The mongols overall were evil in my opinion.They didn't last long, they only last around 80 years. When they would go to villages, they were brutal to the people they were conquering. They killed women, children and men. They didn't allow people to choose whether they wanted to follow them or not. And if they choose not to they were killed. Although they expanded the trade industry they also spread the black plague, killing millions. They also forced all men over 14 to serve in the military therefore killing children in the gruesome battles. The people they conquered were able to keep there religions. But were forced to follow them and pay taxes towards them.

I believe the mongols were evil. They invaded a lot of places such as CHina, Korea, India, Middle east and eastern Europe. They traveled a lot about 12 million square miles and they destroyed and killed anything in there way (crash course). THey also followed Ghangis Khan who took advantage of so many women. 1 in 200 people today are estimated to have his dna in them. THe Mongols have mass murdered so many villages. They has an army of 200,000 soldiers and they just knocked down anything stopping them. After they killed everyone in a city they would burn the whole city down so there was no evidence of their existence ( crash course video). The Mongols also created a bad name for themselves, they were called the barbarians ( document ). overall the mongols were evil and should never be considered good because of all that they have done

I believe that the Mongols were evil. They would slaughter villages who would not surrender and would r*pe women. Their goal was to conquer hut their way of doing such was very brutal. Genghis Khan was responsible for killing 40,000,000 people and would lead to go conquer and slaughter more. The Mongols would take prisoners of war and forced them to create siege weapons to take over kingdoms, and example would be the battering ram which was used to break down gates. Something nice that the Mongols did was protect the trade routes but with that and their trading they spread The Black Plague and did nothing to stop it from killing so many people. With all the people they killed they would also feed them to their dogs and would have towers of human skulls some of which were baby skulls. These are some of the few reasons why the Mongols are so evil.

Despite their seemingly positive achievements, the Mongols were pure evil. After all, these achievements were made just in order to conquer even more territory. Such achievements include: gunpowder, various weapons, etc.
Important to note that the mongols became famous not only for their strength and ability to move quickly, but also for their cruelty. In total, the Mongols killed about 40 million people, the massiveness and brutality of these murders are frightening.
As soon as the Mongols appeared on the horizon people knew that it’s too late to run, because of how fast the Mongols were. The Mongols moved in a horde going straight through the whole city and killing everyone on their way, weather it’s a man, woman, or even a child.
After themselves, the Mongols left fear, destroyed or simply burned to the ground cities.  They took people into slavery, boiled them alive, put babies on spikes, left human flesh and fat on the streets and even became a reason of a deadly virus called the black death that claimed millions more lives, sexually assaulted women so some of them committed suicides just to not to be in touch with the Mongols.
It is known that the Mongols raped about 60 thousand women and only Genghis Khan himself raped so many women that even today, 1 out of 200 will have his DNA. And there is much more terrifying facts about how cruel the Mongols were so i can say with 100% certainty that the Mongols are evil and it’s not just my opinion.

In my opinion, I believe the the Mongols are evil for many reasons. One reason would be when Genghis Khan had sent an army of 200,000 men across the Gobi Desert to Northern China to conquer their land. It was said that the Mongol's slaughter was so great that the streets were filled with greasy human fat and flesh (Mongols DBQ). They would do very cruel things to people in different cities and empires. For example, Mongols would slaughter children, behead prisoners, ra*ed women, and so much more (Mankind video). This was absolutely horrible and inhumane. Another good example, would be when they invaded some of these territories, they would burn down towns and people's homes. People would not only lose everything they owned, but now their own safety would be at risk (World History- The Mongols CC video). Additionally, these Mongols were harsh on their own people. For instances, they would make all men over the age of 14 enroll in the army (Doc B).  Furthermore, the Mongols had even set up their military in such a way that if they did not follow orders, there would be serious consequences. For example, in battle if you didn't fight boldly with your group, fight with your group, rescue captured Mongols, or stay within your group. They would put you to death (Doc C). As the Mongols conquered more land they more people they killed (Mankind video). In the end, Genghis Khan had conquered around 4.5 million square miles of land which resulted in him killing 40 million people (Mankind video).

