What made the Mongols successful?

Answer 1

Very smart leaders and great hunting experienced. They where also great terrorists. They had alot of horses. === === The Mongols were successful because they were smart, very tough, cunning, sort of disciplined and ruthless. Also, their way of fighting was so different, so fast and so successful that none of the established armies could stand up against the combined determination, inventiness and skill of the mongol horse archers.

Answer 2

The mongols had HUGE amounts of horses, every man had like 3 horses, but the Empire itself wasn't really successful, in a sense, they could conquer quite quickly and easily, but they couldn't really rule, so they couldn't do anything to control the people, which is where the psychological warfare came in, if an uprising came, they were slaughtered, I believe the Mongols killed like 1.5 million people in Persia alone.
