Discuss Mongol military technology and governmental techniques. How did the combination of the two bring about the subjugation of most of Eurasia, the control of great masses of people, and the impoverishment of much of the countryside?
Although not the first ones to use it, the Mongols used psychotic warfare (Because they were so outnumbered, the Mongols used this to get even and have an edge). Psychological warfare helps motivate people to surrender. They actually favor and tolerate the cities that surrender quicker than others. To ease tension with the Islamic world, some converted to Islam. This upset the women because then they lost a lot of power. They also had some sort of pride in which they can’t stand retreating/giving up.
