The Mongol Empire (Mongolian: Mongol-yn Ezent Güren; Cyrillic: Монголын эзэнт гүрэн), initially named as Greater Mongol State (Mongolian: Ikh Mongol Uls) was a great empire during the 13th and 14th centuries. Beginning in the Central Asian steppes, it eventually stretched from Eastern Europe to the Sea of Japan, covered large parts of Siberia in the north and extended southward into Southeast Asia, the Indian subcontinent, and the Middle East.
It is commonly referred to as the largest contiguous empire in the history of the world. At its greatest extent it spanned 6,000 mi (9,700 km), covered an area of 24,000,000 km2 (9,300,000 sq mi), 16% of the Earth's total land area, and held sway over a population of 100 million.
The Mongol Empire emerged from the unification of Mongol and Turkic tribes in the region of modern-day Mongolia under the leadership of Genghis Khan, who was proclaimed ruler of all Mongols in 1206. The Empire grew rapidly under his leadership and then that of his descendants, who sent invasions in every direction.
The vast transcontinental empire which connected the east with the west would eventually function as a cultural "clearing house" for the Old World. Under the Mongols, new technologies, various commodities and ideologies were disseminated and exchanged across Eurasia; the exchanges ranged from cartography to printing, from agriculture to astronomy.
The Empire began to split as a result of wars over succession, as the grandchildren of Genghis Khan disputed whether the royal line should follow from Genghis's son and initial heir Ogedei, or one of his other sons such as Tolui, Chagatai, or Jochi. The Toluids prevailed after a bloody purge of Ogedeid and Chagataid factions, but disputes continued even among the descendants of Tolui.
Rival councils would simultaneously elect different Great Khans, such as when brothers Ariqboke and Kublai were both elected and then not only had to defy each other, but also deal with challenges from descendants of other of Genghis's sons. Genghis's descendants would either challenge the decision of Great Khan, or assert independence in their own section of the Empire.
Kublai successfully took power, but civil war ensued, as Kublai sought, unsuccessfully, to regain control of the Chagatayid and Ogedeid families. By the time of Kublai's death, the Mongol Empire had fractured into four separate khanates or empires, each pursuing its own separate interests and objectives: the Golden Horde khanate in the northwest, the Chagatai Khanate in the west, the Ilkhanate in the southwest, and the Yuan Dynasty based in modern-day Beijing.
It was not until the early 14th century, when the western khanates accepted the nominal suzerainty of the Yuan Dynasty, that the Mongol world again acknowledged a single paramount suzerain for the first time since 1259 - even though the supremacy of the Yuan emperors in the west was by and large symbolic. When the Yuan Dynasty was overthrown by the Han Chinese Ming Dynasty under Zhu Yuanzhang in 1368, the Mongol Empire finally dissolved.
In reality, the Mongols actually lost so badly both times they invaded. 75% of their troops were lost before the battles, through the storms, and the loses of the Japanese were minimal.
@junkybabes And I'm certain that the fact that storms on the sea of Japan causing the Mongols to lose three fourths of their troops and supplies (both times) had nothing to do with it at all.
@azmhyr Kublai defeated his brother, the leader of the Golden Horde, during a short civil war stint. I think that's when Kublai gained control of Goryeo (Korea), to some extent, and was able to launch a strike against Japan. This would actually be true considering the fact that Goryeo surrendered at about the same time and Kublai was declared the 'Great Khan' of the Mongolian Empire.
...wait, why is this Modern? I thought Shogun was like way before Rome total war? why's it got cars and that? this isn't a massively-overhauled Empire...(you gotta agree, Empire sucked.)
@WolfytheWolf5667 When you win a game, it skips forward in time to show the country in the modern age. I suspect that - in this video - we see a Mongolian/Chinese Empire, with Japan as one of it's modern-day provinces.
From what I know, mongol invasions did effected Japan: the economy was low-leveled and there were lot of taxes. Somehow I know these taxes were used by the daiymos and shoguns while innocent beings starved to death....
Debt doesn't equal recession, the United States has been in debt for around 200 years, but they don't care, and have practically ignored paying anything back because they can.
Did you know that the Japanese gave hand grenades to Okinawan civilians and encouraged them to kill themselves if the island fell to Americans?
How many do you think would've died if we didn't drop the Atomic bomb?
Would you rather have the US and the USSR invade the Japanese home islands, resulting in millions of dead soldiers and tens of millions of dead civilians?
The two bombings ended the war and my opinion is that the short and long term effects of the bombings are more unethical than whatever measures Japan would take to defend their country. Who knows what an alternate aftermath would be like? Surely nothing as bad that propaganda would proclaim.
Killing 300,000 in a war to prevent a battle that would've killed millions. Surely more ethical
Historically speaking,
1. it was pretty certain that Japan wasn't going to surrender peacefully if we didn't drop the bombs.
2. Judging from the defense of Okinawa, the Japanese were willing to fight to the death
