...many new territories and formed the massive Mongol empire. It is very debated, however, if the Mongols were civilized or not in the way they expanded their power. Some people claim his sometimes brutal ways made him an uncivilized conqueror. Despite this claim, Chinggis Khan and his descendents did rule civilized by being very tolerant, helping places grow and prosper, and by reserving his cruel tactics until it was necessary to use them. Throughout the world, there were many different religions that people followed, according to their own beliefs, like in today’s society. The world wasn’t confined to one religion that everyone followed, so while the Mongols were expanding and conquering, they ran into many different religions people practiced. Once an area was under Mongol rule, they were not forced to convert to the Mongol religion, or any other religion.

...Thesis: At times, the Mongols could be described as barbaric, but in other areas the Mongols could be described as a very well organized and tolerant people, but they were never barbaric or non barbaric in any area such as war. In war there were areas where they would be barbaric but they had other qualities that made their armies’ non barbaric such as their organization.
