Throughout history, people recognize only a few select civilizations as true “empires”. Without a doubt, both the Greek and Mongol civilizations are considered perfect examples of just such an empire. Although the two civilizations differed greatly in terms of their politics, military structure, economy, religion, and general social system, they were both able to conquer and control a vast area during the peak of their civilizations. To properly examine the two, it is necessary to compare them…
When the Mongols would conquer a society they would integrate the new culture into their civilization and try to learn something from them. They created a Council of Leaders and a cabinet of advisors from different tribes and nations to establish policies and make decisions. The Great Yasa was what they called their laws and directions and defined the Mongol behavior. The Mongolian Empire extended religious freedom to all denominations…
The founder of the Mongol empire was Genghis Khan. He joined together many nomadic tribes and created an army which he would lead into war. While his conquests of the world killed millions and created carnage everywhere it went, it was not bad for the Mongols, and a lot of cultural diffusion happened. Although it was very violent, the large empire would lead to a lot of cultural diffusion and they gave the opponents a chance to surrender peacefully without having to use any force. Although he…
the great mongol leader who's amazing speed and success of conquest helped them gain more land in 25 years than the romans did in 400 has caused a mass amount of death and destruction during his reign. But is all the death and destruction justified by the end result? During the time of the mongol’s conquest, killing a mass amount of people in order to conquer what was wanted was normal. Destruction was also a way to show how powerful an army was. Before Genghis Kahn’s rule of the mongols life…

Through their violent battle tactics, their way of destroying everything, and their violent punishment for breaking the law. One way the Mongolian Empire was barbaric, was how they used their battle tactics. Something they did that was very violent within their own army was, if two or three men ran away, the Khan had the rest of the group of ten executed, for letting…
Although the ways the Mongols dealt with war and prisoners were barbaric, their society and way of life was extremely civilized. For example, the Mongols buried prisoners alive, which was extremely barbaric. Document four states “They severed the heads of the slain from their bodies and heaped them up in piles, keeping those of the men separate from those of the women and children.” This act was also extremely barbaric. The society and the way of life of the Mongols was civilized, the opposite…

How Barbaric Were The Barbarians Have you asked questions about the Mongols? Such as, what they accomplished or if they were crazy or if their battle tactics were useful or not. The big question is if the Mongols were barbaric or not. In my opinion, the Mongols were not barbaric because they were organized, they could conquer land, and their battle tactics were the best at the time. Firstly, the Mongols were organized because their leader, Genghis Khan had one person being in command of…
