The Mongols conquered and controlled most of Asia during the early civilizations. Unfortunately, the manner in which they acquired this land was ruthless and barbaric. The Mongols started out as simple nomads grazing the pastures. They lived in steppes and had to learn to survive the harsh temperatures there. The different tribes often got into disputes over land for their animals and fought very often. This made the Mongols tough mentally and physically.…
To conclude the question of “The Mongols: How Barbaric Were the “Barbarians”?”. The evidence shows that they were very cruel in ways. Whether it's the death count or the way they treated the captured, killing them by boiling them to death or giving Temuchin’s blood brother a noble death by breaking his…

The Mongols maintained power because of the harsh, brutal ways of treating people. Word of the Mongols spread far, the people of Nishapur heard of the news and armed their warriors. However, knowing how powerful the Mongols were, they lost hope and “their feet were loosened and they lost heart” (doc 4) Many were afraid and knew the harmful manner the Mongols used. After approaching a town, the Mongols burn down houses and buildings. They destroy the land, making the people of the town defenceless. In the city of Nishapur, it was commanded that the town should be destroyed in such a way that cats and dogs should not be left alive (doc 4). Destroying homes created a vulnerable group, who were now afraid. The Mongols treated the people in the…
“Eight hundred years a relatively small army eventually conquered the largest contiguous empire in history.”…
The Mongols were a nomadic people until 1206, when they acknowledged Temujin as the supreme leader, Genghis Khan. A huge empire was created under his rule, linking Eastern and Western Eurasia. An analysis of these documents will discuss the topic of how the Mongols expanded their empire so far in such a short time through their power of violence. This analysis will also show the admiration and respect of the Mongols by others in surrounding regions. Ultimately, this analysis will discuss how the fear from other people gave the Mongols their biggest advantage in conquering other regions to expand their enormous empire.…

The poem Evening Hawk may appear to be about a hawk going about during the night, yet it is more than that. It is a poem in which Robert Penn Warren illustrates the transition from day to night and compares it to human flaws.…
"I am writing of the West, not of the Indians primarily, and certainly not of the romantic West which the best-selling authors have exploited."(Page 154) This line comes from D'Arcy McNickle, the author of many short stories and poems based on understanding different cultures including the Native American culture. In one of his poems called "The Hawk Is Hungry", McNickle tries to explain the difference in the rural and urban life, and the forces that control them.…
Magic Hawk, a statue in downtown Greeley, on 8th & 8th street, is where an ordinary hawk is flying through a small opening which is part of a flat piece of rock that is standing up straight. The hawk is made out of bronze to make it look abnormally mystical. Frozen in time, the hawk to me represents humans going through our lives on a narrow and righteous path made just for us. Anyway but the path and you run into a wall, a dead…
It starts with Ulrich von Gradwitz holding his rifle in the lands that were appointed to him by the Court. These lands were the cause of the feud that separated the two participating families. He waits for Georg, his life-long enemy, to approach him to face him. After they meet, they start an argument. While they were arguing, they don't notice that a storm had begun; as a consequence a tree gets struck by lighting. This tree falls down, pinning both men, injuring them. After laying there for a while, Ulrich starts to think about their feud. He suddenly realized that the reason they were fighting was irrelevant, because in that moment nothing seemed as bad as being stuck under that tree; at this point he had a change of heart and realized that all the fighting that passed down from generation to generation was only…
