The Mongols got a bad rap because of the following several points...
1. Theivery - Stealing from lesser communities, taking wealth, profits, historical artifacts
2. Raiders - Raiding, raping, pillaging and demoralizing their enemy
3. Murder - Killing those that did not conform to the will of the Mongols
4. Savagery - Not only killing villages and cities but killing an entire civilization if they are too unruly and hard to control
5. Lack of Integration - The Mongols did not enhance any of the civilizations that they conquered, they did not improve a nation, just controlled them, and used their resources.
5 positive points of the Mongols:
1. Ranching - They taught all nations how to raise livestock, how to grow civilizations beyond the agricultural mindset.
2. Progressive mindset - Incorporating new ideas from other civilizations, implement what works best in that particular area.
3. Tolerance - Mongols did not try and convert and irradicate any religion, philosophy, and teachings.
4. Women's rights - Mongol women had the right to divorce, own property, and be rulers and political figures.
5. Ecological - The aggressive spread of the Mongol's as they decimated civilizations slowed down the stripping of the land for metals, ores, agriculture which promoted nature to reclaim forest which in turn improved air quality and the environment.