3. Casualties from Okinawa was 60k for Allies and 130k+ for the Japanese. Invasion of the Japanese home islands would've been more than 10x greater due to the far larger population density.
Killing the non-combatants to avoid killing millions more civilians/soldiers? On whos head really if that were to happen on civilian casualties? Japan was pretty much disabled not long before the bombings. They were probably considering surrender.
Hiroshima and Nagasaki weren't random cities. They were also two of the major centers for Japanese war production.
And no they were not disabled. Most of their army was still intact, fighting in mainland East Asia.
Did you forget the Okinawa example I mentioned earlier? The Japanese soldiers were outgunned, outmanned, and no had chance of victory. Yet most of them chose to fight to the death and gave grenades to civilians to encourage them in suicide attacks against American soldiers.
The rest of their army was occupied thanks to the Soviets and they no longer had a chance on the homefront. "A demonstration explosion over Tokyo harbor would have convinced Japan's leaders to quit without killing many people."
@GeniusIdiot: Do you think a demonstration would persuade such die hard fanatics to surrender? The only reason the second atomic bomb was dropped was to show that the first was not a fluke.
If the Japanese were willing to sacrifice their entire army on Okinawa, as well as use thousands of civilians in suicide attacks, it's fairly evident that an invasion of the Japanese home islands would've caused a large chunk of their population to fight to the death.
Japan almost didn't surrender even with the atomic bomb? The Japanese military started a coup to stop the emperor from broadcasting the surrender. It failed. But it shows how die hard some of the military heads were. Also civilian deaths weren't a big factor back then. They aren't your citizens and it happened alot in wars.Each side carpet bombed cities and shot first asked later. The only reason our military or any military cares about hostile civilians is because the media loves gore pictures.
@GeniusIdiot Admittedly they could have selected better targets and perhaps not dropped two (but hey, who better to test a bomb on than the nipsies?) but it saved far more lives than it cost and the surrender of Japan made it into the deficit-ridden marvel that it is today.
'Scuse the racism, I'm just resentful of Pokemans.
You realize that the U.S. government made 500,000 purple heart medals in preparation for the U.S. casualties during the invasion of Japan. We have given these purple hearts to U.S. casualties from other post WWII wars even in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Yes we can speculate what the alternative aftermath would be, but I think the actual invasion preparation speaks volumes louder than whatever you claim to be propaganda.
You're stating the obvious: not many empires last for 800 years, even the western empire lasted only 500. But it would have been interesting to have seen if these Mongols, trained in the steppes, could conquer all of the peoples in mountaneous Japan. They had alien tactics and superior numbers so it's well possible. But there just isn't enough information to determine if they could or not.
Well I think the video meant to show that the world didn't in fact radically chang. Notice there was a statue of a (samurai?) in a metropolitan city with the Japanese written language. But I feel that there would have been profound cultural changes if the Mongols had conqueored Japan for as short a time as a centruruy--in my opinion one reason Japan is so different from it's neighbors is that it was the only country not conqueored by the Mongols, and forced to deal with the external world.
The person who was talking was a Mongol, and Japan was part of Mongolia.
And if you say that is true, China was still screwed over by the British. Outside invaders did not make the Chinese any less isolationist and xenophobic.
I am *sure* Japanese culture *would* have been different, if the Mongol invasion was successful, but I doubt history on a global level would be all that different.
Wrong, in that Britain changed China a lot. Hong Kong today is one of the most capitalist countries on earth; and the government keeps it's hands of business more than even America. So is Singapore, and the areas of China along the coast that were most occupied by the British. Japan was 'technically' occupied by the US for only a decade, and they've been influenced. Culture change = leaders following different mindsets and making different decisions. Unite asia + maybe theres no 15921598 war
^sorry if my comment is messy, I was trying to fit it in one post. I'm trying to say that small changes are like ripples that grow in time. One reason Japan was so bold leading up to WW2 was that it had never been occupied. (Except for the failed Mongol invasion, and the saber-rattling of the Great White Fleet doesn't count as an occupation) Hence being a kind of detatched superiority from their neighbors--China for example was constantly at war with tribes, Goguryeo, Vietnam, etc.
Oh, I am so sorry, that is not what I meant at all. I mean, in terms of culture shifting, the Chinese where occupied by the Mongols, but that didn't make the Chinese turn outward as a major international *rather then regional* player. The Chinese where tackled from the blindside from the British and the Japanese did NOT see Parry *sp?* coming... all I am saying even IF the Mongols took over Japan, they would *most likely* NOT have been less isolationist then in this history.
