And let’s be honest: the Mongolians were probably not worse than any other invader. War, destruction, looting and raping is kind of par for the course for most civilizations in history.
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.

Literal mountains of skulls…
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.
The Skull Throne ain’t gonna build itself
Mongolians were the OG (original grimdark)
TBF, the Mongolian invasions are literally what gave birth to Khorne
I will take the third option
Well sure, but they were really good at it all
