Best Answer

Genghis Khan and his Mongol warriors became known for their cruelty and use of terror. Terror refers to violent actions that are meant to scare people into surrendering, or giving up. Mongol warriors attacked, robbed, and burned cities. Within a short time, the Mongols became known for their fierce ways, and many people surrendered to them without fighting.

Terror was an important weapon to Genghis Khan because he believed that terrifying his enemies would make them surrender. If they wouldn't, he might kill the entire population when he finally captured the place. The terror the Mongols inspired spread ahead of their armies, which led many towns to surrender without a fight.
