The Mongols DBQ
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
poor ways. Evidence shows the few amounts of people who survive the Mongols. Not many survive due to the terrible ways they were treated. Evidence shows that there were no survivors when the Mongols conquered Kozelsk, a town in Russia, in 1237(doc 4). Although many did not survive, those who did obeyed the Mongols as they were fearful of them. The cruelty the Mongols used while conquering helped them fulfill their wish of maintaining power from many parts of the world.
