worked, daily life, housing, how horses became such a big part of the Mongol Empire, Genghis Khan being in power, warfare for the Mongols, passing the empire on to Kublai Khan, and contributing factors of the empire ending in 1368.…