Well I see what you mean, and it all comes down to how much the Mongols would have changed the culture of Japan. (A subjective question, which can't be conclusively answered.) But I would like to point out that Kublai Khan invited the Marco Polo family to return to his dominion, with the stated intent of learning about their culture and Christian religon. (The Mongols were always in search of useful information.) In other words, China under the Mongols was more open to commerce + ideas.
I dont remember what I wrote, too lazy to look it up. But you're not saying anything that I disagree with, except that you're not counting Europe highly enough--say the German powerhouse for example.
Exactly which country isn't in reccesion? Are you kidding me can't get out?
you know france,germany are riches in europe but also have an bigger recession than japan.America are also in huge reccesion and owes china countles TRILLIONS. Hong kong is the riches in asia but also in recession. Actually japan and hong kong are doing very well compared with others.
Iran is not in a recession. China and India's economy is growing. Japan has been in a recession since the 90s its not going to get out of it anytime soon.
You can't compare one continent's debt to one nations. Japan has the highest debt of practically any nation aside from america.
Japan are the 2nd highest tech nation in the world. Also you can't compare the standard of living with other nations. Japan are not having it bad all. We are still better than 90% of the country in world. Also japan are the one paying others people debt, korea still has to refund us 1 trillion yen. Japan is not like greece,british,italy,portugese,americans,ireland... okay?
@Shadowcry1000 ,Okay don't exaggerate I've seen the 2010 recession and Japan is nowhere near in the in recession like americans,british,greece,portugese,italy,ireland..Compare with them japan is way better. Also we out paying other nations debts and korea has yet to refund us 1 trillion yen. Japan are 2nd highest tech nation in world. Iran is just an piece of terrorist shithole.
@spiritclaymore you need to settle because a trillion yen is like five american dollars, so if you ask nicely i'll give you those yen. but only if you ask nicely
Well, I don't see how the inclusion of Japan as a province would have saved the Mongolian empire from eventually falling apart eventually. The Chinese kicked out the Mongols after 90 years, it could be argued that conquering japan would have cemented the Mongolian rule more, but no empire can sustain itself for 700 years without eventually falling apart.
Samurais were great swordmen and none of us can question this fact. It is also a clear fact that once Turks and later Mongols of Timuchin were matchless on horseback and at using bows. That makes a difference? Please cease this meaningless argument brothers :) Japan is country of Mongolians and Mongolia is Country of Japans. Turkey is also country of yours as much as it is our country. We are big, really big... :)
In fact brothers Mongols and Japans are brothers. We shed brother blood many times, a big mistake for all of us. Why not this time stop arguing just because of a video and try to be one fist, one power? Dont forget brothers, alone we fall, together we will be victorious. In this corrupted world, Altaics need to be together, at least just to be worthy of our ancestors. The only fact that they were all great warriors. Respect to Great Hordes and Honourable Samurai House.
Are you saying the Samurai who never fought foreign forces before, and whom only mean in combat was single dueling, would have been victorious against the Mongol, who had conquered majority of Asia and the Middle East, who stood at the front door of Europe, crushed the russians?
? no. i was talking about you saying "winning one battle does not justify winning an entire war mind you"
as for you and your position on a fictional war between samurai and mongols i don't care. ^_^. it's not easy to argue on the highlights of a war never fought. and although the mongols were an impressive people and empire, with the death of Khan Abu Said Bahatur in 1335 their empire completely fell apart to anarchy and civil war.
only because the majority of the Mongol fleet died in the typhoon, which they now call "kamikaze". Only small number of them reached the shores.. So of course they're going to defeat them with their combined forces. In my opinion, that's not a victory to gloat about.
Look it up, thats not entirely true. There was a storm and the Mongol captains decided to retreat, rather than be marooned and scatterred onshore, on unfamilar territory. A good move, but it was just bad luck that their ships were sucky.
Look it up im guessing you thought i just made that up on the top of my head. Unless history channel is a complete liar than I dont think what i said was made up.
@Hjernespreng No, it wasn't DESIGNED to fight mongols, in fact, when the mongols first invaded japan, their katana's BROKE against the mongols hardened leather, and i believe they did something helped to improve them, but it was still their horse archery that was most effective against the mongols.
@Hjernespreng I guess it was the tachi. And the katana was great for what it was designed to do, that being, a quick weapon to draw and use, although it's length is a severe weakness and it's ability to cut through armor is greatly exaggerated.
The length gave greater range, which is what it was supposed to do. It is for that same reason that the samurai used to pair their Katana with a Wakizashi for even closer fights.