I believe that the Mongols were evil. They massacred villages and cities that were in their way (Crash course video). They slaughtered people who stood in their way’ (Crash course video).’They put babies on spikes’ (Crash course video). Ghengis Kahn raped so many women that one in every two hundred women carry his genetics (Crash course video). Ghengis khan is also responsible for killing 40 million people (Mankind the story of all of us: The Mongols). Burned towns and cities (Mongol ppt). They mastered the art of siege warfare (Mongol ppt). Ghengis khan wanted to conquer all of the world (Mongol ppt). The Mongols also spread the black death through their trade routes (Mongol ppt). This is a mountain of war crimes in today's definitions. All of the evidence shows they were evil, and the leader Genghis Khan was a barbarian.

# data[].attributes.body
The Mongols, in my perspective, are evil people. I think this because Mongols often raided cities and ruthlessly executed people by beheading them. They would also kill children and sexually assaulted women. (Mankind video). Continuing, The Mongols were eventually called barbarians which refers to savage and evil people. (BE 79). They also had a withdrawal from Europe which was caused by The Great Khan Ogedei's death. The withdrawal was marked by widespread violence and slaughter. (BE 82). In the crash course video, Hank Green stated that Genghis Khan successfully united warring groups by killing their leader and forcing the followers to turn and follow him. By the end of the Mongol's reign, they are responsible for murdering 40,000,000 people. (mankind video). When the Mongols wanted to conquer territory they would force people out by killing them. (mankind video) They murdered so many people that people say the streets were greasy with human fat and flesh. (BE 79). In document C it stated that when the Mongols went to fight, men were put into groups of 10. If 2-3 out of 10 people ran away the whole group of 10 would be put to death. If 1 group of 10 ran away, 100 men would be put to death. So, they killed. their own men too.

The Mongols were evil. They invaded a lot of places such as China, Korea, India, the middle east and eastern Europe, etc. The Mongols ended up conquering around 11 to 12 million square miles. They destroyed every village and everything in their way(Crash Course). The Mongols had killed millions of people, around 11% of the world's population was killed by the Mongols. They would take the babies out of women and do horrible things to the women, a lot of women would commit suicide just to escape what the Mongols would do to them. The Mongols used horses and would shoot them with arrows while on the horses. They decapitated prisoners, they had towers of skulls. People would kill their own kind just to make sure that they are safe. The Mongols would light the city up and burn it to the ground(ManKind video).

Were the Mongols good or evil? I believe the Mongols were evil. The general reason they're evil is due to their brutal and destructive ways. The Mongols conquered 4.5 million square miles, on this conquest their ruler, Genghis Khan, is responsible for 40 million deaths (Mongols Mankind video). In Document I, it states that the Mongols committed genocide. They killed entire towns that refused to submit, having no mercy for anything living, even dogs and cats (Doc. E). In 1223 in the city of Herat, the Mongols slaughtered 1,600,000 (Doc. E). In Baghdad, in the year 1258 another massacre at the hands of the Mongols occured, this resulted in the death toll of Baghdad's residents being somewhere in the range of 800,000-2,000,000 people killed (Doc. E). The Mongols used prisoners from the city they were conquering to break in to the city with them and murder their own people (Mongols Mankind video). They had disgusting and brutal ways of execution and torture, one of the ways they executed prisoners was by burying them alive upside down (Doc. F). One of my final reasons the Mongols were evil is their use of psychological warfare. Though this is a tactful strategie of war it is cruel, the Mongols would use women and children to make it look as though they possessed a larger military force than they truly had (Doc. D). These are few of many reasons as to why the Mongols are evil, and I believe that though they accomplished some good in their reign, their treachery was far worse.

