History

Answer:

The Mongols grew up on the steppe where life was difficult and required endurance. They fought each other for many generations, until Genghis Khan united them and created a huge army. They rode tough horses, moved very fast, were expert horse archers, learned from the enemies they defeated and were extremely disciplined and mobile. If a Mongol warrior showed cowardice in battle, they killed not just that warrior, but his entire squad. Their families went with them during military campaigns and supported the army. The Mongols were a poor people in material terms until they began their conquests, so they had a big economic incentive to conquer. The Mongols developed good tactics, including the feigned retreat and psychological warfare, fought with bows, arrows, lances, swords, knives and siege weapons, and were extremely ruthless and violent. The Mongols were entirely cavalry, while their enemies often had infantry components and defended castles and walled cities. Their military success and credible stories of cruelty encouraged some to surrender before a major siege or battle. The Mongols were not out to change anyone’s religion, culture or economic system as long as the subject peoples paid tribute or taxes. They moved rapidly to surprise enemies and lived off the land they invaded. Mongol raiding parties could often move at will in the enemy’s territory, because of their speed and mobility. Genghis Khan had sons, grandsons and great generals who could attack in many different regions.

How did the USA betray Emilio?
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

After the U.S. declared war on Spain, Aguinaldo saw a possibility that the Philippines might achieve its independence; the U.S. hoped instead that Aguinaldo would lend his troops to its effort against Spain. He returned to Manila on May 19, 1898 and declared Philippine independence on June 12.

When it became clear that the United States had no interest in the liberation of the islands, Aguinaldo's forces remained apart from U.S. troops. On January 1, 1899 following the meetings of a constitutional convention, Aguinaldo was proclaimed president of the Philippine Republic. Not surprisingly, the United States refused to recognize Aguinaldo's authority and on February 4, 1899 he declared war on the U.S. forces in the islands. After his capture on March 23, 1901, Aguinaldo agreed to swear allegiance to the United States, and then left public life.