And again, this is why I said the Katana was great in this instance: It was designed to slice through the leather armor of the mongols. That's it. It was never designed for cutting armor, nor have any professionals claimed it did.
Samurai used the Kanabō against lighter armor, not swords.
@Hjernespreng Never said samurai used katana specifically for armored opponents, just thought you were one of those people who thinks that it can cut through plate mail.
@Hjernespreng Had Kublai not been incredibly unlucky Japan would have fallen simply by force of numbers, You may have the better weaponry but the force that the Mongols could bring if they really started to flex their muscles would outnumber the entire population of Japan.
@Hjernespreng Yes after their navy was destroyed killing a good portion of their army, Japan lacked good quality metal and manpower both of which the Mongols (really the Chinese at this point) had in vast quantities.
The Golden Horde? lol, the grandchildren of greater Khans who broke off and decided to live it up in Europe and leave Asia far behind. Sure thing mister Mongol-Japanese narrator.
Surprised you are getting thumbs down over that because it's true. What is left of the mighty Mongol empire? No Parthenon, no Aqueducts, no Great Wall, no Colosseum, no Pyramids....
Actually both Gengis and Kubli Karn both matained one of the biggest land empire ever, it was only after a seris of weak leaders who followed did the Mongol empire break up.
That's exactly what I meant; as soon as the conqueror dies the empire falls apart. That happened time and time again with Mongols, so the ending cinematic is kind of a joke if you think about it.
They're confederated states not conquered peoples. They could succeed from the UK if they chose but it's in their best interests to remain part of the group.
Wales, Scotland and Ireland were conquered by England, now that the UK is a demcarcy they are now confederated states is because England already ruled them, the Mongols could have done the same.
it takes a civilized people to rule a civilized land, the longest duration of Mongol rule exists in Russia, where serfs work the lands and are not civilized in any sense. Mongols are a fierce people, but utterly laughable bureaucrats. So to simply put it, the Mongols couldn't have done the same.
Ps, i have nothing personal against Mongols, as a Manchu we are probably more related than any other ethnic groups, but let us be fair and not let our own pride jeopardize the judgment.
The empire was governed by a non-democratic parliamentary-style central assembly, called Kurultai, in which the Mongol chiefs met with the Great Khan to discuss domestic and foreign policies.
Genghis also demonstrated a rather liberal and tolerant attitude to the beliefs of others, and never persecuted people on religious grounds.
@almanacofsleep He reminds me of the Ancient Roman Empire rulers, or the Incan Rulers. They ruled the same way, their nations did fairly well, religion was free (unlike the European bastards), but all have been marked as "evil" for their misdeeds due to some bias. For Incans, it was because of the Europeans judging them by their own standards harshly. And for the Romans, slaves (but they were well fed through evidence), and DID kill Christians (through political conspiracy, not intolerance).
@1234yersiman I wonder why the europeans are afraid of other religions... well... Maybe its because the last time another religion came to europe.... they bombed the s**t out of Europe because the europeans didnt believe in Allah?!
@Acryingtear Actually, it is because Christianity itself is an evangelical religion, much like Islam. They would want to spread their faith to other people (which gives religion a bad name). So, since Christianity spreads its religion, they view other religions as competition, and view theirs as the one true way, like the way Muslims like at their religion. that is why they are afraid of other religions.
@1234yersiman I know they see themselfs as "the only true way" but I havent heard about any Christians bombing public places... Just because they wanna sent a message...
@Acryingtear You probably have not heard about Northern Ireland then have you? Or the Klux Klux Klan (they can be considered Christian terrorists)? Or anti-abortion groups (they bomb abortion clinics)? Or the National Liberation Front of Tripura in India (they forcefully convert people)? Or Christian patriotism? They are just as bad as Muslim terrorist groups (99.9% of muslims are peaceful), though since they are not being focused upon, people overlook them.
@1234yersiman This might sound pretty defensive to the Christianity... but... I was talking about stuff happining this century... I know what people have done for religion, but I'll go look some of it up ;) Thanks..
@Acryingtear All of what I said IS happening at this very moment. I will admit that Northern Ireland has cooled off a bit, but it still occurred very recently (at least 30 years ago).
Throughout the empire, trade routes and an extensive postal system (yam) were created. Many merchants, messengers and travelers from China, the Middle East and Europe used the system. Genghis Khan also created a national seal, encouraged the use of a written alphabet in Mongolia, and exempted teachers, lawyers, and artists from taxes, although taxes were heavy on all other subjects of the empire.
At the same time, any resistance to Mongol rule was met with massive collective punishment.
there's an actual japanese movie where ww2 japanese soldiers got caught in a time matrix and was sent back in feudal japan. It's called G.I. Samurai or something...