# data[].attributes.body
Were the Mongols good or evil? with some research, I can easily say the Mongols were evil. The Mongols were ruthless. for example, the Mongols would kill their own soldiers if they retreated. another piece of evidence is that the Mongols would kill anyone they saw, like pregnant women, babys, and even the elderly. If a city refused to let the mongols take control, they would burn down their entire city without hesitation. The Mongols would do whatever they wanted, whenever they wanted, for example, the Mongols alone raped over 60,000 women. Genghis khan was the leader of the Mongols and was responsible for killing 40 million people around the world, as stated in the mankind video.they also conquered 4.5 million square miles. this is why i think the Mongols are evil.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that the Mongols are evil. because the Mongols vanquished people for happiness (crash course video). They slaughtered people who stood in their way ( crash course video). They sent scouts ahead of their groups to find cities and warn them that they were coming and gave them two options either surrender and live under the Mongols or stay and be slaughtered ( crash course video). After they killed everyone in a city they would burn the whole city down so there was no evidence of their existence ( crash course video). The Mongols also created a bad name for themselves, they were called the barbarians ( document ). The leader of the Mongols Genghis Khan was responsible for killing 40 million people ( the story of all of us video). The Mongols also slaughtered all of their prisoners( the story of all of us video). Genghis Khan said on his death bed “ I wasn't alive long enough to conquer all of the world ( Mongols powerpoint).This evidence shows why I think that the Mongols were evil.

The Mongols can sometimes be seen as misunderstood, but the contributions they made to society do not compare to all of the terrible things the Mongols have done. The Mongols are evil barbarians. For example, The Mongols were responsible for widespread destruction and slaughter (Mongols Background Essay). According to the Mongols Background Essay, the streets were said to be greasy with human flesh. Everyone was killed,not even cats or dogs were to be left alive (Document E). When keeping the trade routes going, the Mongols were responsible the Black Plague (Crash Course Mongols). The Mongols were also responsible for the decapitation of prisoners, slaughtering children, and making towers of human skulls (Mankind Video). Genghis Khan, the Mongol leader, killed over 40 million people and conquered 4.5 million square miles (Mankind Video). They were able to defeat an army of 75,000 Russians (Background Essay). This evidence provides why the Mongols were evil.

# data[].attributes.body
The Mongols were evil and here's why. They were nicknamed the "Barbarians" because of there malicious intent. They looked down on the chinese bc they farmed on there knees and not on horses. Genghis Khan made numerous cities crumble to the ground. The streets of the chinese capital were covered in greasy, human flesh. They destroyed many cities in Russia, Poland, Silesia, and Hungary. He went on a rampage of destroying cities from 1242 to 1258. All men over the age of 14 were forced to enroll in the army to fight Khans army. They tortured people by burying them underground alive upside down, put babies on spike, and made towers of human skulls. They loved what they did and they weren't going to stop. That's why i think the mongols were nothing but evil.

# data[].attributes.body
The moguls were evil, this is because the crash course video states. 1211 Ghengis khan launched 200,000 men to north china to slaughter towns and cities, a quote from someone is that the streets were greasy with the fat and blood of bodies. also in document D, they say that they never stopped fighting, they would launch arrows and catapult things over walls all day and night. Document D also states that they would melt the fat of the people they killed and catapult it at their homes burning them, and because of the fat fires were almost inextinguishable. Document N states that the drunken was considered honorable. Document N also states that a man can have multiple wives as many as he can keep. Document N states that the Mongols would marry relatives and women who are related, and they would marry their sisters if they didn't have the same mother. Document E states that the Mongols would sever the heads of the people they killed and stack them in piles, separating the heads of women from children. Document B states that men, women, and children all were told to follow them, men, till they were called into battle. Document B states that men over fourteen were forced into war with the exemptions of certain careers. Genghis Kahn conquered over 4,860,000 square miles. Genghis Khan and his army killed over 40 million people, i got this information from the crash course video. that is why the Mongols are evil.

