Rise of the Mongols

                                                                                                                   Geography 
     The Mongols way of living was an advantage compared to the places they conquered. The Mongols are nomadic, therefore they can adapt to any terrain and weather. The Steppe gave them horses, they started riding horses and shooting arrows at age 3. Every year the steppe hosts the Naadam Festival. The festival consisted of Mongolian wrestling, horse back riding and archery. The steppe had many tribes, occasionally the tribes would go against each other, trying to show superiority. By having the multiple tribes compete against each other, it would help get each tribe stronger.

Leadership
Genghis Khan's leadership was different compared to the traditional Steppe ways, it was based on merit rather than the social class they came from. Genghis would also promote his best soldiers to generals. He would award his best soldiers with the most beautiful women they captured and the treasures they stole. Genghis Khan was really into loyalty, if a soldier disobeys or disrespects his general, the soldier is to be punished in a ruthless way. The way Genghis fought would be based on the art of war. Attacking when they least expect it and using secret spies to scout out the enemy. These strategies helped the Mongols fight against armies that were larger than them.

Genghis Kahn & his generals

Technology

The Steppe had a great affect on their technology, giving them horses and archery skills at a young age.  They became very skilled with using their horses. The Mongols have many tactics that include shooting arrows from tactics and riding horses for miles. In some tactics they would allow the enemy to chase them for miles tiring them out, leading the enemy to a group or archers. The Mongols would avoid hand to hand combat, so they would try to kill as much men with their catapult, arrows and javelins. The weapons they would carry for hand to hand combat were axes, scimitars, and lances.

    Thucydides, the general of the war at the time created a source talking about the plague that occurred during the Peloponnesian war. He personally survived the plague. The plague began in Ethiopia and traveled to Africa and finally to Greece. He created the source to inform future doctors and scientist to notify the possibilities for the plague to start again. The plague was devastating, causing you to lose body parts and your mind.

"For the disease, which took first the head, began above and came down and passed through the whole body; and he that overcame the worst of it was yet marked with the loss of his extreme parts; for breaking out both at their privy members and at their fingers and toes, many with the loss of these escaped; there were also some that lost their eyes."
