...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.

Once an area was under Mongol rule, they were not forced to convert to the Mongol religion, or any other religion.

In the 12th century, Mongol tribes wandered the lands of Mongolia and later rose as a formidable tribe. These horseback-riding men exploited the fear tactic of heinous and merciless violence towards those they conquered, as well as using manipulation and force on those who defied their regulations.

...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.

...would be the Christians and the Islams. According to the 2010 DBQ Document of World History, one can conclude that the responses of the Christian and Islam were not similar because each religion had different beliefs, believed that the disease came from different origins, sought different practices of preventing the disease, and because the living of each religion responded differently to the plague.
