According to the video, the negative aspects of the Mongol rule of Genghis Khan are: • It is an extension of one- The Mongols became ruthless invaders who destroyed entire towns and slaughtered millions of people, the majority of historians. • Their empire didn't last- For 80 years, they had emigrated to China to be transformed by the Ming, a modern dynasty. In Persia, they fit in so well that during the 15th century, they remained unidentifiable. They'd even started farming! Agriculture is the final refuge for criminals who wish to dedicate their life to working rather than slobbering. • The Mongols were the most inclined to blame for the Black Death. By allowing commerce, they also permitted disease vectors to spread, throughout the case of the Plague, through fleas infected with Yersinia pestis. About one narrative, the Mongols deliberately spread the epidemic by transforming plague-ridden cadavers over the walls of Caffa in Crimea.
