Around eight hundred years ago, a small group from central Asia conquered much of the world and has been expanding since. They were called the Mongols. The Mongols didn’t have a very good reputation due to the destruction and death they caused, but is there more? I believe that the Mongols were very barbaric. They took countless lives, large amounts of land, and how they treated the people they captured.
The amount of lives that the Mongols took were far too many. In Document 4 it states that the Mongols took over 800,000 to 2,000,000 lives when the conquered Persia.

People that didn’t follow his rules would’ve been killed and executed leading to people fearing him and allowing him to expand without disagreement.
The Mongols treated the people very poorly and were very cruel. In Document 5, it shows the image of a marksman executing a prisoner. If you read the caption, it says, “Others are being buried alive upside-down.” This shows that they are extremely barbaric because of how they are treating and executing their people. People should not be being buried upside-down and the others in the background should be defending their people. Even if they did something wrong there should be a way to fix it instead of public execution.
