Yes, the Mongols were enemies of the Chinese during the Mongol invasions of China in the 13th century. The Mongol Empire, under leaders like Genghis Khan and Kublai Khan, sought to conquer Chinese territories, leading to several conflicts between the two groups.


Why do Mongols fear thunder in the film 'Mongol'?

In the film 'Mongol,' the fear of thunder among the Mongols is rooted in their spiritual beliefs and the harshness of their environment. Thunder is perceived as a manifestation of the wrath of the gods, signaling impending danger and misfortune, particularly in the context of their nomadic lifestyle. This fear reflects their deep connection to nature and the belief that the elements hold power over their lives. The portrayal of this fear also emphasizes the themes of fate and the struggle against overwhelming forces.

modern mongolian in the country of Mongolia is mostly written in the alphabet of the Russians. mongolian and Chinese belong to two different language family Chinese is in sino-tibetan, where mongolian is not a member of this language family... so... yeah, mongols and Chinese speak different language, but most mongolians living in inner Mongolia (within the Chinese border) is pretty fluent in Chinese.


How did the climate change force the Mongols south?

Climate change, particularly the warming and drying of the Central Asian steppes during the 13th century, significantly reduced the availability of pastureland for the Mongol herds. This environmental stress forced the Mongols to migrate southward in search of more fertile lands and adequate resources to sustain their livestock. As they moved south, they encountered and ultimately invaded more settled agricultural societies, leading to the expansion of their empire. The shifting climate thus played a crucial role in shaping Mongol expansion and interactions with neighboring regions.


How did the geography of Mongolia affect the way the mongols lived?

The geography of Mongolia, characterized by vast steppes, mountains, and deserts, significantly influenced the nomadic lifestyle of the Mongols. The open plains provided ample pasture for their herds of horses, sheep, and camels, which were central to their economy and culture. Harsh climates and limited arable land led them to develop a mobile way of life, living in portable gers (yurts) and following seasonal migration patterns to access resources. This adaptability fostered a strong warrior culture, as mobility allowed for rapid responses to threats and opportunities.
