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
people were buried alive upside down while one was being shot by an arrow. Although they were prisoners, it did not seem necessary to use that much force on those defenseless people. Not only did the Mongols kill their enemies but also their own people. Their army consisted of groups. If one person were to flee, their entire group would be murdered. “When they are in battle, if one or two or three or even more out of a group of ten run away, all are put to death…” (Doc 2). To make sure their army was committed, they had to go to extreme measures. Just because some people flee does not mean you need to kill others because of them. They are not at fault and should not die in place of someone else. Some of the laws that the Mongols created are plainly absurd. The law related to personal relationships states that, “If an Unbeliever desires a married woman he will kill the husband and then have relation with the woman,” (Doc 10). This law was used for their own selfishness. They would kill another man just to steal his wife. They do not even consider how the woman feels about all of this. In summary, the Mongols had a barbaric way of living due to the fact that they kill thousands upon thousands of people. They would kill these people in the worst ways possible. Some parts of their own army was killed because of other people’s mistakes. In addition, the Mongols used laws for the sake of their own greediness. All in all, the Mongols were a group of savages that had a need to kill people no matter who or what the reason was.
