Pros And Cons Of Mongols

Introduction The Mongolian Empire had conquered a huge 4.8 million square miles and its worth was an estimated 90 trillion. The Mongols empire caused many battles and wars plus many deaths were caused by the mongols. Mongols killed the most people from ancient time and the mongols at one point were lead by the deadly and known Ghengis Khan.The mongols should be remembered for destruction more then expansion

The second piece of evidence on why the Mongols should be remembered for destruction is stated in the document The Second Wave where it says "The next five years were to shake the western world. The first city to fall was Riazan on the eastern Russian frontier.After that came Kolumna, Suzdal, Vladimir, Kozelsk, Kiev, and other cities in Russia; Lublin, Krakow in Poland; Liegnitz in Silesia; Buda and Pest in Hungary- the Mongols swept their way west. By May, 1242, Mongol intelligence patrols were just 60 miles from Vienna. And then the unexpected: the Mongols turned back! Word from Mongolia had apparently reached the front lines that the Great Khan Ogedei had died. Not understanding what had happened, western Europe held its breath and waited. The Mongol withdrawal was marked by widespread destruction and slaughter. But the withdrawal was complete. The Mongols retrenched in Russia and never returned to Europe." This second piece of evidence supports the claim because it shows how the mongols went to Europe and just killed and destroyed and in the end they never even stayed in Europe to rule it or to take over.
