you also fail to mention that the mongols did mass slaughtering of the entire population of cities that resisted. It was genocide at mass, even children and women were not spared.
Also, their raids will conflict massive damage to local populations (pillaging, plundering and rape).
So, yeah..... you make it like it was some kind of 'chivalrous' game between nobles/elites, while it was not at all.
- retrac 6y agoNothing that didn't happen during Chinese civil wars. My intended point was quite the opposite. The nobles were playing a game, a brutal one -- and the peasants were the pawns.
- mr_toad 6y agoTrue, but that didn’t make them any less dead. Some estimates put casualties from Mongol invasions as as high as 60 million people. They certainly did kill millions, not just the elites.