The only alternative to dropping the atomic bomb would be an Allied and Soviet invasion of Japan. (and you know what the Soviets did in Germany)
The Japanese death toll would've numbered in the millions in the best case scenario, and tens of millions in the worst case scenario.
Intranetusa 2 years ago
@GeniusIdiot Admittedly they could have selected better targets and perhaps not dropped two (but hey, who better to test a bomb on than the nipsies?) but it saved far more lives than it cost and the surrender of Japan made it into the deficit-ridden marvel that it is today.

You realize that the U.S. government made 500,000 purple heart medals in preparation for the U.S. casualties during the invasion of Japan. We have given these purple hearts to U.S. casualties from other post WWII wars even in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Yes we can speculate what the alternative aftermath would be, but I think the actual invasion preparation speaks volumes louder than whatever you claim to be propaganda.
cheesothegreat 2 years ago
The 2 atomic bombs killed about 200,000 people directly, and another 200,000 through radiation over the next decade.
The firebombings of Tokyo, Dresden, and Hamburg caused over 300,000 deaths...and this was with conventional weaponry.
The atomic bombings really aren't much worse when you consider the situation and the total casualty count compared to other events of the war.
Also, note that the allies lost 10x more civilians during WW2...

No way this could have happened in real life.
Even with the hypothetical conquest of Japan, the Mongols would have dissolved sometime anyway due to clan factionalism.
Do we today speak of Korea, China and Russia as Mongolian provinces?
I think not.
Foxlover666 2 years ago
You're stating the obvious: not many empires last for 800 years, even the western empire lasted only 500. But it would have been interesting to have seen if these Mongols, trained in the steppes, could conquer all of the peoples in mountaneous Japan. They had alien tactics and superior numbers so it's well possible. But there just isn't enough information to determine if they could or not.
keyinregulus3 2 years ago
I am not saying Japan couldn't have been conquered, just saying it wouldn't radically have changed the world in the way video suggests.
Sorry for being anal.
Foxlover666 2 years ago
Well I think the video meant to show that the world didn't in fact radically chang. Notice there was a statue of a (samurai?) in a metropolitan city with the Japanese written language. But I feel that there would have been profound cultural changes if the Mongols had conqueored Japan for as short a time as a centruruy--in my opinion one reason Japan is so different from it's neighbors is that it was the only country not conqueored by the Mongols, and forced to deal with the external world.
keyinregulus3 2 years ago
The person who was talking was a Mongol, and Japan was part of Mongolia.
And if you say that is true, China was still screwed over by the British. Outside invaders did not make the Chinese any less isolationist and xenophobic.
I am *sure* Japanese culture *would* have been different, if the Mongol invasion was successful, but I doubt history on a global level would be all that different.
Foxlover666 2 years ago
Wrong, in that Britain changed China a lot. Hong Kong today is one of the most capitalist countries on earth; and the government keeps it's hands of business more than even America. So is Singapore, and the areas of China along the coast that were most occupied by the British. Japan was 'technically' occupied by the US for only a decade, and they've been influenced. Culture change = leaders following different mindsets and making different decisions. Unite asia + maybe theres no 15921598 war
keyinregulus3 2 years ago
^sorry if my comment is messy, I was trying to fit it in one post. I'm trying to say that small changes are like ripples that grow in time. One reason Japan was so bold leading up to WW2 was that it had never been occupied. (Except for the failed Mongol invasion, and the saber-rattling of the Great White Fleet doesn't count as an occupation) Hence being a kind of detatched superiority from their neighbors--China for example was constantly at war with tribes, Goguryeo, Vietnam, etc.
keyinregulus3 2 years ago
Oh, I am so sorry, that is not what I meant at all. I mean, in terms of culture shifting, the Chinese where occupied by the Mongols, but that didn't make the Chinese turn outward as a major international *rather then regional* player. The Chinese where tackled from the blindside from the British and the Japanese did NOT see Parry *sp?* coming... all I am saying even IF the Mongols took over Japan, they would *most likely* NOT have been less isolationist then in this history.
Foxlover666 2 years ago
Well I see what you mean, and it all comes down to how much the Mongols would have changed the culture of Japan. (A subjective question, which can't be conclusively answered.) But I would like to point out that Kublai Khan invited the Marco Polo family to return to his dominion, with the stated intent of learning about their culture and Christian religon. (The Mongols were always in search of useful information.) In other words, China under the Mongols was more open to commerce + ideas.