# data[].attributes.body
The Mongols were evil for numerous amounts of reasons. According to the Crash Course video, the Mongols were brutal to everyone they ran into if the people didn’t obey them. A direct quote from the Crash Course video, “The greatest happiness is to vanquish your enemies, to chase them before you, to rob them of their wealth, to see those dear to them bathed in tears, to clasp to your bosom their wives and daughters." Off-topic, but if that quote rings a bell, it might be ...The greatest happiness is to vanquish your enemies, to chase them before you, to rob them of their wealth, to see those dear to them bathed in tears, to clasp to your bosom their wives and daughters.” According to the Crash Course video, the Mongols were accused of the spread of the Black Plague to Europe which killed about 25 million Europeans. According to The Story of All of Us: The Mongols, Genghis Khan raped so many women that 1 in 200 people in the world has his genetics, women would rather commit suicide than be raped by him. Some examples of Mongol brutailys are that they would slaughter entire villages, murder children, decapitate prisoners, and build towers of skulls. According to The Story of All of Us: The Mongols, the Mongols were responsible for up to 40 million deaths. According to the Background Essay on page four, “Mongol slaughter was so great the streets were said to be greasy with fat and human flesh.” According to Document J, the Mongols conquered nearly all of Asia and wanted to conquer the whole world before the death of Genghis Khan. According to Document N, drunkeness is considered an honorable thing by them.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe the Mongols were evil barians. The reason I believe that is because their leader Genghis Khan was responsible for killing 40,000,000 people(Mankind video). Genghis Khan would lead his people to different empires and perform mass slaughter. Killing women and children(Mankind Video). He would then take the heads of the victims and make a tower of human skulls(Doc E). Some places the Mongols went to they would take the fat from people they've killed, melt it, then throw it on houses(BE 93). People even said the Mongol slaughter was so great the streets were greasy with human fat and flesh(BE 81). The mongols would take all men over 14 year old and forced them to enroll in the army(BE 86). Then if 1-3 or more ran away. They would put everyone to death(BE 91). Genghis Khan raped so many women, when he would go to a new empire some women decided they would rather kill themselves than be raped by him(Mankind Video). This is why I believe the Mongols were evil.

# data[].attributes.body
The Mongols were evil for lots of reasons. Some examples of them being evil are because they took pleasure in slaughtering cities(Crash Course). Another example is that they killed at least 40 million people(Crash Course). The Mongols were also called evil barbarians that were savage(Crash Course). Some people even think that the Mongols were responsible for spreading the black plague in Europe because they protected and opened up the trade routes to go from east to west(Crash Course). Genghis Khan is also responsible for raping over sixty thousand women and most women preferred suicide over living during the battle(Mankind Video). The Mongols also forced any male over the age of 14 to join the army(Document B). The Mongols also conquered 4.5 million square miles(Mankind video). They also decapitated prisoners and used them as shields(Mankind Video). That is why I think the Mongols were evil.

# data[].attributes.body
The mongols were evil because of many reasons. The first reason I believe they were evil was that in the National Geographic video it said that Genghis Khan and his whole army rapped 60 thousand women, which is inhumane and horrible. Another example said in the National Geographic video is that, The mongols also would burn cities all the way to the ground and leave the people in those cities with nothing left putting their safety at stake having their homes and everything being burned down and being taken from them. According to the crash course video we watched in class as well they were described as very brutal, and they were known for torturing people and killed 40 million people. These people didn't have peaceful deaths they were killed in so many brutal ways like pouring molten silver into peoples eyes and ears. they would use peoples dead corps as shields and boil people alive. They also conquered many territories by killing the leaders of those territories and citizens that got in their way as it said in (document E). The mongols also gave citizens chances to join his army and help conquer the world with him, but if they refused to do so they would kill them, (document B.) The Mongols were also resposnible for spreading the Black Death when they opened up trade routes to share goods and services (PPT). Overall the mongols were a group that had horrific morals and murdered millions of innocent people.

