Chapter 11, 12, & 13: The Mongol Moment

Could they have done it differently?

Did they have to be so barbaric?

Could the Mongols have controlled the worldwith their livestock, trade, and conducte peaceful business?

Just brutal and rithless. Did anyone really like these people?


They did understand pastoral practices. They majored in livestock, animal husbandry. Basically they could go anywhere and do anything.

You do notice though the Mongols envied other civilizations. They just could not control themselves. They could have been satisfied doing what they did best. Nope, just not enough. The "Mongol Power" and size of it's army were out conquering other civilizations.

After they plundered and pillaged they kind of didn't know what to do with themselves. The Monglos then tried to weave themsemves into Russian, Persian and Chinese societys.


What were the Mongols really trying to do?

Did the Mongols just not know better?

I wonder, is the Mongol behavior learned? Or inate?

How could the Mongols done better?

Could they have made business trade with their neighbors and been more friendly and prospered greatly along the way?


I would re-write history history for them!
