What Are The Mongols Barbaric
Based on the history of the mongols, some believe that they were barbaric and some believed otherwise. Much land was conquered and an abundance of innocent people lost their lives on the way. Some died in ways unthinkable. On the other hand, the Mongols were also somewhat civil due to the fact that they had crimes against adultery. But overall, the Mongols were a group of barbaric animals. Civilizations have been wiped out because of how brutal the Mongols were. Some of the killings that took place could be seen as torture. For example, “A scene from a Persian manuscript c. 1300, showing the execution of a prisoner by a Mongol soldier. Others are being buried alive upside down” (Doc 5). The Mongols did not have mercy for anyone. These

    The Mongol leaders also contributed greatly to their success. Khan (known as Great Khan), the very powerful military leader, didn’t tolerate the defiance of others “if you do not obey the command of Heaven, and run counter to our orders we shall know that you are our foe,” (Doc: 9). This statement is a response to the Pope, another powerful leader. The Pope recognizes the force which Khan is using “with a fury still unabated you do not cease from breaking the bonds of natural ties, sparing neither sex nor age, you rage against all indiscriminately with the sword of chastisement” (Doc: 8). This reestablishes the brutal force that Khan is using to benefit himself by leaving no survivors to spread information or become his enemies. Chinggis Khan was also a brutal leader, “he sent soldiers out against those of…

    They had no mercy for anyone who was in their way and would do anything to win a battle. In document 3, the Mongols brought children and women onto the battlefield to give the appearance that their army was larger than it really was. These harmless children often got caught in the crossfire and were killed. Doc 3 also states that “sometimes they even take the fat of the people they killed and, melting it, throw it onto the houses” (doc 3). To retrieve the fat, they would need to cut upon their already dead victims and savage through their insides. In addition to this, doc 5 shows a picture of Mongolian soldiers shooting an unarmed man with a crossbow and others being buried alive. For the Mongols, being buried alive wasn’t bad enough because these people were buried alive upside down. This is tremendously graphic and shows how the Mongols don’t have any boundaries when it comes to…

Nothing quite like it was has been done ever since.” ( Quote from Article:“The Mongols: How Barbaric Were the“Barbarians”?”).…

    There were many great warriors throughout the Middle Ages, however none so prominent as the Mongols. While the Carolingian “war machine” conquered a sizable expanse of land, it was a miniscule feat when compared to the enormous empire the Mongols ultimately created. Though they prospered for a relatively short period of time, they succeeded in generating a lasting impact. The traditional stereotypes of the 13th century Mongols were influenced by stories from Russia, China, and Persia, which insinuated that the Mongols were barbaric raiders contingent upon destroying everything in their path. This perception is not entirely true, while the Mongols were still a fierce war machine,…

    During his reign as emperor, Genghis Khan killed and ravaged many civilizations and villages, “He was responsible for the deaths of as many as 40 million people.” The amount of people that he is responsible for killing is inconceivable. Genghis Khan would destroy civilizations beyond repair. He wouldn’t leave a single survivor. Genghis Khan took pride in destroying his enemies. He once said, "The greatest happiness is to scatter your enemy, to drive him before you, to see his cities reduced to ashes, to see those who love him shrouded in tears, and to gather into your bosom his wives and daughters." He would not be satisfied with just defeating them in battle. He needed to make it so they could not come back from it. He took joy in truly wrecking all that his opponents stood for. He wanted to see them suffer. After Genghis Khan would destroy a village, “No living thing was spared, including small domestic animals and livestock. Skulls of men, women, and children were piled in large, pyramidal mounds.” He did not care if you were a child, he would kill you. It did not matter if you had wronged him or if you did nothing wrong. He did not even care if you could benefit him, he went to extreme measures to make an example. In order to prove a point, “Temujin's Mongols then defeated the Taichi'ut using a series of massive cavalry attacks, including having all of the Taichi'ut chiefs boiled alive.” Temujin, another name Genghis Khan, would go to extreme lengths to assert his dominance. He would use smart military tactics, and then use barbaric ways to finish them off. This would be his way of sending the message, don’t test…

    Did you know that in the ancient Mongol empire, the Mongol soldiers would throw human fat at their enemies to scare them off in battle? In my opinion, I think that the Mongols did more cultural destruction. I think that there was more cultural destruction because considering many facts and documents, the Mongols did more cultural destruction. I say this because in the spring of 618/ 1221 people of Nishapur would have many resources. But long after, they realized that those resources wouldn’t work against the Mongols.…

    The Mongols were some of the most innovative and intelligent people of their time. They were also some of the most vicious and barbaric villains of the 13th century. With genius war tactics and fearless warriors, they were the most advanced villains of their time period. Using cruel methods of punishment, such as boiling their warriors, showed clear evidence of barbaric activity. While using those cruel methods they also had intelligent ways of biological warfare such as catapulting plague ridden bodies over the walls of Caffa at the Siege of 1346. While many of their actions were truly barbaric, they were very successful in conquering most of China. Although they were most definitely not heroes, they were much more successful in war and conquering seeing that they conquered more land in 25 years than the Romans did in 400 years.…
