    Honestly from the limited knowledge I have, Mongolians seemed to be the one of the chillest of invaders. They gave you a clear choice, let us rule you or die. And once they ruled you they allowed many freedoms that crusaders and colonizers didn’t. Their tactics were brutal and I think that’s why people see them as so evil.

        For every mountain of skulls there were 10 villages that decided Mongolian rule wasn’t so bad.

          …in comparison to the mountain of skulls, that were likely raped before they died.