# data[].attributes.body
The Mongols were evil for lots of reasons. According to the Crash Course, the Mongols would kill anyone who did not surrender to them including women and children. All men over 14 were expected to go and fight in their military. Regardless of your opinion. (Doc B).  This led to the Mongols being feared all over Europe. The Great Khan regarded happiness as “Seeing someone robbed and seeing them crying” (Crash Course video). The end goal for the Mongols was to concur the entire world. They were also according to the Crash Course Video partially responsible for the spread of the black death. Also, Drunkenness is considered an honorable thing according to the Mongols. (Doc N). It was also told that “Mongol slaughter was so great that the streets were said to be greasy with human fat and flash.” (Background essay). They also charged taxes on all goods leading to the merchants making less money on their goods (Background Essay).

# data[].attributes.body
I believe the mongols were evil.
The reason I believe this is because according to Mankind-video, it claims they decapitated prisoners, made towers of human skulls, and slaughtered children.
The video also claims that Genghis Khan rapped so many women 1 in every 200 people have his DNA.
Document E claims when they attacked empires they would kill everything and burn it to the ground.
The way the Mongols treated their soldiers also proves who they are, if 1-3 or even more men runaway the rest get put to death (BE 91).
When the Mongols went to empires and slaughtered the people it was so great the streets were said to be greasy with human fat and flesh (BE 81).
Adding on to the slaughtering, they claim after each empire taken down they would take the fat of the people they kill and melt it down then throw it on the houses (BE 93).
The Mongol withdraw was marked by destruction and slaughter (BE 83).
According to BE 79 The Mongols were overall known to be evil barbarians.
With the evidence I provided I believe I have proven the Mongols were evil.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe the Mongols were more bad more than they were good. They had one goal in mind to conquer as much of the world as they could while showing no mercy until their goal was met. The Mongols had no good intentions when riding to and from villages and with what they were going to do with the village occupants. In the DBQ it states that they sent up to 20,000 men to china and the murders were so brutal to the point where the streets were covered in blood. The Crash Course Video it also tells us that the killed leaders of the villages they went to before pax Mongolia while showing no mercy to them even if the leader did surrender and join them. Document N states they allowed the hunt of prisoners for sport and when they were killed they would take the corpses of the prisoners and feed them to their dogs. Document K states they rooted out adultery but they still allowed the men and women to participate in incestual acts. The DBQ also points out how they killed those who refused to join them instead of offering an ally or protection role. The video "Mankind- The story of all of us: The Mongols" shows that Genghis Khan would r*pe most women in the villages he attempted to/did conquer. The video also states that were estimated to have killed over 40 million people through the span of Genghis Khans reign of power.

# data[].attributes.body
The Mongols were a group of people that conquered over 4.5 million square miles during their rule (Mankind Mongol video). Their leader Genghis Khan was a very successful leader who led his group to victory by defeating enemies physically and scaring them psychologically through various tactics. The controversial topic involved with this group asks whether or not the Mongols were good or evil, the evidence is clear throughout all, the Mongols were evil. The Mongol background essay explains to readers that, "Mongol slaughter was so great the street were said to be greasy with human fat and flesh." This shines light on the idea that the Mongols were ruthless in their endeavors, offering no mercy. Not only did Mongols kill people in large masses including the 40 million deaths they are responsible for, (Mankind Mongol video) but they also tortured their victims. Document F shares this information in describing that the Mongols would bury people alive upside down. Their cruelty is apparent when looking at the history of the group. To add to Mongol cruelty, they also cut the heads off of those killed and heaped their skulls into piles (Document E). Overall, the Mongols were a group in history that had grueling morals and engaged in the torture and murders of millions of innocent people. There is no version of history where the Mongols' good could outweigh the heavy burden they have added to the world.

