  • Throughout the 13th century, the group of nomadic tribes known as the Mongols unified under a single ruler and proceeded to carve out the largest empire the world had ever seen. From the Danube River in Europe to all the way across Asia up to the Pacific Ocean, the highly mobile warriors overcame empires, kingdoms, and states they encountered until they eventually ruled over an enormous number of people.

    IDK if this is a wellknow fact-
    but the Mongels were terrified of thunderstorms, and hid in their tents likely praying and shitting themselves. Imagine how different history would be if some enemy folks were trotting by on their horseys, and saw that. Either the Mongels would have to get over it really fast, or history would be very different.

    The Mongol conquests of the 13th century resulted in widespread and well-documented destruction. The Mongol army conquered hundreds of cities and villages and killed starved millions of people. One estimate is that about 10 percent of the world's population was killed either during or immediately after the Mongol invasions, around 37.75-60 million people in Eurasia.These events are regarded as some of the deadliest acts of mass killing in human history.