In this corrupted world, Altaics need to be together, at least just to be worthy of our ancestors. The only fact that they were all great warriors. Respect to Great Hordes and Honourable Samurai House.

for two times the mongols were driven off the shores of Japan by two great storms that destroyed the invader's fleets.
From that storms came the name "kamikaze"... meaning thath the gods protected japan from the mongol enemy.

Hjernespreng 5 months ago
@Hjernespreng No, it wasn't DESIGNED to fight mongols, in fact, when the mongols first invaded japan, their katana's BROKE against the mongols hardened leather, and i believe they did something helped to improve them, but it was still their horse archery that was most effective against the mongols.
bud389 5 months ago
@bud389
Nope. When they first invaded Japan, the Katana wasn't even INVENTED yet. What you're talking about is the Tachi, which is a different sword.
The Katana was developed to fix the weaknesses of the Tachi after the first mongol invasion.
Hjernespreng 5 months ago
@Hjernespreng I guess it was the tachi. And the katana was great for what it was designed to do, that being, a quick weapon to draw and use, although it's length is a severe weakness and it's ability to cut through armor is greatly exaggerated.
bud389 5 months ago
@bud389
The length gave greater range, which is what it was supposed to do. It is for that same reason that the samurai used to pair their Katana with a Wakizashi for even closer fights.
And again, this is why I said the Katana was great in this instance: It was designed to slice through the leather armor of the mongols. That's it. It was never designed for cutting armor, nor have any professionals claimed it did.
Samurai used the Kanabō against lighter armor, not swords.
Hjernespreng 5 months ago

The first invasion failed, as the Mongols sought refuge in their boats during a typhoon right after their initial invasion.

it takes a civilized people to rule a civilized land, the longest duration of Mongol rule exists in Russia, where serfs work the lands and are not civilized in any sense. Mongols are a fierce people, but utterly laughable bureaucrats. So to simply put it, the Mongols couldn't have done the same.
Ps, i have nothing personal against Mongols, as a Manchu we are probably more related than any other ethnic groups, but let us be fair and not let our own pride jeopardize the judgment.

The empire was governed by a non-democratic parliamentary-style central assembly, called Kurultai, in which the Mongol chiefs met with the Great Khan to discuss domestic and foreign policies.
Genghis also demonstrated a rather liberal and tolerant attitude to the beliefs of others, and never persecuted people on religious grounds.

@almanacofsleep He reminds me of the Ancient Roman Empire rulers, or the Incan Rulers. They ruled the same way, their nations did fairly well, religion was free (unlike the European bastards), but all have been marked as "evil" for their misdeeds due to some bias. For Incans, it was because of the Europeans judging them by their own standards harshly. And for the Romans, slaves (but they were well fed through evidence), and DID kill Christians (through political conspiracy, not intolerance).

@Acryingtear Actually, it is because Christianity itself is an evangelical religion, much like Islam. They would want to spread their faith to other people (which gives religion a bad name). So, since Christianity spreads its religion, they view other religions as competition, and view theirs as the one true way, like the way Muslims like at their religion. that is why they are afraid of other religions.

Throughout the empire, trade routes and an extensive postal system (yam) were created. Many merchants, messengers and travelers from China, the Middle East and Europe used the system. Genghis Khan also created a national seal, encouraged the use of a written alphabet in Mongolia, and exempted teachers, lawyers, and artists from taxes, although taxes were heavy on all other subjects of the empire.
At the same time, any resistance to Mongol rule was met with massive collective punishment.
