Here's the Mongol Empire at it's strongest. Many historians have argued that it was THE greatest empire in history, even eclipsing Rome itself in size, wealth and power. The Mongol armies were incredibly strong and enemies often surrendered even before the battle had started. Contrary to popular believes however the Mongols were quite peaceful and merciful as long as their rule was not questioned. There's an incredible amount of intrigue here, certainly enough for ten different full length TV shows. If you really want to like history, this is without a doubt the place to start. There really is nothing as amazing as this.
