Now Marco Polo gave another reason why they could be dependent on horses, and that is that when these warriors are off on a distant expedition and if an urgency came up and they cannot stop to find food then they will keep their strength by drinking the blood of their horses. One of the main things that made the Mongols army successful according to Marco Polo is that when they were fighting, at times the Mongols would pretend that they were running away and as soon as their enemies thought that they had won the Mongols would turn around and defeat their enemies. After enough time had passed with the Mongols fighting, the biggest weapon of theirs was fear.

Temujin was the founder and Great Khan emperor of the Mongol Empire, which became the largest contiguous empire in history after his death. He was born in the 12th century, he managed to unite the tribes of Mongolia and then conquer huge areas of Asia and Eastern Europe.

The Mongols’ strong communication system, emphasis on trade and religious tolerance facilitated more contact with the outside world, bringing about the assimilation of other cultures. In each territory, the Mongols commenced their campaign by sending ambassadors to demand that the capital city surrender. If their subjects accepted, they were offered protection from their enemies and allowed to conserve their ruling family and religion, as long as they agreed to pay a tribute of all wealth and goods. (Weatherford 146) Since the Mongols knew well enough that they were financially dependent on the people they conquered, they did not mind who they were or what beliefs they observed. Furthermore, their own lack of sophistication caused them to admire…
The Mongols grew a reputation of being very barbaric and savage, because when they would conquer land they would usually slaughter everyone in the village because they did not know what to do with the people left over.

These ‘barbarians’ captured a surplus amount of land in a stunning amount of time with questionable war tactics. Despite the brutality of the Mongols, Christian and Muslin warriors began to become more and more merciless. All three of these groups of warriors prove to be dangerous and cruel, but the Mongols seem to have the perfect mix of terror and destruction to make them the most brutal.…
To begin with, the Mongols in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries were brilliant warriors who always kept their goals in focus. The Mongol empire should be described as fierce, their advantage was the fear that they brought to others. They based their life of of raiding other civilizations to survive. They were constantly on the move, never fixated in a single region. They were accustomed to having little, so it didn’t make an impact on them if they were stuck without necessities for a short while. This was common as they were always on the move and lacked in many needs, for example, food. The absence of a heart was clear when it came to killing others. Battle was the only reoccurring theme in the Mongols day to day life. Not only did they raid others of all that they had, but they also clung violently to what was theirs.
