“Was the success of the Mongols in Asia and in Eastern Europe the result of the superior tactics and strategy developed by Genghis Khan or superior weaponry (ex. short bow, cavalry)?”
In order to answer the above question precisely, it is important to evaluate political traditions, military technique and Mongol society at large. Mongol society were pastoral nomads that moved across china, Middle Eastern and European. As a result, the movement of families with their flocks and herds required decisive decisions(Desmond, 1950). The decisions were made publicly by independence of individual Mongols and their families. The decision was only implemented after ratification by council composed of representative from powerful families. People who were against the decision were permitted to strike off on their own. Similarly, warriors were allowed to move with their families and possession during the military campaigns.
During the Genghis Khan’s rule, he initiated two decades of Mongol aggression where he succeeded to conquer most parts of china, Iran and Iraq. The strong foundation and strategy Genghis Khan established and instil in the Mongol society, his legacy continues after his son took over power from him. Ogodei, Genghis’s son extended conquest into the Russian, Poland and Hungary territories.
