Mongols

The post I did yesterday was quite fun, so here is another event that may have changed history.

It is hard to think that only about 60 years ago, Europe civilisation may have fallen again under the rule of evil and cruel Nazism. A similar event may have happen in around the late 13th century when the Mongol troops from Central Asia rode into Europe and got as far as Poland, the figures of the Mongol army were about 100,000 to 150,000 soldiers and if they marched into France, Italy and Spain, it may have brought about the collapse of Europe as no country could field that many men.

This was a time when Christendom were sending armies on crusades and the Church was more powerful then the State and Europe was on the way to the Ressisance.

When the European countries first heard about the 'strange tribes' coming from far in the East, they believed that they were Christian warriors from unknown lands as they were attacking Muslim countries in the Middle East, they must have had a stock when they started to attack Europe.

But the steam ran out and the Mongol warriors returned home to Asia, what would happen if the Mongols took over Western Europe and Christendom? it may have slowed mankind down a little and I doubt that the world would be as advanced as it is today.
