Mongolians ruined the Cradle of civilization

The guys were absolute dicks. They went around conquering a load of places without even asking first, but what ticks me off the most is that they burnt down libraries. They destroyed some of the greatest Arabian houses of learning during a time when the Islamic world was the center of civilization, robbing the modern world of much of the knowledge of the past and setting back human evolution by centuries. Essentially they're the whole reason dipshits still debate torture on internet forums.
Oh yeah, and they also killed a whole bunch of people, but we make video games about blowing people's balls off so who are we to judge.

Yeah, well, no.

I'm not entirely sure how to respond to this.

I need help I meant to post this thread in the History section

It is in the history section.

Cool story bro.

Kinda but still no.

Fuck it. LEts turn this into another richard nixon thread!

I don't really know how to respond to this..... but no.

Well, considering the height of Muslim power came AFTER the mongols...

I believe you should also ask people to conquer them first. Therefore the world became mannered.

"Oh excuse us, good sirs, but we were wondering if you could conquer us. We're sort of bored, so we had a vote on what to do, and well, here we are! It's all-inclusive, with rape, plunder, sacking, you name it! So, what do you say?"

I like the part when they said no.

I think that settles this thread.

Me too!

And all thanks to the Eastern Romans. Most of the technology and learning they got came from their conquest of Constantinople.

Yes...wait...no

They came up with GUNPOWDER independently. Don't pass off the torch of their success so easily.

Actually mongols subjugated more then killed, they were very tolerant, and they had a strict code of laws, they had the most tolerant society at the time, and any civilization that tolerant would last for centuries, unless of course, You are the mongols.
