The Mongols Were The Barbarians

“Eight hundred years ago, during the 13th Century, a small tribe from the grasslands or steppes of central Asia conquered much of the known world” (background essay). Most of the world called the Mongols “barbarian” referring to people who lived beyond the reach of civilization, people who savage, evil. Were they barbarians spreading death and destruction, or is there more to the story? Cultures had both expanded through conquest and changed the dynamics of regions. The Mongols were important for their limitless empire’s stable rule, expansion of safe trade, and wicked conquest.
Since they had a very large and skilled military, Mongols vanquished other territories in such a cold-hearted manner. They would slay and plunder other territories.