The mongols overall were evil in there conquest. They were brutal people burning cities and slaughtering men, women, and children (crash course video) to gain territory and followers. In the (Mongol PP) that people were either given the chance to follow them or they would be killed. Not leaving much choice whether they wanted to follow them or not. The Mongols would use the prisoners that were from the city they were conquering, to break in. Forcing them to kill there own people (man kind video). They had all men over 14 in there military force (pg.89) making children fight in there deadly battles. When sucecfuling conquring citys, they forced the people to pay taxes to them and follow there new leader (crash course Mongols). Although they expanded the trade system, to be very successful, they also managed to spread one of the most deadly sicknesses through the world (crash course mongols). That sickness was the Black Plague killing millions.

# data[].attributes.body
The Mongols were evil due to many events they had taken fault too. One example would be when the Mongols would arrive in any town they would burn down that city/town that resisted and killed the inhabitants (PPT). When the Mongols have to travel due to climate weather and not being able to grow their crops they raided settlements and just took what they wanted, and did not mind (PPT). Once the Mongols formed their military groups they have very strict rules they must follow. One is that if a group of 1,2, or 3+ of ten ran away they would all be put to death. But if a whole group of ten flees the rest of the group will be put to death (Doc C). If you were to walk up to the cities you will notice a tower of human skulls along with seeing decapitated heads of the prisoners (PPT). The Mongols were also responsible for spreading the Black Death when they opened up trade routes to share goods and services (PPT). Last but not least the Mongols also executed whoever committed adultery whether or not they had previous convictions (Doc N). Last but not least the Mongols were responsible for the deaths of at least 40 million people (Mankind Video).

In response to the question asking if the Mongols were good or evil, there is only one clear answer. The Mongols were evil barbarians and that is what we should view them as whenever talking about history. First, they killed millions of innocent people, and their army was ruthless in doing so. Document E tells us about how they slaughtered entire villages, without leaving even dogs or cats. One example of their torturous ways is how they would bury people alive upside down (doc F) or put babies on spikes. All men in their empire were expected to take over military duties at the age of 14, (doc b) and they believed that the "greatest happiness" was to basically destroy your enemies and take all that they had. (cc) Some people argue that they did good things, which is not false. The Mongols did indeed build canals, open contacts with China, and increase communications (doc j) - but that does not come close to the extent of the bad that came from them, such as spreading the black death, an extremely fatal plague. (cc) Not are these people only "not good," but they are horrible- and if you don't think "evil" is a group that can cause an entire population to go from 50 million to 9 all under their reign (doc I), then I'm not sure what would be.

# data[].attributes.body
The mongols were evil. According to Mankind the story of us, the mongols are responsible for killing forty million people. Also after they took over a town or city they would burn it to the ground. The mongols would play with people like they were sheep and kill them. According to the background essay the Mongol military was very brutal. They would use prisoners as human shields. They would also kill anyone who didn't surrender and join the mongols. The mongols also forced any male above fourteen to join the army according to document B. According to the John Green video the Mongols were responsible for the black plague. They would use it as a war strategy to weaken the people they were fighting.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe the Mongols were evil because, all the evil acts they commited don't overlook the good.
In my first example, according to Crash Course, the Mongols would kill children of the empires they conquered. This terrible act they commited would kill the youth of empires, taking away people lives before they even got to live them.
In the National Geographic Video, It stated that the Mongols raped 60,000 women in total. This inhumane practice shows their power trip, and how they had no regard for women.
A third example of how the Mongol Empire was evil according to the crash course was how the mongols would kill their own comrades who retreated. This practice goes to show that Anyone in the Mongols had no regard for their comrades they lived with.
My final example comes from a primary source, Document N. This Source stated that "Every man can have many wives." This goes to show that these Mongolian people had no regard for women as humans, as they go against any values or religions they have.
Overall looking at these examples, We can conclude that despite the mongols doing some good, The sins they have committed are too horrible to say they are good.

I believe the Mongols were inherently evil people who took pleasure in slaughtering people and kingdoms. They would take excessive measures to make a kingdom crumble, as shown in the crash course video, there leader, Genghis Khan was a narcissistic inhumane man who only cared for violence and pleasure, as he would slaughter anyone who stood in his way, men, women, and children. The Mongols would also take prisoners of war, mainly chinese engineers and forced them to create siege weapons to take over kingdoms, a good example being the battering ram(Mankind Vid).Genghis Khan raped so many women, that 1 in 200 people in asia today carry his genes(Mankind vid). The mongol empire itself was not any better, because by the end of there reign, they were responsible for the deaths of 40 million people, and conquered 4.5 million square miles of land(mankind vid), but Genghis Khans grand plan was world domination, but he died before he could fulfill his dream.

The Mongols were evil because... first in the national geographic video it said the Mongols raped over sixty thousand women. the women preferred suicide over living during the battle. second, the Mongols would kill the children of the empire they conquered. third, the Mongols would burn the empires to the ground including houses walls, and everything else. fourth they were evil because they had inhumane tactics. they would take prisoners of the empire and use it against them this was said in the national geographic video. another reason the Mongols are evil they would spread their disease known as the black plague. this killed 1/3 of the human population. it spread because after they were done killing they would move on to the next empire. another reason the Mongols are bad is they killed an estimated 4o million people. almost all were the Chinese population having only 9 million Chinese. these sites are from national geographic and crash course as well as the documents including document b c and f.

I believe the Mongols are evil. The Mongols goal was to conquer the world, no matter what it took. The Mongols would conquer many territories by killing leaders and all citizens who got in the way (document E). When the Mongols were done killing thousands of people, they would burn down the villages, leaving no evidence they ever existed (Crash Course.) The Mongols gave citizens chances to join his army and help conquer the world, and if they refused they would decapitate them (Crash Course.) The leader Genghis Khan and his men would r*pe many women, making 1 in every 200 people have his genes. (Mankind Vid.) Genghis is also responsible for killing, in guessing, 40 million people. (Mankind Vid.) The Mongols would take prisoners and make them fight against their own village (Mankind Vid.) Also, the Mongols would kill prisoners for sport and then feed their remains to to their dogs (Document N.) Though the Mongols protected trade routes and expanded it to many places, they ended up spreading a deadly virus called "The Black Plague" and did not do anything to try and stop it. (Crash Course.) Though it isn't uncommon for everyone, the Mongols would force all men 14+ to join their military and fight for them (Mongol DBQ.) In the end, the Mongols are evil, they killed many citizens and conquered 4.5 mil square miles of land.

The Mongols were evil, and here's why. They followed Genghis Khan who took advantage of so many women 1 in 200 people today have his DNA in them. Genghis and his army slain villages resulting in the total slain of 40 million people. After these mass assassinations they would cut off the heads of these people to make walls of skulls. These piles even consisted of the heads if babies. Nevertheless, not only did they just burn these villages with the people in them they would bury people alive, upside down. They were relentless, ruthless, and never merciful. They looked down on people for simply going by foot instead of horse. These people didn't have morals, they had pathetic expectations and if you didn't live up to them and join them then you'd die. And they'd take prisoners and decapitate them. This militia was so big, he conquered 4.5 million miles of land through mass murder and cruelty.

The Mongols were evil barbarians. For example, Genghis Khan launched an army of 200,000 men across the gobi desert. They slaughtered the Chinese capital and the streets were said to be greasy with human fat and flesh (Mongol DBQ). The Chinese population went from 50 million to 9 million after the Mongols took their first census (Doc I). They raked over the land of the shah. Cities fell and Persian casualties were high (Mongol Background Essay). The Mongols decapitated prisoners, had towers of human skulls, and slaughtered children (Mankind Video). After slaughtering a town not even cats or dogs were left alive (Doc E). Genghis Khan was responsible for killing 40 million people and conquering 4.5 million square miles of land (Mankind Video). My evidence shows how the Mongols were Evil barbarians.
